Fran Drescher Opens Up About What She's Looking For In A Man (VIDEO)

Fran Drescher has very specific -- and alliterative -- criteria for men she dates: they need to have the five S's.

"The five S's are smart, successful, sexy, single... and straight!" the 54-year-old divorcee joked on "The Talk" on Tuesday. Drescher's fifth 'S' was likely a reference to her ex-husband, Peter Marc Jacobson, who revealed that he was gay two years after the pair ended their 21-year marriage.

The former couple are now friends -- they even set each other up on dates -- and co-producers of the loosely autobiographical TV Land sitcom, "Happily Divorced."

Earlier this month, Drescher told CNN that she was "back on the meat market" after recently ending a three-and-a-half year relationship. But dating hasn't been easy, she said: "I do rely on setups and blind dates as a means for meeting people. I certainly can't go on Internet dating sites, so it makes it a little more difficult, coupled with the fact that I'm a celebrity. I wield power and have money, so my success can be threatening to a lot of men."

She represents the best qualities of American women, and is to be celebrated as a feminist icon for her performances on the screen and in real life, where heart matters most. Brava.

Makes you sound like a loser. You might want to keep that to yourself.

"The five S's are smart, successful, sexy, single... and straight!"

All good, except that smartness, success and sexiness are all relative qualities, in the sense that they represent extremes on the scales of human intelligence, affluence and physical appeal. Your chance of getting a partner who is top 10% on all these scales is 1 in 1000. To which point I ask: are YOU in the 1 in 1000 category? Oh yeah... and good luck finding a 1/1000 person who is still single at middle age. :)

And as you said yourself, "relative qualities." But incorrectly. It's relative to our own standards, not yours. So what she thinks embodies those qualities are probably vastly different than your own.

I'd say her chances are 1/50. Whereas yours, limiting as they are, are zero.

The five things to look in women:
Those whose age is no more than 30.
Those who are not feminists
Those who are not divorced
Those who have not gone through 100 relationships
Those who post everything they do on F.B.,use phone constantly
Those who are not gold diggers
Those who are not whiny naggers
Those who look beautiful without surgeries and tonnes of make up
Rich,sexy, single... and straight!"

I am 45 and not at all interested in a man whose math skills are such that he thinks that 5 is equal to 12. Good luck on that one!

And their spelling leaves much to be desired. Thankfully, none of us are saddled with that "man."

But i thought feminists love gay men.Why feminists should not marry gay men?It's discrimination based on sexual orientation.

Of course you thought that. Being wrong is your thing.

I really liked Fran's earlier sitcom, "The Nanny". I have watched her new show, but it's not really as funny as the other.

The only man who could possibly stand a chance married to this woman would be a man who was completely deaf.
