Posted: 7/8/2009 6:10:02 PM | So, women don't have any real intellectual interests????? And guys do???? When ever I chat with a guy online, one of the first things they want to chat about is sex and if you'll have sex with them on the first date or by the second or third date...just to see if you'll be "compaitble" with them...yeah right, do they really think women are that stupid?
And "hopes and aspirations" is code for the man's income....it is?????? Unlike guys who ask what your job is, is code for how much money do you make. | |

Posted: 7/8/2009 6:11:40 PM | | Who did they survey for this list? The preteen girls at the mall? I have seen the list for men, not exactly accurate either. But, I must say, if OP is looking for a date, he wont find it here now! Grow up sweetpea, using vulgar language and insulting comments about women in your profile isnt going to get you where you want to be. | |

Posted: 7/8/2009 6:29:10 PM | Ahhh come on,OP,you only say hopes and aspirations is code for a mans income because you are going to school to be a doctor so you can drive a BMW oh yeah and help people.lol
You are young,but I can assure you not all women are after you for your income potential.I saw your main pic. ;) You are right you have to do what you have to do.
Politics is one of my favorite topics because it allows me to quickly get rid of those that do not share my views.Afterall,I believe liberalism is code for mentally ill. | |

I am curious about what men talk to about to other men....I mean my friends and I talk about MEN a lot.
Guys, you talk about us, right?
Uhm, don't pull a muscle there patting yourself on the back, Your Preciousness.
I'm sorry to have to break it to you but in general us guys do not talk about you gals. It's yet another fundamental differences between the sexes. I mean, unless she's causing big trouble; and even then nobody wants to hear about it for very long unless they're the bestest of friends. Or maybe unless she has some distinguishing and unmissable physical attribute, but then it's just a passing comment. | |

Who else finds these just a little bit depressing? I do. I think it is sad (and maybe hypocritical) that women don't seem to have any real intellectual interests. I don't expect politics to be high on the list, but absolute least favorite? Jeez. And I think we all know that "hopes and aspirations" is code for the man's income.

1. Politics
2. Other dates
3. Past relationships
4. Science fiction
5. Religion
6. Celebrities
7. Science
8. Antiques
9. Money
10. History
Um....HUH???? Where did you get these lists? You do realize, these lists do not pertain to all of us right? Please tell me you realize that. Plenty of women have "intellectual" interests.
For example: I'm a huge sci-fi fan, and I enjoy debating about religion, politics, or chatting about history, science, etc.
But you also need to realize, that for thousands of years, women weren't even "allowed" to have certain interests, or even educations. So we've been trying to play catch-up for the past few decades in certain areas. Men always dominated history, science, politics, etc, because women weren't allowed in those areas. But now that we are, there are plenty of us who find those areas interesting. We're just slightly late bloomers, that's all. But we do exist. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 6:23:02 AM | | I must be an off beat woman, but I love to talk about politics. Especially in light of the dog and pony show going on today! I never talk about other dates to a current date because I think that's just rude. Other relationships... well that depends if we date long enough so that I can trust him with my 'real feelings'. Science fiction- I'm a trekkie. Religion- I love to talk about 'different' religions in general, but I'm not the type that goes on and on about 'the Lord'. Celebrities. Sometimes. I miss Michael Jackson. Science? I only like geology and astronomy. Biology is sickening. lol. I'm not much on antiques. Money I steer away from completely. Unless we are planning to move in together and it becomes relevant as to how are we going to pay the rent. And last, history... Love it. Especially early American history about the Colonials and their true intent when this country was born. So there! | |

@chameleonf:
These lists are found beneath the text field on the POF email page....
Girl, how on earth have you been able to get by on POF dates without the "lists" that tell you what men want to talk about?!
Fortunately (or unfortunately), I have a mind of my own.  If these were actual rules, I'd just have to break 'em...cuz that's how I roll. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 11:22:07 AM | OP,
I'm not sure where the list was derived, but here are my intellectual interests, as well as some others: (in no particular order)
Art, music, literature
History
Medicine
Sex
Travel & Leisure
Outdoor Activites
Politics
Archeology
Writing
Great Conversations/ Communication
Friends & Family
Architecture & Design
& Many More ; )
There are as many men, IMO, who have shallow interests and who mind-numbingly
have no desire for intellectual stimulation. It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round, OP. | |

I really don't see the need to play catch up unless your a few thousand years old to begin with. So I don't see how this applies to most women. Especially if you were not born in that era.
Men always dominated history, science, politics, etc, because women weren't allowed in those areas.
Women have been utilized in science, engineering & industry at least since world war II. Its usually because women are not as interested in these pursuits then compared to men. There are scholarships right now for women in science to try to get them in those fields. | |

Posted: 7/9/2009 1:00:11 PM | OP: I think you can take that list and pretty much throw out everything except talking about past relationships and other dates and realize the rest is just a variable for most women. But you didn't take that list to be REAL, did you? Let's have more fun with lists... 
You could add to the list for women of things they hate to talk about:
Talking about other women and how hot they are.
Honey, I think you need to lose some weight.
You are just like your mother.
HOW much did those shoes cost??
Things my previous lover did in bed
I would change on the men's list of things they like to talk about to:
1. sex
2. themselves
3. their motocycle
4. their fantasy sports team
5. how they know more about how things should be done than anyone else
(this is for engineers)
6. romance (see number 1)
7. FWB
8. how good they look in that topless picture on POF
9. Movies with gore, explosions and at least one hot chick (Megan Fox, perhaps)
10: Things they'd like to do to you (switch this to #3 if he doesn't own a motorcycle) | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 6:55:44 AM | | Seems as if maybe men love to discuss it so much because they aren't doing it? A major turn off to me and probably a lot of women. I agree, a man who does not discuss it who does it at the right time is sexy. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 7:16:38 AM | | Each and every one of those topics is a good one to a degree as long as you`re not a fanatic about any particular one. A person will become boring pretty fast if they`re not capable of discussing many topics on an intelligent/fun level which of course is the biggest obstacle in finding a real mate. You must be able to connect intellectually since I regret to say she can`t use her mouth on me ALL the time. | |

If I had a nickel for every time a man sent me a first message here with some sort of comment like:
"So, tell me about your hopes and dreams."
"I'd love to talk about your hopes and dreams."
"What are your hopes and dreams."
*lol* - *LOL* - *lol*
Never knew before reading this thread why a good third or so of the guys who contacted me first all sounded like the same brand of airhead!
*lol* - *LOL* - *lol*
Truly AMUSED here.
It wouldn't have been nice and I prefer to be nice but I sure wish I'd had the moxie to reply:
"My hopes and dreams include meeting a man who is able to and interested in talking about Science, Politics, World Events, like my profile states. *wink* Wanna impress me? Tell me your opinions on the state of the economy, or what you think about the power of the Federal Reserve, or or how you feel Obama is handling the situations we all face, or what you know and believe or don't believe about string theory and why! --Your opinions on conspiracy theorists has the potential to really pique my curiosity .. or I'd likely stop what I'm doing to compose a reply right after reading if you share how your meditation time went today. Heck, even what you ate for dinner last night, but in an interesting way, perhaps reveals your opinions on the quality of food American's consume or an interest in ethnic dishes or .. SOMETHING of substance!"
*LOL* - Learned something here. They weren't airheads at all. Just conversation topic challenged and influenced by yet another 'what all women like list'.
Appreciated! - *LOL* | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 9:22:07 AM | | Noting, by the way, it was always a huge turn-off to be asked by a stranger about my 'hopes and dreams' in an email. If you really want her to talk about her hopes and dreams, start by telling her about yours. Men would fare better, however, if they found topics of common interest revealed in her profile .. and begin conversations about those. | |

Gosh, you're right! I am seriously so dumb to believe all women have the same exact top ten favorite conversation topics. I hang my head in shame...I am troubled...I should have known better. Wait, no that's not me. I feel no shame, am untroubled, and I DO know better.
spicynicegirl, maybe you shouldn't take the list so personally. Generalizations give a good indication of the state of society overall. That is all we are talking about. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 9:41:35 AM | i agree it is hugely strange for a guyyou havent even talked to, to suddenly ask you out of the blue what your hopes are for the future.
lets pick a nice not to threatening not too controversial topic to start off with like cheese perhaps .... what is your favorite cheese... then lets talk about religion and politics and maybe hopes and dreams | |

I don't see sex on that list!
I think even this list can be consolidated into just one: Anything that requires thinking causes wrinkles, which is not good.
And besides, if the two of you are discussing one of the above topics, then it means you are not discussing how you are going to make her dreams come true, and that's a no-no. | |

Posted: 7/10/2009 2:29:32 PM | Wow. Harsh reactions you got, dude. I think what you are forgetting is that there is a middle-ground between selling-out, and staying true.
The meaning of what type of relationship you are looking for needs to be clear. If you are truly wanting to fall in love, then you must accept that your views and opinions will change. It's inevitable. | |
