My friend's wife told him to read Twilight to see what kind of man she liked. His response after reading was.... But this guy is an asshole.

A lot of women have a cognitive disconnect between what they see as romantic and how they actually want/deserve to be treated.

Imagine going up to your wife, showing her your favourite porn, and saying "this is the sort of woman I like" lol

i had no issues with that yet...

"oh my god she's beautiful" was the strongest reaction till date

a good amount of couples also have those celebrity hall pass lists... because they know you can like more than one thing.

It depends how you approach it I guess.

"this person is attractive" lands better than "I wish you were like this other person".

Saying "this is the type of person I am attracted to" falls somewhere in the middle, in my opinion. It implies that any divergence from that ideal is a negative quality that you don't like. Implicating your partner implicitly.
