We all have an idea of what we’re looking for in a mate. That idea owes a lot to the media, and it isn’t all that realistic. She is looking for a man with smouldering good looks and a deep sensitive streak (full disclosure: I’m a man, and most of the time I don’t even care about my own feelings). He is looking for a woman who is paying for her math degree by stripping. Only very rarely are these expectations fulfilled.
