Hi women, I am trying to rebuild my entire life and I would like to know what you would like in a perfect guy. From financial responsibilty to whatever you feel he should be or have. I could use all of the input you can give me from the other side. Thanks for the help, Glenn

Hi Glenn,

Rebuilding areas you feel could use improvement is an honorable endeavor, and I applaud you for that.

I wonder why you're asking a broad spectrum of women what we think the perfect man would be? It usually works better if you find someone you're quite interested in, and ask that person.

Would you consider asking a broad spectrum of people what makes the perfect dish (or meal)? Or what makes the perfect car? The answers are going to vary greatly, and what is applicable in one situation may not be applicable in another.

That said, I'd list:
intelligence
humor
good hygiene
similar leisure interests

Well, I'm not "women", but I have 2 ask you a 2ple of 2uestions:

1: Can you tell us a little more about you, how you got 2 where you are in your thinking?

2: If you're trying 2 rebuild your life, why not start by figuring out what is valuable 2 you? Integrity? Honesty? Empathy? What makes you happy? If you can find happiness within, you will become attractive 2 "women" without even realizing when the change occurred.

Isn’t that a bit like asking, “what is your favorite food”?
Ask a hundred people and you’ll probably get 50 different answers and it won’t help you with anything except deciding that everyone is different.

Everyone is going to want something different so this is not gonna help much, which is why Dr Harley developed the "Emotional Needs" questionnaires. So you can figure out what YOUR partners needs are and how the partner WANTS you to to meet those needs.
