Like I said, philosophical question. I probably have 8 out of 10. Just saying, not everyone has these qualities and not everyone can easily change them.
Lists like this just make me wonder "well, ok, what do you do if you're not like this?".
Yeah, of course, if you wanted a job, you sure as hell wouldn't do something you're bad at. Everyone's good at SOMETHING. But if everyone had to be a mechanic, I guarantee you as hard as people try, not everyone could be a good mechanic.

In my experience, 1 and 2 were accurate; 3 was intended to be a joke. I agree with the second poster. Miss, I wish that I knew you, because the women whom I have known over the years have borne out what posters 1 and 2 said. I don't know what women tell each other, but my experience across the table from them agrees with what was said. If you're different here, that says good things about you. Maybe you're actually a lady. You'd be surprised how few actual ladies there are out here. (I'm aware how few gentlemen there are out here, but the only man I can really influence romantically is myself. And I do.) If you're different here, that says good things about you. Men like your style, if you can live up to it.

Give yourself some credit -- you're only one-third kidding.
The writer of the article obviously hasn't been reading these forums much or maybe doesn't get out enough. The top two descriptors most women use are a man's physical attractiveness (cute, hot, good looking) and money related (good job, successful career, owns his own business). Everything else in the article is just a little gravy.
Well posted to both of you guys. Some of EH article writers, live in fantasyland. But that's what happens when those who really can’t do, teach, and become book oriented experts behind a desk formulating scenarios that don‘t work in the real world. And I'm often flabbergasted at some of the females posters who respond to certain articles and give the text book answers they give that have absolutely no direct correlation between the way women really act and behave in the real world under the same circumstances. It cracks me up because I know, based on years of experience, only a very tiny fraction of them actually feel that “Alice in Wonderland,” way. The rest are one thong and high heels away from swinging on a pole for a dollar.
I am playa born and bred and I've dated more women when I was in my teens then most guys will date in their whole life. I have no illusions about woman whatsoever and what they want and how they really behave with a man. That is why I’m so successful with them. I know and read them constantly. A man's money is #1 at the top of that list. They are attracted to money and power…because in most cases, there are exceptions, they have neither. Looks is not all that important to them. If he' happens to be hot and will give them the time of day and his money, then that’s the mash potatoes that go with that meal. Everything else beyond that is gravy poured on. I have no problems with a woman wanting a man’s money, and if he’s stupid enough to be conned out of it for sex, that’s his problem. But a woman will never get a dime of mine. I'm too smart for that.
Sorry, but I'm allergic to wives, ex-wives and their greedy lawyers, baby moma' drama, alimony/ child support payments and being broke. Any one of these, or all of these, gives me a really bad bumps all over my body and I get an awful rash around my genital area like I‘ve been attacked by bees down there. It has never happen, but that’s what I envision will happen to me. I had a dream once I had gotten married and then divorced. And it scared the hell out me. Worst dam nightmare I ever had. It was so vivid and real.

From girls I've talked with the list is accurate. Unfortunately I've got some things to work on.
What kinds of things count as a talent to a woman anyway? I have the capability to be talented but tend to dabble in a lot of things rather than get really good at a handful of things.
I can be funny, but it doesn't come out enough. I'm too boring most of the time, as I'm not much of a talker, especially around people I don't know real well.
Umm....I don't think you are clearly seeing this guy for who he is. He has been with two women at all times...
