Amen Brother Starrman!
Hey bub, if you just add variants of the above description of the most desirable traits in an ultimate male wish list, no more needs to be said.
A penchant for self harm i could definitly live without, but would make her more malliable through returned love by me. We all have our crosses to bear.
Happy hunting bub!

here you go, now you don't have to read the book.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Men_Are_from_Mars%2C_Women_Are_from_Venus

"According to Gray, a woman relieves stress by talking about it, which the man may interpret as an accusation or request for a solution. In terms of woman (or Venusian language) it is just sharing a problem which she wants to be acknowledged. The man on the other hand has a basic instinct to give a solution because Martians (that is, men) do not discuss a problem unless they want a solution.

This can become a bone of contention between a husband and wife because he jumps in with his answer and she interprets this as an undue interruption and makes her feel as if she's not being listened to. The author suggests that this conflict can be avoided if the man understands this situation and silently listens rather than offer a solution. Once she has been heard she will become de-stressed and normalized.

On the other hand, just listening to a man will be similarly frustrating for him, because he's asking for your advice, not your sympathy. The woman needs to understand this and offer practical advice rather than just being sympathetic.

it drives me nuts when this happens.

"Point System

Gray suggests that while a man might count a $200 item as 20 points and a $10 item as 1 point, women count each item as 1 point. The emotional stroke delivered by the sincere attention is as important as the value of the item. This can lead to conflict when a man thinks he has earned 20 points and deserves appropriate recognition while the female has only given him 1 point and recognizes him accordingly."

"11. Make the evening his. Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, his need to be home and relaxed."
