Quote from AlpineTrout:
I've found this to be very true. However, I think it mostly has to do with a women's daily routine when she's in her 30's, 40's & beyond. All women's bodies (and men's) go to hell if they don't do some kind of exercise (aerobics, weights, yoga, etc.). I do see some women in their 40's that look better than alot of women in their 20's. Even if a women's thin, if they don't workout, they tend to have a really saggy out of shape look to them. Asian women really have this problem.

You make some great points, but Iâd like to make several adjustments. Iâm only speaking for myself and am not generalizing for all females. Please be advised that these are merely preferences and not The Commandments of Annaland.
Avoid men who talk to your chest. A quick and very occasional glance never hurt anyone.
Donât avoid traders, avoid traders who cannot manage their money <b>and</b> use trading as their main source of income.
Motorcycles are only ok if youâre fit and hot. Nothing attractive about a fat dude thinking heâs a rough rider.
No tattoos of mom, a cross, wires, Asian characters. You know what, no tattoos at all please.
Baldness, itâs ok if youâre losing hair - do shave your head, no comb-overs of any shape, form or size.
Big muscles are attractive but are likely making up for smaller other parts. Fit is good. Slightly chubby can be cute but fine line between slightly chubby and fat - nothing cute about worrying whether your significant other is going to have a heart attack every time he goes up the stairs
Intelligent and opinionated but does not force his ideas or beliefs onto others.
Can hold his argument, bargain and convince. Nothing sexier than a man who speaks with confidence, NOT ARROGANCE or belittlement.
Adventurous, creative and likes to be on the go. Itâs ok to work a lot but then the other time should be time well spent and not time well spent on the couch.
Chest hair, more hair is better than no hair but no one wants a year round sweater vest.
Kind, funny and GENUINE.
I also prefer men whose parents were not divorced and grew up with reliable female and male influences.

Nice list, but there was a scientific study I read the other day which would contradict your entire thesis.
It basically said that women will state all manner of things about what kind of man they are looking for, but when it comes down to what they actually end up with, it comes down to money. Women try to get the guys with the most money that they feel their own "attractiveness" will obtain. At least that's what happens on average. Sorry I don't have a link, but the study was just publicized about a week ago.![]()
