David Aaronovitch comments on the latest survey on What Women Want (ostensible result: ersatz soft-focus romancin' with an assortment of film and tv characters.)
Quite properly pronouncing it to be "nonsense," he produces his own list, based on "several decades of mostly observational experience," of what women "really go for." (It's at the bottom of this column on British attitudes towards sex and the Anglican position on gay marriage.)
I've never noticed #10, nor #6 (which seems particularly off the wall-- unless there's some euphemism at work here that I'm not aware of.) Perhaps #8 (and almost certainly #9) should be moved up the list a bit, and #7 moved down. Otherwise, it seems about right.
Of the top five, #1 presupposes #2, yet virtually rules out #4 and #5. #3 is the least restrictive with regard to the others, the least numerous, and the least feasible. It's a funny old world.
