I'm forced to quote from Mad Men to make my point:
"You know what happiness is? Happiness is the smell of a new car. It's freedom from fear. It's a billboard on the side of the road that screams reassurance that whatever you are doing is okay. You are okay."
The purpose of these threads seems to be reassuring young men that their tastes are approved of at least by the people here. It's some measure of commiseration, as well. If I say "Golly, I'd take any girl who likes me" and I see fifteen other posts saying the same thing, the apparent reality that no girl likes me is more palatable.
There's also a bit of a frat boy mentality here sometimes. It's a pack mentality of boys who were never allowed into the pack. If I put a post of "well, I want a girl who's smart enough to discuss with me the conflict between Cartesian Dualism and Existentialism, ect" it wouldn't garner as much positive response as "yeah, tits are fun." If I'm looking for validation, I want people to actually approve of what I say.
Also, to all of the people who are actually listing attributes they want in a girl: I urge you to read the bloody OP. This isn't (intended) to be a thread about what we like in girls, it's meant to be a thread about the threads that ask that question. Bah, back to the kittens for me.
