Ideal man

That guy Freud certainly wasn't sexist. In additional to the Oedipus Complex for guys, he had the Electra Complex* for the girls. Basically, the gist of his theory was that gals want to shag their fathers. To avoid arrest, they usually settle for a guy who reminds them of daddy dearest.

Consequently, Mr Right has to have papa's honour, integrity, decency and unconditional love. In addition, if he had Brad Pitt's looks and six pack circa "Thelma and Louise", the lovable bad boy aura of our own Colin Farrell, the deep thinking intelligence of Albert Einstein, the erudite wit of Stephen Fry, the compassion and understanding of Jesus and the appendage of Ron Jeremy, he should have a great chance with any woman.

That is, assuming he has a good job and prospects, a few bob in the bank, a nice wardrobe, comes from good stock, pees sitting down, doesn't fart etc. etc., of course!


*To assuage any pedantic psychoanalysts out there, I must point out that it was apparently Jung that named it thus! Admittedly, it is a more catchy title than Freud's "Female Oedipus Attitude".
