Meet 'The Perfect Man'

[sjr09 155]

According to the poll by Austin Reed, the perfect man earns about $77K a year, drinks beer and drives an Audi.

Women also want men to have stylish clothes, a good body and a clean-shaven face. In fact, in the survey of 2,000 women, they list those qualities as a "must." The hipster beards just aren't cutting it anymore.

The perfect guy also can swim, rides a bike, and makes family his top priority.

According to The Huffington Post, a spokesperson for Austin Reed said:

"It would seem that women have high expectations when it comes to the perfect man. How a man is presented is obviously going to be a huge part of that. While women don't want a man to be too preened, they would like him to be stylish and up to date with current trends."

And we're not even done yet. Women also prefer men to be 6 feet tall with short, dark hair and brown eyes. Can we be any more specific? Yes, we can. He must also be a carnivore.

Eighty-six percent of women polled say they want a sensitive man who calls his mom regularly and cries during movies. "I can go with calling your mom regularly, but cries during movies"

Here's a full list of qualities the perfect man apparently possesses:

Wears smart jeans, shirt and a V-neck jumper?

I'd pass on that too but it's easier to adjust a man's wardrobe than his drinking habits

Hmm, only 11 of those would be on my list (and my husband meets 9 of those 11 so I guess they aren't absolutes - but he does meet some of those that aren't on my list from the above )

So you wish to control him.

A girl once told me, "Don't beat me, don't cheat on me, and take me on a vacation with you once a year," si man.

LOL. No I would never want to be with a man I could control. That's not attractive to me. However, I've always been asked my opinion on outfits and shopping as far as wardrobe was concerned. Women are just better at that than men.

So whereas I would pass on a man who I suspected was an alcoholic or had the potential to be, I would never write a man off just because I didn't like his taste in clothes.

Even if you've both established the "safety word"?
