    Nice to know this has been experimentally verified, and is no longer merely anecdotal.

    HEEE-LARIOUS graphic, by the way.

    Probably determine that after long hours of study financed by federal grant.

    Oh, and they prefer old whiskey too . . .

    Don’t have enough info. on the study to draw a conclusion: Is this representative of all men, did they ask gay men? What was the age group of participants? What is the definition of ‘hot’?

    So, may I ask the blog men, what are your criteria when looking for a female partner?

    brian,

    Ditto. How she looks in a little black dress doesn’t hurt, either.

    A smart, independent woman of her own mind. One that is as comfortable in the kitchen as she is in a boardroom talking to her subordinates and co-workers.

    Physical attraction is of benefit, but I look for more of a companion than external beauty.

    Call me odd, but long term relationship is more important than fading beauty and shallow personality.

    Wichi,Hot is certainly nice, but hot is not a look (and it’s certainly not silicone), it’s an attitude that any woman can have (sorry to disappoint all you slinky young things). Also, since I’ve reached an age where I just can’t have sex ALL the time, I really appreciate a conversation or two between encounters. This requires a partner who is intelligent, creative and has at least some shared interests and experiences with me, and is somewhat close to my own age. I also highly value a caring, loving person who has been around the block more than a few times. Luckily, I’ve had several such a people in my life, and do now. It’s marvelous!

    Hey, here is another scientific experiment:———-

    The Preacher’s son

    An old country preacher had a teenage son, and it was getting time the boy should give some thought to choosing a profession. Like many young men, the boy didn’t really know what he wanted to do, and he didn’t seem too concerned about it.

    One day, while the boy was away at school, his Father decided to try an experiment.

    He went into the boy’s room and placed on his study table four objects: -a Bible, – a silver dollar, – a bottle of whisky and – a Playboy magazine.

    “I’ll just hide behind the door,” the old preacher said to himself, “and when he comes home from school this afternoon, I’ll see which object he picks up. If it’s the Bible, he’s going to be a preacher like me, and what a blessing that would be! If he picks up the dollar, he’s going to be a businessman, and that would be okay, too. But if he picks up the bottle, he’s going to be a no-good drunkard, and, Lord, what a shame that would be. And worst of all, if he picks up that magazine he’s gonna be a skirt-chasin’ bum.”

    The old man waited anxiously, and soon heard footsteps as his son entered the house whistling and headed for his room. The boy tossed books on the bed, and as he turned to leave the room he spotted the objects on the table. With curiosity in his eye, he walked over to inspect them.

    Finally, he picked up the Bible and placed it under his arm. He picked up the silver dollar and dropped it into his pocket. He uncorked the bottle and took a big drink while he admired this month’s Centerfold.

    “Lord have mercy,” the old preacher disgustedly whispered, “he’s gonna run for Congress!”

    Hey, the little skirt doesnt HAVE to be black… I dont think… But I want someone who can talk, and think, as well as other things… I like to have fun in the kitchen, so that is important too… I also dont want a woman that is totally dependent on ME for her survival… I may not always be around…

    And Kansas, ummm, you werent always in the situation you find yourself in at the present time…

    I want a rich, young, blonde nymphomaniac with Alzheimers who has a flat head so I can rest my beer can on the top of her head.Giggity

    Hair color doesn’t matter to me nor race for that matter. I’ve met wonderful ladies in the past of all sizes, shapes and race.

    Personality and self-confidence is what I look for in a woman. Some of the worst dates I ever had were the blonds who couldn’t walk 5 feet without looking in their compact mirror or looking at their reflection in a store window. They look at you looking at them, then go off into “air head” space somewhere.

    LOL this reminds me of my spoof of a Government study that concluded that the leading cause of teen pregnancy was teenagers having sex! And for another twenty million dollars they plan to find out why it happens more often when teen girls have sex rather the teen boys?

    My favorite study was the one where little girls and little boys were placed in a room with lots of toys. The boys always went for the guns the girls for the dolls. From this the study concluded that little boys were different from little girls. It was a government funded study!

    Rage you should put a warning label on that link. For those who have not used it, it shows the NIH wasting 1.2 million dollars to abuse monkeys by either stabbing them repeatedly 7+ times or punching them up to 200 times. The crazy b*, and I do not use that time, wants to get more money to see how bludegoning them and boiling them affects them.

    Call your Congress people and demand this woman and her staff be stopped. Call PETA and have them boycott this lab. Have the police arrest them for animal cruelty.

    I support animal research, but only if it is absolutely necessary and uses common sense. This did not neither.

    Sorry I meant to say name and not time when referring to the b* word.

    I only point that out since the spelling Nazis on this blog are quick to pounce on a simple mistake while ignoring their own typos and grammar errors.

    As far as what I like in a man..lots of intelligence with an off the wall sense of humor is #1. Having an opinion and understanding the issues is also important. He has to be a decent earner, confident, somewhat ambitious, and good moral values..that’s my dream man! I’ve been married to him for 36 years.

    He has to have a gentle side so he can hold me when I just want to be held for no good reason. He has to be able to carry on a good conversation and not agree with everything I say but know when to say ‘of course you are right dear’. He has to be as big a sports nut as I am and not be afraid to watch a chick flick with me if I am in the mood and want company. Have good morals and have a real heart for giving. Be the best grandpa in the world and think family is the most important thing in the world. This describes my big teddy bear to a tee. He is 6′4″ of jelly when it comes to those he loves.
