Quick Poll--(Or a Pathetic Version of Would-You-Rather Game)

[RJ2222222]

Hi All,

I am just curious about which of the following two potential significant others seems more appealing (and why). Obviously, my "ideal" would be a combination of the positive traits of both of these guys, but last time I checked, I could not customize a mate a la the movie Weird Science. I have been dating one of these men and have been involved with the other in the past, and both are now currently in my life or want to be. I am conflicted about both of them, to be honest.

Man #1

Positives: Makes a good living, very talented, intelligent, educated, witty, sexy, excellent in bed, fun, exciting, shares a lot of common interests with me
Negatives: bad temper, many, many female friends and probably likely to cheat, stubborn, must always have his way, not willing to compromise on the important issues

Man #2

Positives: hard worker, does not mind doing housework, affectionate, loves kids and is good with them, very loyal and not likely to cheat, very healthy and takes care of himself

Negatives: dull in general, boring in bed, not particularly witty, not very social (some social anxiety issues), TERRIBLE with money

Now, I know it is probably bad to reduce people down to a few character traits--and certainly I know that relationships are more complex and nuanced than this silly poll might suggest--but I am just curious to hear which of these significant others would be more appealing and why. I am just curious as to which traits are deal-breakers for other people.

Thanks!

I wouldn't touch either with a ten foot pole... o.o

Seconded... I'd rather be alone than be with either of them. Set higher standards... there are much better guys than those two, in the world.

Thirded. Both have too many dealbreakers for me.

You can do better than these two.
