Heh, you criticize the guy's taste and then bring up Starbucks and the Majestic...

Applebees is probably a primo spot for sheer variety alone. You got the young suburban coeds hanging out as well as the divorced soccer moms on the prowl. Very few places ITP draw a diverse crowd if you want to get down to it. Stop being an elitist or continue overpaying for your dinner and drinks at the "trendy" spots.

The Majestic is simply an overpriced hipster Waffle House.

Personally I'd almost consider those traits to be the bare minimum they're so commonplace.
Your husband is white. We not talking about white guys.

lol really? There is such a thing as Wanting too much. Its ok to WANT TOO MUCH, its just getting upset when you cant find what you want is the kicker. Its a lot of things many people WANT, but who says we deserve it? We all have to EARN the things we WANT. How do these women EARN this Mr. Perfect man they WANT? It seems people do not want to earn things anymore and want thing GIVING to them. I mostly hang with women, but most of the dudes I know are Alpha a$$holes like me. Very abrasive types, but Ive also known suckas & lames as well. You probably have known both types as well. I have not meet the so called "nice sweet guys" who has "street smarts" or any sort of "game". So when I see these crazy list called "basic list" it kinda says a lot about where people overall are heading....I think many men are not being men anymore. Doing/Saying things to please others instead of pleasing themselves.

So, how do "these women EARN this Mr. Perfect?" I have always thought that I just need to be the type of woman that the type of man I want is attracted to (hope that makes sense). If I want a man who takes care of himself and is physically fit, I should do the same. Are you saying there are other things women should do to EARN such a man?

I won't speak for all women, but I am happy to compromise on some of the things that I really want in a guy. I would prefer to date a man who is at least 6'2" (i'm 5'10" flat footed), but I have dated guys my height and even 5'9" (can't go any shorter than that - I feel like an amazon). I have dated outside of my religion - although I would prefer to date a guy who shares my beliefs. There are some things, though, that are completely non-negotiable. He must treat me - as well as others - with respect, and he must have a good heart.

I may be guilty of wanting too much, but I have been blessed to have dated a few great guys in the past - for some reason my personality tends to work well with officers in the military. They are confident, ambitious, intelligent and extremely respectful. And they look really handsome in their uniforms. Maybe I should blame them for setting the bar so high....

Do you realize what you just said? Are you actually implying that black men can't be ambitious and kind? Considering that I've pretty much dated the rainbow I know this not to be true. I've met and dated plenty of hard-working, ambitious and kind black men in my day.

I just think it's interesting that it's okay for men to have expectations: She's got to be hot, and willing to deliver no-strings-attached-sex at the drop of a hat. Oh and she's got to be able to cook too. So it's okay to expect a woman to be attractive, sexy and domesticated. But not okay to expect a man to be ambitious and kind. Right.

Who said anything about nice guys with "game?" I thought she said she wanted an ambitious man who is kind. I'm thinking kindness is the opposite of "game." Game (at least to me) means a guy is manipulative and deceitful, that's not something I would want in a husband and don't recall anyone else in this thread asking for it either.
