[QUOTE=JoeSki] This thread is making me wonder why I’m not attracting more women. [/QUOTE] This is maybe a shot in the dark, but could it have something to do with pimping yourself out in a thread dedicated to pointing out physical shortcomings? 😉 ---

[QUOTE=JoeSki] [li]With having said that, I’m a killer in the kitchen.[/li] [/QUOTE] So was [this guy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Glick), but that didn’t help him either. This is going to sound trite as hell, but the woman who will love you longest and best will be the one who sees none of the things you described; she’ll only see how you make her feel. Make her feel sexy, she’ll see you as sexy. Make her feel safe and comforted and she’ll see her protector. My apologies for any insulin you may require at this point. ---

[QUOTE=malkavia] This is maybe a shot in the dark, but could it have something to do with pimping yourself out in a thread dedicated to pointing out physical shortcomings? 😉 [/QUOTE] Well…chyeah. This thread amongst other places 🆒 . [QUOTE=Nawth Chucka] So was [this guy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Glick), but that didn’t help him either. This is going to sound trite as hell, but the woman who will love you longest and best will be the one who sees none of the things you described; she’ll only see how you make her feel. Make her feel sexy, she’ll see you as sexy. Make her feel safe and comforted and she’ll see her protector. My apologies for any insulin you may require at this point. [/QUOTE] Hahahaha. Thanks for the tip. I do need to start focusing on making a woman feel a particular way and concentrate less on trying to appeal to her interests and personality quirks by relating my own. It’s been one of those weird caffeine, sugar, and vitamin fueled nights. I’m done shamelessly hijacking this thread now. You may go about your normal conversation. _Bows out as graceful as possible_ ---

There is very little that turns me off physically. However what I do find unattractive, I find unattractive in men and women (though I am very much hetero). Dealbreakers:- - overwhelming arrogance - aggressiveness - stupidity - can’t take a joke - meanness - bad hygene - using more cosmetics/aftershave/moisturisers than I do Things I love - someone who makes me laugh so much I cry - a real friend - someone who is demonstrably affectionate - someone smart and witty - someone who teases me back as much as I tease them. ---

[QUOTE=Veuve\_ClicquotNJ] Also - I possibly may be the only Doper woman (at least on this list) who adores hairy men. [/QUOTE] You’re not. But you _can’t_ have Mr. Neville, even though he has nice chest and back hair that you can run your fingers through… He’s MINE! No ponytails on balding men- it’s pathetic. Admit that you’re losing your hair, and keep it short. Height doesn’t matter- I’ve been attracted to men who were shorter than me (I’m 5’3") and men who were 6’8". I don’t like big muscles. I like a nice fat or skinny geek. Mostly, my criteria are mental, though. I have to think of a guy as intelligent to feel any attraction to him. ---

[QUOTE=JoeSki] This thread is making me wonder why I’m not attracting more women. Mmhmm, something is amiss :dubious: . Of course, my tendancy to lead an introverted lifestyle could probably serve as an all purpose answer to questions like the one I’m pondering right now. Drat. Dagnabit, when’s the next Orlando Dope Fest? I need to meet some like minded people. [/QUOTE] You left out “confident”. That’s the A-1, be-all, end-all, super-duper female aphrodisiac there is. If you’re confident, you can pull almost anything off and make it seem good. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/what-do-women-find-ugly-in-men/389520.md?page=6)
