In 2015, the German romantic comedy Traumfrauen (Dream Women) stirred up controversial reviews and debate. The actors' fine performances couldn't quite make up for the clichés it served up. The happy ending, as how could it be otherwise, once again makes us want to look for our own rose-colored cloud.

Dream women – what do men really want?

Is the woman of men's dreams really just the model from the TV commercial? Is 36-24-36 still the standard for curves? Do the requirements for being a dream woman change over the centuries? What does the saying mean that a woman has to be three women at once: best friend, perfect homemaker, and erotic lover? Does the term dream women apply only to the eye, or is there "more" behind it? Is it even possible to think in this category? Aren't opinions about dream women just as varied as favorite foods and sports teams? While the Venus figures of the early modern period were once considered ideals, Twiggy promoted a completely opposite body in the 1960s. So does the label dream woman come down only to her looks?

Dream women – what makes them who they are?

Of course, it's nice to have a curvy woman at your side who draws the eye of onlookers, and to impress friends and colleagues with her at events. According to surveys, though, that's not necessarily the only criterion for a dream woman!

Ideal partners can above all do one thing: make their partner feel that he is one of a kind and not boring. They take an interest in his hobbies and in his job too. Support included! But men also appreciate it when a woman is independent. A mind of her own and a career of her own matter to them just as much as laughing together and making memories. Feeling secure in a relationship isn't only at the top of the wish list in surveys of women.

Dream women – where can they be found?

With an honest description of yourself and an open way of approaching potential contacts, there is certainly a chance today of finding your dream woman in the vastness of the internet and its many niche sites. But funny texts and Photoshopped pictures also have to hold up against reality. After all, someone is being sought for real life, for everyday life.

By the first meeting at the latest, the dream and the imagination have to match the person across the table. Or at least come close. With lively conversation and the right chemistry, the dream woman will even overlook a bit of a belly. The partner of your dreams is a matter of definition, and anyone who really thinks about how far interests and outlooks on life need to match will find a true soulmate alongside the woman of his dreams!
