Haha that was meant to be crude.

In all seriousness, women who can give you a little space but still stay romantic after a long time are the good ones. With both of my exes, our relationships kinda fizzled out and things got a bit boring

LMAO! I can honestly say that I am sooo happy that my wife follows this list to a "T". She keeps herself fit with yoga and ballroom/latin dancing, she's feminine, no tats or plastic surgeries, very intelligent (can quote Tolstoy, Plushkin, Dickens, etc.), wants sex a LOT, doesn't cuss and never ever plays on her phone (except for the occasional candy crush). I don't need her to cook, but every now and then she whips up something for everyone.

I reiterate my support of the 13 things on that list.

Only one girl I have been with hasn't had the sex drive of an old woman

I mean, here's the thing - even though this guy says that this applies to ALL men, everyone has different taste. I mean, a guy who has tattoos probably isn't going to be against tattoos. And lots of people have tattoos. In terms of make up - some guys really prefer no make up and some guys like the porn star look. I would say that the majority of men probably prefer the natural makeup/tasteful makeup look - but I think what men really want is just for a woman to be beautiful. If she can achieve that with minimal makeup - so much the better. In terms of a woman being submissive - well, I don't really know that many men that want a submissive wife. I'm sure there are some out there - but I don't really think that it's the majority. Everything is subjective. But he's basically saying - have a good body, be pretty, be smart, like sex but not with more than a few people, put your husband's happiness before your own, yada yada yada. I mean - those are things that most men want. I think the part where he really rubs people the wrong way is when he says that even if you think your boyfriend/husband/etc. loves you the way you are - you are wrong. Your boyfriend has settled because his perfect mate doesn't exist. I disagree with that and I think he puts that in there to kind of take people down a notch so he feels like he has the upper hand with this article. Our faults are part of who we are - and when you really love someone, you aren't settling - you love them for their amazing points AND their flaws. My husband isn't perfect but I didn't settle for him. I wouldn't change a thing about him. And I'm pretty sure he feels the same way about me.

Just my 2 cents.

Mod cut.

I also agree on don't smoke and it sounds cold, but birth control or the morning after pill can work wonders later on in life.

Being a little pudgy is forgiveable, but kids no thanks.

I sent the list to my boy friend and asked him what I could to do to be more like that.
He texted back ... I like you just the way your are.
( Besides I'd never ask you to do a complete 180 like that ).

Yes - by all means - women, please abort your babies because you might not find a boyfriend later in life!

This is exactly the point that a lot of people here are still missing. You have a boyfriend, so unless he's expressed some sort of dissatisfaction with the relationship (which he obviously hasn't), then you can ignore the list altogether. It's not for you. It's for other people.

Actually - he doesn't seem to think that people in relationships are exempt. He basically tells them to stop deluding themselves that their partners really like them just they way they are.

But like I said previously, everyone has an opinion these days. Some will resonate with you, some will upset you, some you will just dismiss.
