A new survey has revealed that there really is a perfect man in Vancouver, but he might be difficult to find.

The dating-auction website WhatsYourPrice.com surveyed 1,013 Vancouver women to ask them their definition of “The Perfect Man,” rating men by personality, income level, education, hair and eye colour, body type and vices.

Women across Canada were asked to rank what they thought were the most important qualities when it comes to dating a man. Vancouver was the only city that cited intelligence as a top priority.

Survey results found that Vancouver women found the perfect man as someone who earns $150,000 to $200,000 a year, is highly intelligent and has obtained a Master’s Degree.

This perfect specimen has brown hair, brown eyes and has an athletic build. When it comes to vices, Mr. Right drinks, but just casually, and doesn’t smoke.

WhatsYourPrice.com CEO Brandon Wade said women looking for partners online aren’t necessarily hung up on superficial qualities like looks and body type.

“Our study indicates that women look past profile pictures and also value certain intangibles when choosing a first date—success, intelligence, and social habits,” he said.

WhatsYourPrice.com is an online dating site where dates are bought and sold. Wade also founded a dating site specifically geared at so-called Sugar Daddy arrangements – SeekingArrangements.com.
