You can certainly turn around... Whether this person would be waiting for you or not is debatable and usually unlikely.

Anyway, this thread is about physical traits. Nobody here knows what kind of people the celebrities are.

7 billion people on earth, not a one of them perfect. I think we're doing just fine.

Well, if you like it, I love it.

They want to date a woman that is perfect for HIM.

Fortunately, there are many men in this world and most of them are looking for something different.
That's a great way to look at it

I'm just wondering what the old gentlemen in nursing homes consider a perfect woman to sit and share a puree snack with, amongst the ladies there...

I caught an episode of the Kardashians the other day in a waiting room. They are in their mid 20s I guess? In that episode, the mom was concerned about the eating habits of Kim and brought in a trainer to make sure she eats right.

I likened that to when I was about 10 and my dad brought in an instructor to "fix" my golf swing.

Sure, perfect bodies of people on TV make it hard on the rest of us. But with the same support they have, why can't we train just as hard? And I'm referring to the healthy ones... not the malnutrition ones. If it's important to you, or you feel it is important to people you are trying to attract, why not work on it with a professional?

If we're talking physical aspects then no I don't expect perfection. I find way too many body types attractive to have a 'perfect' one. For instance, I know a girl who's pretty darn skinny without a ton to write about in the T&A department and a girl on the chubbier side but with curves to complement it and I think both are very, very, good looking.

From what I can tell men are not very picky in who they would date and sleep with. They are extremely picky in who they would marry though.

It's nice to see a guy say he likes both. That way neither feels hideous.

YESSS! Maybe I should have been more specific and said "marriage" instead of "date". I'd love to hear their standards for their wives.

Default "Perfect" is relative...

This just simply isn't realistic to me. AND sometimes women chime in and comment as well. They also feel as though they aren't up to par to these airbrushed, oversexualized images portrayed in the media.

I do agree that women should be healthy, exercise regularly and have enough esteem to take care of themselves.

So, after all I have said, do men really want to date perfect women? Do you wish more women were like Kim Kardashian, Eva Longoria, Halle Berry? If so, why?

Thank you.
There are a plenty of men who "want to date plus size perfect women," or "want to date very muscular perfect women.... So, my point is since "variety is the spice of life," I think its beneficial to find the beauty which lies within.
