The best and worst parts about being a woman, according to men

Top answers: The best part would be unsolicited attention from the opposite sex. The worst part would be unsolicited attention from the opposite sex. Best part - creating life with my own body, and the bond a mother has with her children. Worst part - not having the same opportunities as men due to sexism, conscious and unconscious.

The best: more clothing choices. The worst: getting your period every month.

At what age are women most attractive, and why? Top answers: It depends on the woman. It also depends on what makes them attractive. Perky breasts are a nice feature, but so is confidence. There’s a small window when women have both. 25-35. Women at this age are more mature in their outlook, usually are realizing (or attempting to realize) their ambitions and are also generally more physically attractive than their counterparts in other age groups.

I find women most attractive in the sweet spot: 20-70. Because for every young starlet, there’s a Helen Mirren, and that’s why the world is a good place. What’s the most romantic thing you¹ve ever done for a woman? I once learned how to sing a French love song for a girl who lived a few towns away, but by the time that I got up to see her she had a boyfriend. I never sang her that song, but I still remember it.

Waited 8 hours in line, without her knowing, for an autograph of her favorite author.

A Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt. She had to go all over town and get clues that eventually led to a hotel suite, where I was waiting. Those are all the details you get.

Flew her to Quebec City for her birthday - but didn’t tell her where we were till we touched down.

I bought a woman flowers. That’s as about romantic as I get. In my opinion, gave her a massage. In her opinion, fixed the toilet.

No - 80 percent Yes - 10 percent Maybe - 10 percent

Yes - 75 percent No - 21 percent Maybe - 4 percent
