Not sure if I qualify as a "lady" hehe but here's some female input:

1. At least 5ft 10in - preferably, if not wheelchair-bound.
2. Good looking - by my personal standards
3. 12.5 stone - and the rest please!!
4. earns more than £30,000 - not bothered

15. Likes eating out - once in a while is nice
16. Has had fewer than six sexual partners - preferably
17. Owns a £300,000 home - no real interest

5. Blue eyes - A nice pair of baby blues is nice..but..again, not fussy!
6. Short dark-brown hair - not fussy.
7. Medium build - not fussy.
8. BA degree - I like intelligence..but...wouldn't be bothered if they had a degree or not!
9. Never been married - not bothered.
10. No children - not bothered.
11. Three previous serious relationships - Not bothered.
12. Clean-shaven - I prefer a bit of stubble
13. Drives sliver Mercedes - No! I hate mercs...ugh! Seriously though, not bothered.
14. Enjoys cinema - Yep
15. Likes eating out - Yep
16. Has had fewer than six sexual partners - Not bothered..nothing wrong with a bit of experience
17. Owns a £300,000 home - not bothered
18. Doesn't smoke - not bothered, but then I wouldn't be able to nick their ciggies!
19. Dislikes football - Generally...this puts me off a guy. I'm a footie fan myself..
20. Likes pets - Yep. But..not overly bothered!

any women that answers 'not bothered' to all 20 wins me

Just wanted to say......t'is me, RocketGirl.
As I hit "submit" I realised I'd forgotten to say so......and it's taken me this long to get back on the website! Not much has changed lately there then.....

I can honestly say not one of those bothers me at all ............ it's what inside that counts .............. oh and before you ask i am not joking .......... x

Well, it would be interesting to know who carried out this poll, and who was the 'cross-section' of women questioned?

Not 40,000 women from the little northamptonshire village where my dad lives, cuz the entire male population there earns £30,000 collectively, a 3 bedroom house is worth £80,000 and they'd be asking "what's a mercedes?"

And they can't be from certain areas of London, I don't believe 40,000 women set their sights so low.

On which planet did they poll these 40 000 women?

In reality, I pass on most of the things, the main exceptions being anything material (car, house, etc).

Some of these things are a bit silly though – e.g. weight; weight/height proportion comes into it too - if I was 12.5 stone at my height, I’d be grossly underweight

I’d also say that some of these criteria depend on the age of the man too – number 16, for example.
