Nearly every girl that I ever meet
Says that she wants a man who is clever and sweet.
A good sense of humour, good manners, polite
He'll be kind to animals, walk her home every night.
It can be a surprise, when I see in the street
The same girl with her man that she'd like me to meet.
A good education is not what he claims
A nice house and familt are not his life's aims.
He's no conversationalist, he grunts when he speaks
He's not opened a book in seven months and three weeks.
He's no sense of humour, finds breaking wind funny
He isn't that thoughtful about spending her money.
On all of their dates she will drive, so he thinks
So that he doesn't have to "watch what he drinks"
Each weekend there's football then drinks with a mate
He won't keep his arrangement, or if he does he'll be late.
But he will be quite rugged and dark haired and tall
And he won't look nerdy or studious at all
He'll shave at least weekly and have quite good teeth
She'll tell her friends he's sensitive "far underneath".
But it's no use complaining, we men are as bad
We aren't looking for "mom" so we can play "dad".
We aren't swayed by good manners or breeding or class
We just want to say "BLIMEY look at that ass".

Haha, fantastic. I've been meaning to write a poem about all of the above, because I agree so strongly with the subject matter! Our urges go without explanation, but the women's "bad boy" instinct - to understand that takes a little more research. I won't go into it but Richard Dawkins books, and any body language book can point people in the right direction. Unfortunately, there IS a scientific reason behind this! Excellent craftsmanship as always.
