    Is This the Perfect Woman?

    Here is one man’s idea of the perfect woman (as outlined in a letter to Elle Magazine‘s E. Jean).

    Does this ideal woman exist, or is she just a myth?

    She must be . . .

    Out-of-this-world intelligent and passionate

    Extremely independent with eclectic and diverse interests

    Not needy, high-maintenance, jealous, or requiring constant attention

    Very adventurous — E.g., loves to backpack around China

    Supersexual and sexually adventurous

    Multiorgasmic via vaginal sex

    On the Pill

    5’7″ to 6’1″

    Small breasts

    Gorgeous

    Ambitious

    Loves big dogs

    Happy!

    Healthy!

    Nice!

    In her 20s

    Very thin (but not because she’s starving herself or has food issues — I want someone who will be thin her entire life)

    Atheist, agnostic, or not religious

    Does not want kids in the next five years

    Plays tennis very well

    Helicopter skis

    Is dying to learn how to kiteboard

    Speaks French perfectly

    Plays video games (maybe I am asking for a bit much here :))

    Anyone who aspires to be a housewife is automatically eliminated

  • E. Jean Carroll’s The Nine Rules for Reinventing Yourself

    E Jean Carroll on Reinventing Yourself

    1. Don’t let your assumptions determine who you are.

    2. Don’t waste time yearning for flawless bosses. Every day tell yourself that you will meet a dingbat, a jerkweed, a weakling, a chump, and a scoundrel. Be ready for them.

    3. Don’t pay for a course from a so-called online university. Take free online classes offered by Harvard, Brown, Duke, Stanford, and others on Coursera.org & EDx.org.

    4. Don’t crash industry cocktail parties. Meet a smarter bunch of people by crashing $5,000-a-plate lunches.

    5. Run through museums. You’ll get great ideas faster.

    6. Don’t jump out of an airplane unless you tape your ankles first.

    7. Listen to your fantasies, not your dreams.

    8. Don’t take up a new hobby unless it frightens you.

    9. Don’t take a pole-dancing class. Just stare into the eyes of men on a subway for the same effect.
