I am pretty happy with my girlfriend, at the moment. She knows I have no desire to get married, and she is fine with that. (And I don't want to have kids of my own, and she is fine with that, too.)

She cares about her health enough to stay active (fit), she puts effort into having a career, she accepts my interests as being part of who I am without trying to change me, she supports the men's rights movement, she is non-violent and talks out her emotions/problems, she is supportive of my life choices in general...

I don't know, it is tough to list out "ideal" qualities. The above qualities are things I appreciate about my girlfriend, but it would be a little self-defeating to list "ideal" qualities, because then I would be creating a standard to which no female could live up to.

I'm not going to make an exhaustive list, but above all things if I had to pick one quality: honest.

My wife. (Ahhhhhh).

Intellectual honesty, self sufficiency and lack of the self centered victim mentality are important.

It's not and never has been about what's wrong or right with women. It's about leveling the inequalities in society and law. Every woman, like every man, is different and deserves to be judged on their own merit.

There is no "perfect woman", for me. I just want a balanced field to play the game of life on.

Understanding of men's issues is probably number one. Compassionate, fair and hard-working.

pretty much me with boobs and ovaries. i have realized that most of the qualities that i look for in women i also look for (and find) in myself.

Lot's of talk about what's wrong with women

This makes me sad ;-;

I do have a few complaints about "women in general", but they apply to men too (i.e. they're human traits that I dislike) or, if specific to women, they would probably not even be that common. The only one I can really think of is a flippant attitude towards hitting or insulting men, though men tend to think it's okay when women do it too. I think only tools like Jeremiah are going to be saying "obeys all my commands" etc.

EDIT: Also a victim complex which appears to be more common among women than men.

For me, introverted, intelligent, quirky, puts a lot of time into her hobbies, rational/reasonable, accomodating and laid-back.

Asking MRAs as a whole this question is a little nonsensical. We're a really diverse group. Some of the people here are women.

Here's my personal answer. Just be pleasant and don't waste a lot of money.

She has to be happy within herself before she can have any kind of good relationship. The idea that "when I find Mr. Right, things will change" is pervasive nonsense. Having a solid foundation internally is then the basis for building all other qualities.

What would an MRA's version of their ideal woman be?

I would think of a woman and add reason and accountability.

2012-03-19T05:48:30+00:00

She'll have a job

NEVER making that mistake again

If you mean one that we would like to date/marry? Attractiveness aside (we all want that) I would say...

1.Ability to reason logically.
2.A strong respect for individual rights.
3. Is caring for, but not hyper-protective of, her children
3b. Is willing to actually punish her children when they screw up. None of this new-age bullshit. But without going overboard for every little thing.
4. Able to work as a team in marriage.

Raven hair (Personal preference)
16 < BMI < 23
No children from other men
Respectful of me
Likes to have sex with me (and not with other men)
Independent
Doesn't spend massive amounts of my income while I'm gone. (This goes with the previous point)

I think I would be very happy living with someone who meets the above criteria. I have yet to find a SINGLE woman that meets the the requirements of: Respectful, no children, not being grossly overweight. One of those things seems to be missing, and I will not compromise. I can find companionship elsewhere, and if I grow toi old to find a wife I will just adopt. It's a shame that there are so many children that nobody cares about.

Someone who is not a bigot, has a sense of humour, can think for herself (preferably an atheist opposing dogmatic doctrine, ideological or religious), is self-sufficient, egalitarian, open-minded and non-violent.

It would seem you are conflating feminism with women, a common mistake, let me take you through it: Women are a sexual demographic, feminism is a bigotted ideology based on hateful dogma (as an added bonus it is also a tautology). The two words are spelled differently and have two entirely different meanings.
