I found a glaring disparity in Janice Radway's article about what the Smithton women envisioned as the perfect man from romance novels. On online polls and articles about women's taste in men, the overwhelmingly most important thing women look for is a sense of humor. This is just an example, and I know it's not at the top but sense of humor is always a major player in women's desire in a man, and I thought it was interesting these romance novels don't consider it a huge element. Not only sense of humor, but what about women who love assholes? Do romance novels cater to a certain group of women who don't seek assholes? Here is an extreme internet version of an asshole:
Yes this video is meant to make you laugh, but the many stereotypes highlighted in this farce are extreme descriptions of real attitudes that can land a man a women. It could just be the age demographics, or some other variable, but do you disagree women like assholes and funny guys?
