If you ask a girl what qualities she wants in a man, there are always three adjectives that probably come to her mind. The man should be reliable, kind, and good-looking. Not necessarily those three exact words, but derivatives of these words invariably spew forth from her mouth. Are these reactions to all of the unreliable, scummy, and ugly gentlemen that have briefly entered and promptly exited her life? Or are these the qualities that society has deemed worthy of a woman wanting?

If a man is asked what qualities he wants in a woman, beauty tops the list, almost to the exception of every other possible attribute. Now, the argument can be made that beauty encompasses many different attributes, many of which have worth beyond that which is god-given. For example, if someone says that beauty can include a woman’s personality. This is the argument that I would make, if pressured to answer the question of “What do you look for in a woman?” Knowing that I also know that men really are so superficial that when you ask them this, and they answer “beauty,” they mean the “oh-my-god-look-at-her tits/ass/body/erect-nipples,” completely subjective aesthetic that is written about in the 17^th century poems of many a unrequited lover.

To a great extent, men want love at first sight. I can’t exactly say what women want, except to say that they like attention that is worthwhile. I’ve never known a man who “grew to love” his unbecoming partner, yet that seems to be the case with many women. Or is this, yet again, some idea that society has implanted into my cerebrum via such revolutionary inventions as the radio, television, literature, cinematics, or the internet.

I suppose in a successful self-help book the above statement is made without any sort of doubt, whatsoever, perhaps citing the inspiration of such indisputable, modern must reads as the Baghavadgita, the Bible, the Tao te Ching, or other sufficiently impressive cultural masterpiece. What if porn was referred to in that manner? The Playboy, the Hustler, the Nugget. As stated in the Playboy, you can get a woman to fuck you in under five minutes. I can hardly believe that someone would quote the Playboy, let alone read the Playboy. I think I may have read one article in the Playboy in my entire life (the one above, actually). Who am I kidding? As stated in the Playboy, if you airbrush any woman long enough, they will appear beautiful.
