A woman’s perfect man earns £48K, drives an Audi and drinks beer, according to a new poll by Austin Reed.
Stylish clothes, a good body, and a clean shaven face are also a ‘must’, revealed a survey of 2,000 women, while poor DIY skills and vegetarianism, don’t pass muster.
The ideal man must also be able to swim, ride a bike, and make family his top priority (while maintaining a high-earning job, of course).
And, although girls don't like their other half to be too 'deep' (with 43% preferring their chap to joke around and have a laugh than enjoy in-depth conversations), 86% say they want a man who is sensitive, calls his mother regularly and cries during films.
A spokesperson for Austin Reed said: "It would seem that women have high expectations when it comes to the perfect man. How a man is presented is obviously going to be a huge part of that. While women don’t want a man to be too preened, they would like him to be stylish and up to date with current trends."
Researchers found the dream man will have short dark hair and a smart dress sense - similar to that of TV presenter Steve Jones.
So, do any of these guys fit your ‘perfect man’ bill?

This is ridiculous. As someone else stated, if there were a "perfect woman" poll (which there probably will be), women all over the world would be PISSED. Such a waste of time..why did I read this article?

My neighbour-down-the-hall has a son in his 30's who rings her, without fail, every single night. Every single night. Sometimes he rings his Mum from his bathroom so he can bleat and whine about his wife gaining ten pounds without her hearing him. He once spent 45 minutes whinging down the phone line about how his wife was overly dependent upon her father with his Mum all the while cooing and clucking sympathetically at him. There's a distinct lack of self-reflection in that family.

my perfect man is overwieght, rarely clean shaven, hates diy, earns very little and can't swim. I have been married to him for 24 years and I wouldn't swap him for anything.

I totally agree. If this was the other way around people would be saying how sexist the article is. Men and women both need to learn to accept each other for who they are.
