3 all the way. swoon extra swoon
Wow - you’ve pretty much described my husband!! Except he only goes to the gym twice a week. And doesn’t write poetry.
You may all envy me now. 
Put breasts on number#2 and I’m there baby!!!
2, hands down. 3 would have been a possibility except for the excessive romanticism. The others… just not for me.
I want the scientist, thankyouverymuch.
/hijack/
I know a couple that both have the same color red hair. Quite creepy. And I’ve crushed on both of 'em. (I’m a red head) Heh. I win!
/end hijack/
I’ll take Number 2, even if he might be a bit on the short side (and, as someone mentioned, a possible sociopath; that could, under the right circumstances, be kinda sexy…!).
Plus, I’m a sucker for jet black hair and a sizeable silencer.
Can I ask why this question?
This feels like a Cosmo Dream Date questionaire.
All these guys bother me:
1 Blonde. Violent. Axe. Nope.
2. This is a man who is extremely cool under pressure, calculating and methodical in his manner. Sounds manipulative and controlling.
3 shy Asberger’s syndrome? Professor Love, is dat you?
4 In every way, yuck.
5. Poetry . Going to the gym. As much as I want to like it, poetry drives me batty and any guy after a specifc age that attends the gym regularly I gotta think is self absorbed.
I’d like to see more sense of humor than brawn. More chubby or athlete-gone-to-seed than axe weilding ninja master. Handy (not the poster) around the house than Master spy. Stead fast and reliable than cunning and sleek.
I’ll forego the Ferrari and take the pick up truck. Thank you.
Althought, to completely throw myself at the feet of this survey, if I had to pick on, just one, probably #2. A socio-path, but with nice black hair and a good dancer.
God, I feel so shallow now.
My sentiments exactly.
I’d go for a combination of #2 and #5. A dark haired mystery man sounds extremely yummy, but I also want someone who’s willing to show he cares. However, #5 sounds like he’s a bit too much of a delicate flower for me. So, at this time I’d go with #2, but if you came back in 10 years and asked me again, I’d probably head more towards #5.
I’d rather know what they like to chat about than what their favourite weapons are.
I find it easiest to imagine #3 and #5 as real blokes, not just D&D character sheets. But there still isn’t an awful lot to go on re likes and dislikes and personality. Are they Beatles or Elvis guys? Are they into food, or would they happily live on Bachelor Kibble? Nothing that’s a dealbreaker or dealmaker, just oddments of information. At least you said that #5 likes poetry, at least that’s a hobby for one of these chaps.
2, but give 1 some intellect and I’d definitely consider him.
I’ve dated 3s most of my life. Enough already. Give me a guy who’ll actually express an opinion or preference!
4? yeah, right. Maybe 30 years ago.
5 - sorry, but the poetry puts me WAY off.
where’s the guy who knows how to iron his own shirts AND knows how to use a handsaw and screwdriver?
#1: blond is nice. caveman is not. (double-headed axe??? :rolleyes: )
#2: might have possibilities. not sure how i’d feel about getting close to a professional assassin, though. pass.
#3: sounds like not much help around the house. needs more of a mommy than a SO. pass.
#4: pardon me while i puke.
#5: depends if he writes REAL poetry (say “hi” to Shakespeare or Tennyson), or this modernist crap. that stuff i don’t get at all. lukewarm.
sorry, but archetypes are too rigid. i’d want a real human being, like my own hubby.
