A dating website says it surveyed 5,000 Seattle men to find the attributes of the perfect woman. It also placed a monetary value on those qualities. (File photo)

Attributes of 'the perfect woman' defined and monetized

November 14, 2012 @ 8:43 pm (Updated: 9:22 am - 11/15/12 )

The perfect woman is a brunette with blue eyes. She's a casual drinker, doesn't smoke, and has a Master's Degree too, according to Seattle men who were supposedly interviewed for a dating website.

This information (aka break from serious, real news of the moment) comes from a site that calls itself the 'world's largest' dating-auction website. I think they have page-view envy.

The PR company behind revealing 'the perfect woman' decided to put a price on the key qualities or vices of a woman that men find important.

Really.

In a press release, they also included a fabulous quote from the website's CEO.

"A man's desire is measured by the amount that he is willing to invest in an opportunity," says Brandon Wade, the CEO and Founder of a website I've decide to call WhatsYourProblem.com (Google the real name if you must).

"This is a perfect example of 'putting your money where your mouth is,' as these men date what they desire and have the means necessary to find their perfect woman."

Good quote Brandon. Did I mention he's the same guy behind the find your sugar daddy website?

Okay hot shot, monetize the perfect woman's features.

Most Desirable Hair Color: Brunette (+$140.94) Blonde Hair (+$138.31) Black Hair (+$137.27) Red Hair (+$135.56) Other (+$129.49)

Most Desirable Eye Color: Blue Eyes (+$42.33) Green Eyes (+$40.61) Hazel Eyes (+$39.88) Brown Eyes (+35.92) Other (+30.76)

Vices: Casual Drinker (+17.52) Social Drinker (+15.59) Non-Drinker (+13.78) Non-Smoker (+16.61) Casual Smoker (+13.28) Regular Smoker (+9.09)

Most Desirable Education Master's Degree (+30.17) Bachelor's Degree (+$28.31) Doctorate Degree (+$27.65) Associate's Degree (+$21.25) High-School Diploma (+$19.04)

Based on the results of this study, Seattle's perception of the perfect woman is a brunette with blue eyes, a casual drinker who doesn't smoke, who is a college graduate with a Master's Degree. The most desirable female features altogether earn an average first date offer of $247.57.

I'll be sure to calculate my value and have it added to my page in the binders full of women.

By LINDA THOMAS, worth exactly $243.08. Yeah.

    that everything of value comes with a cost. The more you value it the more you are willing to invest.

    Our mates are easily our most valued treasure - until the kids come along - and we are willing to invest whatever monetary and emotional 'coin' necessary to keep them happy, healthy and safe.

    But I still don't understand why lap dances are EITHER $20 or $40 ????

    for about a year and then she packed up and left. She wanted to get married. She looked like she walked out of a Playboy magazine, out to dinner, guys would just stare. Fast forward 25 years, ran into her at a grocery store... man, time did not do her well. No need for makeup on Halloween.

    All a masters degree tell you is she was able to sit in classes a lot.

    It has nothing to due with how smart she is and certainly not how much common sense she has. It does however make her earning potential higher so we could sit back and mooch.

    "a college graduate with a Master's Degree" is just a bit redundant, ain't it?

    A few more could have been added to the list. And besides that, I've seen better. The rest of you can bid for her.

    Great looks and personality

    I calculated my worth on here i came out to $233.11 $14.46 less then a non smoker with a masters degree but whats not calculated is age, height, and weight. just based on looks being worth $233.11 is not bad, but you can be the most desirable woman and still be the worst person on the planet so why are looks so importmant when i should really be what is on the inside.
