* **Candy-eye:**
	+ **Mentally:** Alex's ideal woman is someone soft and sweet, a home-maker who is willing to cook and clean for him, though this is only on the surface. His true desire for a woman is someone who strays from these traditional ideas, finding those who provide for themselves and carry themselves independently very attractive.
	+ **Physically:** Going off of his personality we can see he really does not mind who he sleeps with, thus not caring much of looks. However, if he were to create the perfect woman she would be petite, brunette, and with slight womanly curves.
