What Men Want

I've had this theory going for a while, so tell me what you think...

People tend to like people like themselves. Thus, some women paint a picture of the ultimate 'sensitive guy' they'd like to meet: basically a man with women's sensibilities.

I'm wondering if one of the things that men find attractive in a woman is if she seems to find attractive/enjoyable in herself pretty much the same thing that a man would. A woman who likes wearing heels, form fitting clothes, makeup, etc sees as attractive in herself the same thing that a man sees as attractive in her, while a woman who prefers to wear her pajamas to class in college simply likes being comfortable. Now, when you get down to it, most men also prefer being comfortable, so the woman who prefers her everyday grunge-around clothes actually thinks about herself more like a man thinks about himself. But the woman who likes to dress sexily thinks about herself the way a man thinks about women.

Of course, people who find themselves incredibly attractive are often somewhat self absorbed people. Which might explain why liking women who find themselves attractive can get you hooked up with some rather unfortunate personalities.

And perhaps the preference for women who find attractive what men find attractive explains the peculiar fascination of some men with things like this.

Discuss. Throwing things and quarrelling is encouraged.
