Whatever.

Some women find a mono-optical man to be quite the catch.

I haven't actually met any of those women...
but I'm sure they're out there.

They're probably right on the edge of my peripheral vision, and I just can't spot them.

: )

Thanks Tintin.

Why can't I get compliments like that from women???
I once said there's something wrong with you, and i repeatedly imply that you are crazy... :rolleyes:

I guess something more goober-ish counts as a compliment XD

One-eyed men ARE quite a catch, alright ;)

I actually reserved a space on my wall to mount one on :rolleyes:

Your statement is not entirely true. While yes this is true men do want these things from a Christian woman, that's not all all men want. There are other things I look for in a woman outside of what you said. Not superficial things, but things that have to do with who they are as a person. I think this was a rather foolish statement that these things are the only things men want and you making it seem like as long as shes a loyal bible believing Christian that likes him, that's all he wants. I look for things like strength, wisdom, amongst other things. I don't want a weak woman. Not physically but Id like a woman with a strong mind. I don't want a woman that's overly emotionally driven, or a woman that will crack under pressure. I want a woman that's 100 percent real. Different men are looking for different things, and just because you have no standards outsid of a woman that likes you and is a Christian, don't think every other man is like this.

You assume too much sir but I see how you could have read it that way, I could have worded the OP better. I was more aiming at core qualities we could all agree on but perhaps I failed even in that. Obviously everyone has their own specific tastes and wants.....Like Liamson has a thing about women that buck social trends for example.....that's not in the list but he finds that attractive. Trying to make a post about what everyone finds attractive and what absolutely everyone values in another's personality is impossible. I didn't think there was any need to point out the obviousness of that.

Jules thread asked for someone to PRAYERFULLY make a post about this, so I'm answering for all the guys.
All a man could ever want in a Christian woman is this:

1. She loves God, and puts God before everything and everyone else. This is not a cliche or the "expected" answer given just because it's an "acceptable" one. She sincerely has to want to please God with all her heart and all her mind.

2. She must sincerely want to be with you. She loves you, wants to spend ALOT of time with you, and is willing to put effort into showing you that she means it.

3. Can be trusted to be loyal, faithful, and isn't interested in the games "secular" women play. Is willing to be honest and work through any problems you may have as a couple.

That's all that any man wants. It may not be a complicated list but it definitely isn't easy to find in a woman. If it were, there wouldn't be any non-married males in the singles forum at all (Except for maybe myself.....and the other one or two of us that have given up on marriage).
Can be trusted to be loyal, faithful, and isn't interested in the games "secular" women play. Is willing to be honest and work through any problems you may have as a couple.

Every watch the news, dateline etc, non-secular women are as bad or worse, head games , lying etc..try reading or watching the news there friend! Non secular does not define christian behaviour

So..you would have no qualms dating lets say the world's ugliest man as long as he was a good christian? Really? REALLY? Also I like how it's "Man's" standard as if we are all some hivemind of a gender and we have all agreed that only one type of woman is attractive. Yet meanwhile you honestly have no earthly idea what I consider attractive. Instead your just going with the stereotypical rant in this case. Yes all these dozens of women are single ONLY because of their looks there could not be possibly anything else wrong with them could there? like maybe a super-defensive bitter attitude anytime someone mentions looks?
Hey buddy, while it would be difficult to overlook the world's ugliest woman. I'd consider her.

When I look for women... I do my best to not care a bit about her appearance... That means her weight, "beauty," race, height, I try not to care. Actually, height is something I may sometimes care about since most women don't want a shorter guy. So, in theory its a lot more efficient for me to overlook taller women. Women can be superficial too.

Also, attraction can be helped. It can be helped by guidance. What I mean is that I can find a non-Christian girl attractive both physically and personality-wise and guess what?! I can choose NOT to pursue her. The same can be said about attractive Christian girls. However, this would only be applied to physical attraction which is like dirt in comparison to inner beauty... Even though I find physically attractive Christian women, I can choose to choose a spiritually attractive woman instead with blind eyes. (blind eyes meaning she can be ugly or beautiful on the outside)
[h=3]Proverbs 31:30[/h]

[SUP]30 [/SUP]Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

I don't think anyone is arguing against dating attractive people. Appearance and character are not inversely related. I think the discussion is about whether men should open that pool of potential dates to those who don't fit the most rigid standards of attraction. To consider being a little more open-minded. Again, it's not binary. It's not either/or. Just a request to consider being a little more inclusive.
People may not say this directly. But if the prevalent attitude is that 'liking good looking people is shallow' that essentially ends up being the message. 'Attractive' people are already demonized to a degree by many. When you look at someone who is attractive by general standards with another people, a woman for example, people don't generally think 'oh wow, she is so pretty, she must be such a wonderful person'. Most people think 'oh yeah, shes hot, we know why he picked her'. Which is, in essence, assuming she has nothing to offer him but eye candy and hes shallow for being with her.

I will be the first chick to admit (well maybe not, but i can't be bothered to read EVERY post...lol) looks matter to me and i don't believe it doesn't matter to any other woman out there.:p That said, the assumption when someone says that is that they are claiming to desire the social/cultural ideal of beauty/handsomeness in another individual but thats not necessarily the case. What attracts me...what IIII find handsome isn't necessarily in line with what others consider attractive. If i were to say i prefer a podgier guy and that i'm not attracted to the built "greek adonis" look, am i still shallow? Or does that really only depend on the nature of my preference rather than the fact that i have one at all.
Yes, you'd still be shallow... It is an individual thing and you'd still be shallow for preferring chubbier guys. The bad thing is that your appearance focused. Why is it bad? Because its bad judgment in choosing someone.

The emotional responses to male posters commenting on looks is a perfect example of how NOT to be (keep in mind that I am talking about once in a relationship, not in a chatboard debate). You may think, "What does he risk by stating that?" For stating his preference, he risks getting judged as being shallow. When you argue that his position is shallow, you invalidate that his opinions and preferences actually matter. I'm not going to go back and double check, but I don't recall anyone stating that they are insisting on supermodel looks or "Hollywood beautiful" as a standard. Looks are important, yes, but it's not the only thing. And I've seen enough posts here to see that different looks are attractive to different people.
Looks are not important. A lot of men think they are important but they are not.

(sigh) smh... I think I should start a revolutionary movement or something for our men's sake.

I think you went on a tangent off her post. In that particular post she was just saying that men shouldn't put such a heavy importance on looks and consider dating women who are not as attractive as one might think.
