“She walks into the room and my heart flutters, butterflies
flap their beautiful wings in both our bellies “Ah, the idealistic
dream of beauty and intelligence, charm and wit, sugar and spice and
everything nice. In my 33rd year of life and I still am unsure of
what my “perfect woman” would be.
It is safe to say that she would have more than a passing interest in
the arts, both visual and literary. That strange mixture of
career-minded and family-oriented woman would surely be present. A
brisk confidence in everything she does, but not to the point of
arrogance.
She would at the very least tolerate my filthy habit of
smoking cigarettes and, preferably, not imbibe in too much alcohol.
An openness to political and theological debate are grand, as long as
neither is taken too seriously.
The mystery of physical attraction is too great to boil down here; it
is not the sum of the parts but rather the whole package that seals
this deal. There must, certainly, be a physical spark between us, but
there are no guiding lights as to what causes this.
My “perfect woman” is all the above and yet she must remain true to
herself. Change is an inevitable part of life, but I’d prefer if she
didn’t do it solely for me.

Dear Seele-brendt, thank you for your participation!
Your Perfect Woman sounds well rounded and tolerant.

FROM TRUE NATURE: A THEORY OF SEXUAL ATTRACTION - BOOK REVIEW:
//findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2372/is_3_38/ai_82013898
In True Nature, Michael Kauth seeks to provide an “interdisciplinary interactionist theory of sexual attraction that accounts for the interlocking sequence of biological and psychosocial developmental events, as well as the powerful influence of cultural beliefs, social practices, and institutions” (p. 5). The theory is thus designed to address both the ultimate and the proximate causes–the why and how, respectively–of sexual attractions. The first concerns the evolutionary roots of our species’ sexual attractions; the second, the biological and psychosocial developmental roots of our individual sexual attractions.

I’m not sure I can control whether or not there is a “physical spark.”
Thank you and good luck,

It would be impossible to control if there is a physical spark, an attraction; some things can’t be altered, they are merely inherent chemical reactions.
I might mention that I prefer redheads, but changing your hair color can not make your scent make me feel at home.
While I certainly appreciate the experiment you are conducting, there is no possibly way to completely fulfill the ideal. Which is, why, I’m actually curious to see the outcome. I have a feeling that the “winner” may not find his “perfect woman” quite as perfect as he thought — a simple list does not a “perfect woman” make.

The outcome is on the way… voting starts February 14th and ends February 21st! Then I’ll begin my transformation and try “to completely fulfill the ideal” (with greater or lesser success…)
Stay tuned,
