Most, not all, want the perfect woman physically but they don't seem to see their own shortcomings in the mirror?? Is it because it's all about the visual for men?

I think women want someone they can bring home to mom...someone who will take care of them and treat them right. Guys on the other hand want someone they can point out to their friends (even if it doesn't work out) and say "I was with her..."

You know this may be true but I think there is also a counter argument to be made. I have asked questions here and from my experience with them and on personals websites etc., women can often be just as shallow as men are. I had always hoped it was different but as I turn 40 and realize that my body is the body of a 40 year old man - not ugly, just 40. As a result, I suffer from far less female attention.
What we want in life and what we get are vastly different things. Mr. beer gut may be lusting for that 23 yo co-ed but do you think he has a chance even if he is the nicest man in the world?
Frankly the only women I am interested in are women that can see beyond the basic and in doing so I promise to practice the same with them. If you want to spend a lot of time with a person there has to be a whole lot more behind it then just a visceral attraction to their body.

I think most Men see their shortcomings in the mirror and understand that we need to do work as well to keep in shape. My gf and I talked about this subject a while ago and we agreed that for women, it's more important for emotional needs to be met and men are visual. For example...lingerie is made for women, right?
The men that don't accept that they need to do work as well to keep themselves attractive for their gf/wife are selfish and you don't want to be with them.
(Not to mention that exercise also improves performance in the Bedroom.)
I think you'll also find that most men - such as myself - have no interest in "Barbie". I prefer real...not fake and I know a number of guys that would rather have their gf/wife have a B cup that's real than a D cup that's fake.

Yep, the visual. However, in my advancing years, I must admit, I'm getting away from the barbie thing. It seems as though the more physically attractive a woman is the higher maintenance she is. And I'm just getting to old to want the drama. My ex wife was a Barbie.

Amen. So many men are walking around picking out the flaws of women and seems they never stopped to look in the mirror. They want way more than they have to give. I also think men have a distorted view of themselves. They all think they look like god standing naked in the mirror. Its funny.

I don't think that's true at all. Most of the men I know at my age that have been in relationships in a successful way are quite happy with their spouse. I think it's the loud mouth jerks who're not comfortable with themselves that give us all a bad rap. Personally, I've never met a man who found the "Barbie" look attractive. Most of those women are high maintenance and scary.

We are very visual, true. But honestly, I believe you may be running into the shallow end of the "guy pool". Believe it or not, there are those of us out here that don't place quite as much importance on physical attributes. As one who had a beauty contest winner fiance' for several years, I can tell you this, when all is said and done, physical beauty fades, spiritual beauty does not.

Personally, I don't agree. I am not looking for Barbie. I am looking for someone with a loving and caring soul who will accept me as I am and know that I accept them as they are, but then again I am not like most men.

Because men love with their eyes, women with their hearts!!!! No, it's because women know that true beauty is found within. Beauty may attract the man, but an ugly soul will soon send him running.
