The Cookie Cutter Man Doesnt Exist

When I started with Laurie Davis, she asked me who my cookie cutter woman was. What was she like? I rattled off a bit of superficial checklist items, she had to be tall, had to be into sports, and so on. My dream woman was the love child of Angelina Jolie, Megan Fox, Brooklyn Decker and Lucy Lu. This woman exists in two places, my dreams and fantasies.

The perfect man doesn’t exist. No one person is perfect. It’s evident by the many single women who seek for their perfect guy only to find him and realize that something isn’t right. Someone once told me she kept dating musicians, and after several failed relationships, decided to date non-artists. She’s currently single and unhappy, because she only changed what the guy did as a requirement, instead of the type of guy.

While single, I was often asked why I didn’t have someone. Some of the reasoning, I’ve explained it to be a problem with the type of women I was seeking. However, it’s not all me. Especially online, women filter their preference of men along very narrow guidelines. Height, for an example, is one such requirement. Having to be over 5’7″ to be dateable is the silliest thing I’ve heard women use. They fell it’s too awkward dating a shorter man. Do they ever think how awkward it may be dating a shorter woman?

Women will seldom get their gingerbread man as they think of him. Like gingerbread man, there are many variations are just as delicious, if not better tasting, but use different recipes. If the gingerbread man your eating keeps making you sick, why not try a different type?
