The stereotypical male is on the hunt for a ditzy blonde with a supermodel’s figure. Luckily, that stereotypical guy doesn’t seem to exist in the real world. If you look beyond the male myth, you’ll find the answer to the age-old question “What do men really want?”Quick. What are guys looking for in a woman. Let me guess what the first notions to cross your mind were. You probably conjured up a mental image of a human Barbie doll: rail-thin, busty, blonde, a plastic and hollow head. Hey, that’s a reasonable conclusion to reach. After all, you’ve been told that’s what the guys are after for years from a variety of sources.
The problem with that thinking is that it’s just plain wrong. That isn’t how men think and if you get past the stereotypical image of a slobbering guy eyeing a blonde bimbo you’ll begin to understand what really attracts a man.
Let’s be honest. If you happen to have a Barbie physique you will get more attention than Plain Jane. Men might not be as shallow as we think, but they certainly aren’t immune to popular conceptions of beauty. However, you shouldn’t assume that attention translates into legitimate interest.
A recent poll of men performed by Grazia magazine discovered that the Barbie bod was not on the list of priorities for most guys. In fact, well over half of the men polled reported feeling more comfortable and interested in the proverbial girl next door than they would if they were out grocery shopping with a supermodel. Good looks attract stares, but they don’t equate to real attraction.
Essence magazine polled its readership and learned that guys were not as sex-driven as many people might think. Not only did they learn that hormones are only one part of the attraction factor, they also found that most guys really aren’t as excited about skinny gals as the popular media might lead one to believe. More than seventy-five percent of respondents said they liked a woman with some “meat on her bones.”
So, what do men really want? Well, the answer to that can be a little complicated. It’s certainly more complicated than the stereotypical image of the lumbering caveman many women have. Factors like family, career aspirations, religion, a smile, personality and host of other factors are all part of the love equation.
Time and time again, credible research and polling proves that guys aren’t on the lookout for a living breathing Barbie doll. They have more on their minds than “you know what.” If you to know what men want, you need to know who men really are. It might be convenient to carry that one-dimensional image of the average male around with you, but it certainly doesn’t help when it comes to finding a meaningful relationship.
