Hmm. For the most part.

Oh shit. So I have to stop looking like a feral gremlin to get a man?

According to this… yes 🙌

Nah. This list is not the end all guide to dating.

I would love to hear a guy’s perspective on dating.

Having a brain of her own and not looking like a gremlin are musts for me.

I don’t really look like a gremlin. I cropped my sister out of this picture.

Your very pretty! The right man will appear when ya least expect!

I’d appreciate if it was sooner rather than later.

Also thank you for the compliment.

Put yourself out there! Just like you are doing right now! Get out of your comfort zone. Go do things ya don’t normally do. Sign up for a class. Go learn how to golf. Throw axes. Learn kickbox. That’s where you’ll find new interesting men!

My fantasy was to have a meet cute in a bookstore. I told one of my best friends and she responded with, “Like Joe from You?” (If you don’t know the series he’s a stalker/killer) So totally ruined my idea. 🤣

Fantasies almost never come true. But they are great to think about!

Dang… just rain on my parade.

Srry!

Savage 😅😅😆

🤩 Definitely not a gremlin! 💜💜💜

Thank you

Maybe you both live close each other?? Go on date! 🤷‍♀️ first nostr date!

What men and women want has actually been studied. For example:

Summary and update:

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sex-sexuality-and-romance/202210/what-men-and-women-really-want-in-potential-mate

I think the summary overemphasizes the differences between men and women, though. I recall another David Buss paper (which I don’t have on hand) that showed both men and women want loving partners most, but down the list there were some differences in priorities.

Academic achievements and independence aren't important? Nah, that ain't true. 🤨 Although, it's not necessarily academic achievements that are important. It's intellectual and educational wisdom that stands as a necessity. At least for me. 👍 I love a woman that can teach me things. 🤷‍♂️

But, yea. Correct, for the most part.

Not necessarily as much academic achievements as it is intellectual pursuits and curiosities 🤙

Exactly

It's going to vary person to person... Most of these I agree with, some not so much.

My honest take:

Sex drive is the last on the list, mine is low. Sense of humour, loyalty/commitment, and nurturing personality are far more important when looking for something serious.

Lots of social media followers are a massive red flag though. Same with designer wardrobe. From experience, these are sus.

Career and wealth can be a bonus, but not a dealbreaker..

Thanks for sharing! Love how people are willing to share and be open 😁🫶

❤️ Love this

Couldn't agree more with the social media follower aspect. They're usually the most selfish and have no genuine interest in getting to know you. Or maybe I just have bad taste in women. 😅🤷‍♂️

If she's devoting her energy to building her following, she's not for you, she's for "the fans".

True

🎯

"expert" = what this person wants

Good catch

Will say number 5 is important to me i dont mind mistakes at all being human and all but dont want the relationship to turn into a power game

Like how this photo is making people think & comment! Thank you 🫶

After giving it more than 5 seconds of thinking i am missing acceptance on this list,

Above all else i want me the person appreciated not me the potential idea

Well said

I would love her indipendence and career. I love to relate with indipendent people. Relationships has to be balanced.

True words!
