... issues and tissues with a touch of the spicy from the spirit hag ...
(... don't shoot the messenger)

i know what boys like. i do. because they tell me. i am forever hearing about this mythical "perfect woman" ... this elusive "miss right" ... (ahem. make that ms.) ... that my male friends claim to be unable to find.

so i quizzed them until i came up with a list. and to my amazement, not only did they agree on almost everything, this "perfect woman" seems to involve a lot more of words like "understanding" and "secure", and a lot less of "perfect ass" than i expected.

although some of this may still sound kind of horrid and sexist, it is all honest, and not nearly as awful as it might have been, so i have left it as is. yucky bits included.

so, on behalf of (at least) 4 eligible, intelligent, much-loved and dearly respected male friends of mine, i give you ...


"the perfect woman"


1. she's healthy: healthy weight, healthy body, healthy mind. no bullshit like starving yourself or obsessive unfounded jealousy.


2. she's secure: no man likes an egomaniac, but neither can they value a woman who doesn't value herself.


3. she's herself: it's great to have things in common, but taking on all sorts of new stuff just to impress a man is guaranteed to do the exact opposite.


4. she's independent: she's happy to maintain her own friends and add a man to her life, not make him the purpose of it.


5. she's honest: if you expect to get the truth, you should give it.


6. she's realistic: no princesses or daddy's little girls' need apply. no man is interested in living up to a preconceived ideal.


7. she's smart: (exactly how smart is relative to the guy himself), but the days of the trophy bimbo are so over.


8. she's a woman: she wears her female aura with pride and is not ashamed to be a woman.


9. she's sensual: attitude wins over experience hands down in the bedroom and everywhere else.


10. she's a little wild: just in private, just for him.



so, there you have it. and remember ... please don't kill me ... i was only following orders ... so, are they right ? ... feedback would be adored

re: self-deprecation

even the most self-confident of women can have a tendency to self-deprecate in fishing for compliments... they know they are slender, yet the complain "i'm fat!" or they know they're intelligent but they put on the ditz.... who knows why they do it, maybe it's a matter of thinking you're all good but not wanting to seem vain.

God help us perfect women!

Dumbass...er...I mean Smartaz!


See! I told you all anyone ever gets out of that is smartass!!

i assumed that you meant you found them "sweet" ... but not sweet enough to consider ahem, involving yourself with


I must admit I am tempted. But I think in the long run it would drive me insane. On Wheel of Fortune tonight they had a "clue puzzle" that was something like "I am a Roman god and the closest planet to the sun" which the contestant was supposed to identify for a bonus prize. One of her guesses was "the moon?" (pause to let that sink in -- and continue) I didn't realize the moon had been reclassified as a planet.... She was a college student, yet -- going for a Masters degree! OMG. This is why I'm not particularly impressed when someone starts bragging about how smart they are and using their Bachelors degree as proof.
