Eyes, legs, personality.
1971
MJ: I haven’t really had any girlfriends yet, but I’ll tell 당신 what I’d like to find in a girl. She has to have a good personality. I wouldn’t want to go out with a girl unless I had talked to her for a while, seen what she’s like, asked her a lot of questions.
Super Soul, 1971
Me: “Mike, let’s talk about Jermaine first. Do 당신 get along with Jermaine as well as with your friends?”
Michael: “Jermaine and I have a lot of groovy times together! We get along very well and hardly ever fight like a lot of brothers with a big age difference do! Jermaine is the kind of older brother 당신 can dig. cause he’s not the type that thinks he’s smarter just because he’s an older brother.”
Me: “What do 당신 think is the thing that’s most different between 당신 and Jermaine?”
Michael: “There’s a big difference in the kind of girls we like. People say I’m full of energy, and I guess that’s why I like lively girls who laugh and talk a lot. Jermaine is 더 많이 cool. He digs girls who are the foxy type, mysterious and quiet.”
Jackson 5 Fax, 1972
Michael: I wish girls wouldn’t think they have to be some kind of super-girl for me-or any of my brothers-to dig them. But I guess it’s because we’re in show business they think our ideas about girls are so different from other guys.
Star, 1972
Star: What do 당신 like in an girl, Michael?
Michael: I think personality’s the most important thing of all. I dig chicks who are on the lively side, who 사랑 to laugh and talk.

Katherine Jackson’s Bio, 1990
The most tired rumor of all was the rumor that Michael was gay.
All I can say is, Michael is not gay. He intends to settle down and get married one day. We’ve talked about it. And he will.
I wish he did have that special someone to share his life with right now; his life would be richer. I think that, deep down, he does, too.
I think the reason why he’s had so few relationships in recent years, is that he’s been approached so many times 의해 women who are so obviously looking for that pot of gold at the end of the 무지개, 레인 보우 that he’s grown wary. Michael wrote about this type of woman — I call her a status seeker — in his song “Dirty Diana.”
When Michael was younger he joked that “when the 사랑 bug bites me, that’s when I’m going to marry.” 의해 1989 he was telling me, “The woman I marry will have to have a lot of money herself. That’s the only way I’ll know for sure that she’s not marrying me for my money.”
And yet, Michael seems happy. Even though he knows that he will never be able to live a “normal” life, he seems comfortable with his fame. I believe that when he’s good and ready to get married, he’ll do it, despite the inevitable press uproar.
REBBIE: Even if Michael were to find the “perfect” woman tomorrow, I think that he would be reluctant to subject her to the incredible scrutiny that he’s subjected to every day.
Even if Michael’s wife did manage to adapt to life in a 물고기 bowl, she’d also have to cope with the reality of Michael attending meetings, and members of his entourage constantly pulling on him. Some of these people, no doubt, would view her as no 더 많이 than a competitor for Michael’s time.
Glenda Tapes, June 1992
M: I just… wanna know what its like, girl, to have a real relationship with someone who doesn’t want me for me – that I dont, I don’t have to look over my shoulder all the time.
G: That doesn’t have an ulterior motive?
M: Yeah, that doesn’t 질문 me… I mean..(i) I don’t… and, and.. like La Toya said in her book.. she said, either I am going to have to find somebody who doesn’t even know who the heck I am -
G: (i)
M: Orrr..oorr deal with somebody who’s career is equally as important, 또는 equally like mine..
G: Well.. a nix to both of those.
Shmuley Tapes, 2000/1
MJ: I want someone who is a lot like me, who has the same interests and who wants to help. The ones who are classy and quiet and not into all the sex and all the craziness because I am not into that. I do not understand alot of the things that go on in relationships and I do not know if I ever will. Mean things and vulgar things with their bodies. I do not understand it and it has hurt my past relationships.
SB:Have 당신 ever found girls who like practical jokes that 당신 like? Have 당신 ever found a woman who collects comics?
MJ: It is a rarity. If I find one I will go nuts. Especially, if she has those qualities and is beautiful inside. It would be a 집 run for me.
MJ: I think sexy comes from the 심장 in the way 당신 present yourself.
SB: Have 당신 ever found women who are a bit 더 많이 modest to be 더 많이 attractive for that reason?
MJ: Yeah. I don’t like women who are always saying, “My nails need to be done. I have to do my toes. I need a manicure.” I hate all that. I lke it when girls are a little bit 더 많이 tomboyish. If they wrestle, climb a tree….. I 사랑 that. It is sexier to me. I like class, though. Class is everything.
SB:Celebrities are targets for people who marry them for wrong reasons, their fortune and their name. But don’t 당신 know when someone is interested in 당신 for the wrong reasons?
MJ: 당신 don’t know.
It is hard because the women today can do a good job of faking it. I mean a real good job. They are smooth. Look in the Bible. Women have taken the most powerful men down to nothing because of what’s between their legs.
SB: Can 당신 immediately tell innocence?
MJ: Right away although I find it harder to tell with women because they’re so smooth. But with men I can usually tell, because they are 더 많이 open and like puppies, while girls are 더 많이 like cats. 당신 know how if you’ve been on vacation and 당신 get 집 and a 강아지 is all over you, while with a cat, it’s “Hey I don’t need you, 당신 come over here and pick me up”. They give 당신 attitude. They’ll walk right 의해 당신 even though they haven’t see 당신 in three months. Women are very smart. Walt 디즈니 always said they are smarter than men and he always hired 더 많이 women.
