Hmmmmm, where to start.. I love a strong man, who takes care of his body and is proud of how he looks. Attitude is important, they have to be secure enough to have a sensitive side and not be afraid to let it show, as well as know who they are. Compassion and empathy go a long way too. Oh and sense of humor??? Hell yeah!

    Tall, broad shoulders, strong legs, a little squishy. Big personality and sense of humor. :)
    Is that too much?
    It seems to be since I am alone, and have been for quite some time.

    Physically - it's all about the eyes. I perfer him to be stronger than I am. So he can lift the couch when we move.

    Personality - to ability to love unconditionally, a good sense of humor, able to laught at his own mistakes. laid back..b/c I'm too high strung and need balance.

    I feel blessed to have a husband with all of the qualities and he cooks!

    You pretty much covered all of my bases - but also, a guy that pays me attention, but isn't clingy (there's a fine line there); a guy that is upbeat and positive; knows how to take care of himself physically and mentally and isn't a *kitten*. :glasses: Oh yeah that last one is very important!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I prefer a man who knows how to treat a woman - does he respect his mother? A man that respects and loves his mom says a lot about how he will treat his woman IMO.

    And I prefer a man to have a personality. No someone who is quiet and stands in the shadows, but one that laughs at a joke and enjoys the company around him. Someone who returns the question "how are you doing" when asked the same thing...instead of just answering it and not returning the question out of politeness.

    I used to only date guys that were over 6 feet tall, broad shoulders, in good shape, but not overly so I felt bad about myself..lol!
    My current boyfriend is 5'8" tall, weighs about 150 pounds and loves to hike, rock climb, ski, you name it he likes to do it.
    I'm completely thankful every day that I stepped out of my "comfort zone" and gave him a chance. He's the most amazing man I've ever met. :love:

    I know what I prefer in a man because I found him lol.
    He's the rock to my daily epiphany.
    He is sparkling green eyes to my deep brown..
    I don't need height just masculinity and I don't need badass just someone to love me, hold me, laugh with me.
    Handsome doesn't hurt! Great smiles and good sense of humor. I prefer dark hair - my husband is graying and it looks fantastic.
    Must have a devastatingly good personal scent, yes, that matters. My husband smells delicious.
    Thoughtfulness.

    I like nice muscled arms but not muscles that are too big and large hands. But mainly I like a man that has old fashioned values and knows how to treat a woman with respect. On my first date with my last boyfriend (now deceased) he told me (as I started to open the door of his truck to get in) that chivalry is not dead and he would not let me open the door. He always insisted on opening doors for me. My George was quite a bit older than me and out of shape and not in the best of health but he won my heart because of the way he treated me.

    I like men who are taller than me, definitely a little bigger than me, strong arms, rough hands and yes, sense of humor is a must, and I like men who aren't couch potatoes, nothing irritates me more than having that man who encourages me to stay in the house and be inactive. But since i've been single for what feels like forever I'm starting to think they've all been snagged up lol :)

    I too like them tall and a little squishy too... lol and the tall part is harder than I ever expected being 5'11 and change. But honestly its not all about looks, he has to believe in working hard and playing hard. I need him honest and have a great sense of humor. I'm soo tired of lying jerks who expect you to support them!!!
