Good-looking but unaware of it: The contradictory boyfriend requirements of women

EVER feel women have impossible standards for boyfriends? You’re right. Here are some of their contradictory requirements that mean there’s zero chance of a shag.

Must be good-looking but in no way vain

Many women want a guy with conventional good looks (think: young Hayden Christensen) but who isn’t obsessed with clothes/moisturisers/his hair. Also he should not be aware that he can easily sleep around. Luckily the world is brimming with extremely good-looking men who’ve never encountered a reflective surface.

Must combine spontaneity and meticulous planning
For example: you should suggest a crazy, spur-of-the-moment weekend away, but also like planning holidays with Wehrmacht-style thoroughness so that literally nothing can go wrong. It’s such a contradictory mindset that if you tried to program a robot this way its brain circuits would catch fire and explode.

Must be amazing in bed but without a string of hot exes
Your partner’s exes can be a psychological pain in the arse. You particularly don’t like the thought of them having more fun together or much better sex. Therefore the perfect boyfriend should have no sexual history at all yet somehow be really good at sex, which is eerily similar to being a brand new ‘pleasure model’ replicant.

Must be hard but not get into fights
The ideal boyfriend needs to be harmless 99.9% of the time yet able to intimidate other men in a dodgy situation or to protect you. Unfortunately there’s a reason why some men are good at fighting: they practise a lot. If you go out with one prepare yourself for a thrilling rollercoaster ride of tense nightclub and kebab shop stand-offs.

Must be successful but not off-puttingly ambitious
Granted, careerist twats who say things like ‘failure isn’t in my vocabulary’ should be ground up in an industrial mincer. However there is a causal link – high-flyers are frequently massively into their tedious jobs. So as a man all you need to do is find a career combining a high salary with gentleness and humility. Have you tried applying for Archbishop of Canterbury?

Must have a great sense of humour within rigid parameters
Boyfriends should be able to deploy a range of humour from devastating wit to genuine belly laughs. But joking all the time is unattractive, and acting the clown is obviously out. Also beware of telling bad taste jokes that might offend your girlfriend in some obscure way. Fortunately your boyfriend mind reading skills should prevent that happening.

If you watch the ABC sometimes you get the feeling that what women want is other women. o_O
 
Didn't think I would have something new for this thread but here goes.

Perhaps there is yet some glimmer of hope for many ASF posters ...:cautious:

By the way the comments after the discussion are hilarious. Well worth chuckling over.:)

I fantasise about group sex with old, obese men

The idea of being passed around by these men turns me on, but I can't bring myself to tell my fiance. What made me this way?

I'm a slim, 31-year-old woman attracted to older, obese men – the uglier the better. I fantasise about being passed around by several of them. The thing that really turns me on is the idea of having to lift their stomachs and search for their penises, which are always difficult to find and a bit on the soft side.

I wouldn't worry too much. You're far more likely to get your fantasy fulfilled than I will mine - namely to be passed around and used by a bunch of nubile nymphomaniacs.

Crikey. Just give me a couple of weeks to get the required flab.

Don't have time to read all the comments at the moment, but has anyone else noticed Pamela says, "Consider searching for the root."?
Freudian slit?

"Freudian slit?"
I do hope that wasn't a clever pun.

Stick with the fiance and in 30 year's time your fantasy will probably come true.

Sounds like me
Patience is Everything as they say
The queue is long
 

“Who still dates” thread sums up the unintended consequences of these unrealistic expectations. I was extremely unsuccessful at getting a date in my twenties and thirties. Yes I was an ugly obnoxious Asperger’s Syndrome suffering JERK. Now I see blokes more than 10 to nearly 20 years younger than me, where they fit the bill of being a perfect man, financially secured, athletic, etc but they still can’t get partners. I guess saying “This is me and accept me as I am” won’t cut it. (It never did 😂)
 
Had to share this story. There may indeed be hope for the older generation who spend far too much time on ASF General Chat forums ( moi.)

It does get (even) more interesting so I suggest you read it all.

This is how we do it: ‘People often assume he’s my father when we’re out’

A pirate costume got things going. But six years later, pillow talk is Emily and Samuel’s magic ingredient

Emily, 32​

We’re never jealous of one another, and when we’re together it’s very cosy and tender

I’ve always been attracted to older men, I just didn’t expect that attraction to endure. As I get older, so do the men I’m drawn to. I like the gaps in Samuel’s smile from his missing teeth, but he’s embarrassed about them. I think it shows that he’s had a lot of fun in his life. Often when I am out with him, people assume he’s my father. His eyes are beautiful and they dilate when he looks at me.

Samuel’s brain operates quite uniquely, and perhaps his unselfconsciousness has something to do with his age. We met on a sex app, and the first time we hooked up he dressed up for me afterwards in a pirate costume.

He wasn’t trying to be sexy; he’s just into amateur theatre and he happened to have his outfit on him. It was such a bizarre thing to do: who has casual sex with someone and then immediately shows them their amateur dramatics costume? The confidence! I liked him immediately after that.

 
A salutary lesson for guys who think their partner is a bit "square" and that a swingers party would be just the ticket to livening up their sex lives.

My husband persuaded me to swing. I’m desperate to do it again, he’s not – what should I do?

Talking to your husband might be the trickiest bit, writes advice columnist Eleanor Gordon-Smith. It could help to find the fun in this together

My husband took many years to persuade me to go to a swingers club. I eventually said I would try it. I have a 60-year-old body but it’s OK and I wasn’t shy; I love nudist beaches, I just wasn’t sure I’d like having sex with other men. Well, when I got there, I was like a kid in a sweet shop! I felt desired and sexy!

My husband wasn’t so lucky and didn’t get to swing at all so was very disappointed. I’m desperate to do it all again but he’s not so keen. I can’t get that feeling of utter depravity, sexual delight and total satisfaction out of my head! What should I do?

 
As usual the really interesting parts of the above story are

1) The response from Elanor-Gordon Smith
2) The comments from readers.

Is this a true story or just a wind up ? Who knows. Having said that the comments from the gallery are eye opening. Clearly there are many different players who have been around a thousand blocks. I feel a bit vanilla..
