What do girls look for in a guy....

No matter how much they refuse to admit it, girls really do care what a guy looks like. I've met many girls who simply say they're looking for a nice guy who is intelligent, patient, employed, and funny. Well if their requirements were that simple, they should already be happily married with kids. There are literally millions, or rather billions, of guys who fit this vague description. It is not hard to find a guy who fits this description. The truth is that girls vocally express only the tip of the iceberg when they describe their ideal man.

Sadly, girls refuse to admit that they are generally looking for a good looking guy. There are many different faces that girls may prefer, anything from the clean shaven to the rough and rugged. An unofficial consensus of women would agree that they like tall guys. Generally, a guy over six feet tall is preferred. However, I have never met, encountered or even heard of a girl who's looking for a short stocky guy who meets. I read personal ads just for the fun of it. Girls generally post the following (from Craigslist):

"Click away if you're not gay, ugly, and/or short. - 21 (concord / pleasant hill / martinez)"

"I am looking for someone at 5'10' or above who is college educated and more or less height-weight proportional."

"I am looking for a guy with bad boy good looks (yes good looking is a must), tall (at least 6'ft) and with a good sence of humor. "

(from an Asian-hating Asian woman)
" I am selective with men. But hey, if you're a 250lb 40 yr old and want a hot stud/babe, that's not reasonable.. I'm reasonable! I'm attracted to caucasion/european guys.. sorry! no asians (long story). People who are energetic, creative, spontaneous, kind, intelligent, down to earth are those I'm attracted to."

(from another Asian-hating Asian woman)
"i need a white man , not asian or blacks. this is only preference and i am not racist"


Okay, I think you get this picture. I've even asked some girls if they think a guy's face is less important as long as he is very tall. One girl admitted that a guy's facial features were inversely related to his height. In other words, the taller a guy is, the less important his height is to his physical attractiveness. On the other hand, the shorter a guy is, the more his facial appearance mattered to a girl. Weird. I guess.

I'm often irked by the extreme necessity for height. Some girls reject all guys below six feet tall. Hey, that's lot of us! It's almost as if any man below six feet tall is inferior in personal characteristics as well as physical. What difference does it matter if a guy is taller or shorter? Does being over six feet tall make a guy more sensitive? More intelligent? Funnier? Kinder? Richer? Well, I would have to say yes because so many girls seem to think height is the key to everything.

Funny thing, girls don't like to be judged by their looks. Who ever thought guys liked it? Whenever I see a girl posting an ad that requires that a guy must be over six feet tall, white, etc, I post the following:

"I require a female to have breasts of at least 36DD, little ittie bittie titties need not apply."

Of course this is facetious. No girl would respond to such an ad and gladly qualify herself as a potential mate for me. I'm never going to get a date if I keep posting these kinds of requirements. But that's how I feel when girls post a stupid height requirement or when an Asian female rejects all non-white males. For that matter, Asian women who refuse to date Asian males are racist!

I can't help you (Asian women) if you hate your fathers. Actually, I'm quite a sensitive guy. I'm a good listener. I'm awesome with babies and children. I'm a good teacher with kids of all ages. I'm funny enough to do stand-up comedy (which I've done). I look good enough to be on TV in front of millions (which I've done). I'm a good cook. I'm a good singer and can serenade while playing the guitar. I'm an awesome dancer and can sweep away any girl in any form of dance. I have plenty of qualities to offer the right girl. Oh by the way, I'm also a Harvard alum. In fact, I think I'm quite the treasure that many girls ignore. But of course, I'm not over six feet tall. Heck, I'm even a rich guy (I'm a Semi-Googlionaire... figure that out if you don't know what that means).

Sad to say, most girls don't give me a chance. I know I'm more interesting than most guys. I have more to say, more entertaining characteristics, and stories to tell. But most girls don't scratch beyond the surface. Most girls are too caught up with the ridiculous idea of six feet tall.

If I could figure out what it would take to find perfect girl, I would be a little happier. But the truth is, I think girls need to wake up and realize that they're missing the best guy when they don't even give me a chance to talk with them.
