What Makes The Ideal Man?
Are you looking for the Ideal Man? While my book "the Ultimate Online Dating Handbook" will show you how to get him, have you ever wondered what the Ideal Man would be like? How should he spend his spare time, should he like sports, or shopping? Manicures or electronics? Well, in an online survey, The Harris Poll and Dodge Dakota asked 2,131 U.S. adults aged 18 and over to describe the Ideal Man. 1,003 of the participants were men while 1,128 where women. Here are some of the questions they were asked, and what the survey concluded. Q: What are the Ideal man's characteristics? Dependability: 92% of women want their man to be dependable - someone she can count on at all times. Easy Going: 90% of women say their Ideal Man is a regular, capable, laid-back kind of guy. Humor: 88% of women surveyed said they want a man who will make them laugh. Fashion Conscious: Only 5% still want their man to be a hip fashion conscious "metrosexual" male. Q: How should a man spend his free time? Home Repairs: 72% of women want a guy who will spend his free time doing jobs around the house. Sports: 41% want their guy to be a sports fan. Shopping: Only 10% of women would like their guy to spend his free time shopping for clothes.

You know those soft manicured hands, well 61% of women preferred a man with rough, hard-working hands to only 39% wanting well manicured hands. Also, 47% of surveyed women prefer their man to spend his money on electrical gadgets, and not cosmetics. And, 45% want a man who spend his money on his car/truck.
