The average, ordinary Joe (health, wealth, looks) that feels good about himself and makes you feel good and/or proud of yourself, or the super sexy, good looking man who is – proud, arrogant, successful, wealthy, and temperamental.

They want the one they can’t have. Till they grow up. Then, I dunno.
Aren’t there a whole range of other choices? (And both of your picks are wealthy and good looking, I note.)
I meant to indicate that Joe isn’t a homeless crack head.
Not all sexy men are arrogant and temperamental.
They’d probably prefer someone like me. I’m like Mary Poppins – “practically perfect in every way”.
I would guess the one I see in the mirror each day.
He’s gorgeous!
Of course, not all sexy men are arrogant and temperamental, but there are some.
I guess it would be hard to be perceived as sexy if you were arrogant and temperamental all the time.
my initial response is that they all want me, but given that some have rather poor taste (i.e. – the few who don’t want me), i’m gonna have to venture that it depends on level of stupidity.
They would prefer one with big feet. Did I mention I have big feet?
@Mr_M is that the same as having a big Hummer and talking loudly, often uttering the term “bro” and “whatev’s”?
Yes, it’s the same as having a big Hummer. (What’s a Hummer?)
It’s not the size of your Hummer, it’s how you drive it.
I prefer nerds. Whether wealthy, dirt poor, into computers or cards or sci-fi or some wonderful combination thereof, that’s my kind of guy. To me nerds are the epitome of sexiness. :)
Could Mario Andretti handle a Hummer? i thought he drove a small, yet fast car…
I think I am going to begin acting like a nerd and learn to drive well!
@KatawaGrey , I have a pocket protector and a slide rule, too!
@Mr_M: Tee-hee! Bats eyelashes
Oh, I’ll put you in my fluther. ;)
I’ll even wear my penny loafers.
Scandalous!
Bring your Star Trek DVDs too…
@KatawaGrey and YOU take me “where no man has gone before” (OK, maybe a few men have been there).
@Mr_M: And they’ve all been nerds! ;)
Do all men want the same thing in a woman or the same kind of woman? All women do not want the same thing in a man either.
Good thing or those out in the cold outside the narrow realm of desirable would be very lonely.
@SeventhSense: So you don’t want to watch Next Generation with us?
@Marina: Great point! Lurve for a good answer.
“Next Generation”? Is THAT what they’re calling it now?
Yeah, I’m with Kat. Give me a goofy nerd over a man from a magazine any day.
My choice is “C”, intelligent, good sense of humor, can see when something needs fixing without being told and proactively does so. And likes my cooking.
I’m pretty sure that most women prefer men who are alive!
See, now, for ME, that’s not a factor.
@Mr_M: no really, you ought to try it. Living women are a hoot! (Plus, they are warmer, more intelligent, and just generally more fun [wink, wink]).
I would but these are bad economic times. Living women make me spend more!
Do you have any idea how LITTLE dead women eat?
@Mr_M: I can sympathize, dude, I really can. But, sometimes you just gotta suck it up, and take one for the team. I have no idea what that means! I think it’s supposed to be guy talk.
I guess I am narrow-minded and want the same thing in a women, whatever it may be.
i felt awkward reading this thread
Most women? I don’t know. I think all women really just want someone that truly loves them. Not a man they have to act like someone else in front of. I am completely honest with my husband, I can tell him anything. He doesn’t judge me. He loves me no matter what. That is what I hope most women would want. I don’t care about money, or having the nicest things…I knew going into my relationship with my husband that we would struggle. We are in this life together, no matter what.
Of the two stereotypes you mentioned, I’ll take the first every time. But I think you’re looking at things too narrowly.
Those which are faithful and honest!!!
One that doesn’t generalize about women.
then, I wonder why the majority of hollywood actresses are rarely hitched to an ordinary joe.
@Garebo I think you’re operating under the assumption that there are only 2 kinds of men. How do you know these actresses aren’t with good looking, rich men who also make them feel good about themselves?
@Garebo Hollywood actresses are surrounded by actors, singers, directors, etc. They rarely have the opprotunity to have lunch with a plumber, mechanic, or teacher. Also I would assume that actresses, like anyone else in the world, want to be with someone who understands and appreciates her lifestyle. As she most likely has her own money, I doubt that his income is a major concern.
I would think if I were a regulat women, I would want to be hitched up with the highly successful arrogant man because I would get lots of attention, and I would never have to worry about money. I could live my lifestyle I want, and if he didn’t like it, I could leave him and become more rich and famous.
@Garebo there’s the little problem of him wanting to be with you, too.
@Garebo Are you really saying you care more about attention and money than being with someone who treats you really well and who’s company you enjoy?
We have to make some assumptions.
@Garebo sure, we have to make some assumptions if you want to ask baseless hypothetical questions using examples of people you don’t know…
@Garebo: I don’t know whether you are baiting us or not. But arrogant men are usually too full of themselves to know how to be sweet and loving…and generally have terrible love relationships.
A lot of men that aren’t good looking are arrogant too, they like to brag about how much money they make and how only shallow people care about looks. I know a lot of guys who are mad at the world.
So I guess the bottom line is most people would rather be with someone who is nice and well mannered, regardless of their financial situation or physical presentation.
I say most people, but there will always be the 50 year old men who only date 21 year old blonde models, and there will always be women who think a mans muscles or wallet are most important.
Ok we now know; wealth and looks take a back seat to the compassionate man-hurray!
the first one! if there was just a choice between those 2, i’d have no problem going for the nice ‘average’ dude.
