				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A few months ago, the horrifically cynical new <del>prostitution</del> dating auction site <a href="http://www.whatsyourprice.com/" target="_blank">WhatsYourPrice.com</a> made minor media waves with the release of its survey results revealing the stats of NYC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="http://www.glamour.com/sex-love-life/blogs/smitten/2012/11/alert-i-am-the-perfect-woman-a.html" target="_blank">perfect woman</a>.&#8221; Now those geniuses have done it again!<a href="http://nypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Picture-1.png"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-60487" title="Picture 1" src="http://nypress.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/Picture-1-300x192.png" alt="" width="300" height="192" /></a></p>
<p>BeYourOwnPimp.com has released the results of another survey, this time educating us all on the most desirable traits for heterosexual men in New York City.</p>
<p>The site asked 9,345 of its female members to rank the qualities they want in a male partner in the categories of Income, Education, Hair Color, Eye Color, Body Type, and Vice.</p>
<p>Before we consider the results, let&#8217;s break that down a bit.</p>
<p>The number of respondents represents roughly 0.2 percent of women in New York City, but more importantly, it represents only women who would sign up for a dating service where men literally bid on how much cash they will give to a woman for a first date (in addition, of course, to paying for the date). Someone please explain to me how this is different than an escort service. I am not being facetious.</p>
<p>Secondly, let&#8217;s ponder the qualities we are singling out here as worthy of ranking, and note what&#8217;s missing. Income and education, I get. Hair and eye color, not so much. Sure, everyone has their preferences, but who ever turned down a date with someone attractive because they have blue eyes instead of brown? Body type, sure. Vice (meaning how much do you smoke/drink) can definitely be a dealbreaker, so fine. But what are we leaving out? Kindness? Intelligence (which can&#8217;t be found on a degree)? Sense of humor? <a href="http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/most_desirable_traits/Top_5_Character_Traits.php" target="_blank">Faithfulness</a>? MarioKart high score? Feelings on family life and fatherhood? Political leanings? Empathy? Values? <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2012/12/26/business/even-cupid-wants-to-know-your-credit-score.html?_r=0" target="_blank">Credit score</a>, even?</p>
<p>The survey reveals that The Perfect Man(TM)  &#8221;<em>earns $150,000 to $200,000 a year, obtained a Graduate Degree, has brown hair with green eyes, an athletic build, and is a social drinker who doesn’t smoke.&#8221;</em></p>
<p>In other words, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrick_Bateman" target="_blank">this guy</a>:</p>
