Here are some statistics for the "average" man and woman.
Actually several statistics...

- The average man
- What men want to be
- What men think women want
- What women actually want

And

- The average woman
- What women want to be
- What women think men want
- What women actually want

Interesting, I'm not big into brown eyes, but that seems to be what the average man and woman have.

I also can't beleive women want a hairy chest... I bet that has changed since that poll, because it's dated 1988, no?

Yeah, I would guess there have been some changes since 1988.
I find it interesting that the average women thinks that 5'4" is the ideal height; you would think that they would pick 5'6" or so.

Yeah I wouldn't think they would want to be too short.

Quite interesting. I'd probably fall between the average women/what women want to be, except unfortunately, I have an ass the size of Oklahoma. Everyone besides me seems to find that wonderful. I want a butt-reduction.

:lol:
No, just looking through old things I've saved. That height article was from one of those tabloid papers (Enquirer or Globe, one of those).
As you can see, I save everything!

Yet more proof that I save everything...
This is a Sears catalog from 1975.

It's fun to do if you have the storage space.

You can tell that the catalog is from 1975. Look at the boys' pants! :eek:

Very interesting... I suspect things have changed from 17 years ago... but it's still interesting.

I'm 6'1" and about 130 lbs... very skinny. :lol:

Can you imagine a teenage boy today wearing pants like those! :lol:

Well like I've said, better skinny than fat.
I remember another poll... women were asked what they think is the most impressive physical feature of a man. The most popular answer...
A flat stomach. Makes sense; beer bellies don't look very attractive.

Well... my grandpa was like this when he joined the Air Force at 17(49 years ago! :eek: ) and now he's over 200 lbs... so I don't know what I'll be like down the road.

I was shocked by that one too... :eek: I'm pretty sure that is not true now.

I'd like to see a new survey like that made today to see how things have changed.

LOL! They'd never make it these days... :lol: I actually saw one or two boys back in middle school wear strange things like that.

You're right... they would probably be laughed out of school!

Not in extreme cases. I find anorexic-looking people worse looking than anybody obese I've ever seen.

lol...yep, that's me, average woman. Fat, white, and flawed. :lol:

No wonder I'm single. I'm not close to what Men Actually Want. Damn them all.

:lol: What men think that women want in a man made me laugh. From the picture, it was scary. I prefer blue or green eyes on a guy though, not brown.

thats really interesting.
i wish they'd do an updated survey like that, it would be really telling to compare the two.



and apparently no one wants greenish-hazel eyes. :( ;)

Yeah, you would think there is some kind of equivalant survey done recently.

And, I don't know about eyes, but it's a pretty good guess that nobody wants greenish-hazel skin. ;)
