    As Twinsfan said in another thread, "I can't afford to be picky"! :laugh:

    Sense of humor first and foremost. I laugh all the time, mostly at myself. If you can't laugh at yourself, you're not going to like it when I laugh at you. :laugh: I big, stocky boys. I don't want to "break" a smaller boy.

    Hush with that stuff,you ain`t breaking anybody. :wink:

    I always make fun of myself for the reason that has been stated forever...easier to do it before someone else does.
    Have been told that can be a turn off to ladies though too.

    You ladies sure are hard to figure out. smiley-scared003.gif

    :blushing:

    There's self-deprecation and there's being able to laugh at yourself. Laughing at yourself is a sese of humor...repeated self-deprecation signals some underlying issues, in my opinion.

    Curious question for the ladies...

    At what point is a "nice" guy too nice?
    Have read that it happens and is actually a turn off or is that a bunch of horse muffins?

    Someone is too nice when they don't have a voice or an opinion of their own, they just go with whatever you want and think that whatever you think is right and discounts their own opinion for yours. That's a turnoff. If I like the color red, it doesn't mean you have to. I don't want you to like it because I do. I want you to like it because you like it.

    Don't guys get annoyed by that too?

    "What do you want to do tonight?"
    "I don't care, whatever you want."
    What do you feel like eating tonight?"
    "Doesn't matter, I'll have whatever you feel like eating."

    Oh hell yeah it would...would want to talk with a lady about things and have a discussion about opinions and feelings where both can feel free to openly express themselves.

    I just want someone honest and loyal. Get me with your charm and stay true to me and that's all I need!

    This is fun!

    Personality wise- My type of guy that is one I can have a good conversation with. Someone who listens to me, and is filled with interesting opinions and ideas (and not necessarily ones I agree with!). He also has to have a great sense of humor on multiple levels (everything from fart jokes, to witty/intelligent quips). My ideal guy is compassionate, and understanding, without being a doormat. He's a bit of a homebody, but likes to go out every now and then. He has to enjoying reading (although he doesn't have to be as obsessed as I am), be creative, and into geeky things. My ideal guy doesn't feel the need to pay for everything as a way to prove how much he cares about me (although occasionally is nice). I'm not material girl, but I do need lots of affection. My ideal guy doesn't mind being a bit of goof every now and then, but knows how to be serious too. Oh, he also needs to be good in the bedroom.

    Looks wise? Tall dark and handsome. Some things are classic for a reason. Oh and glasses. I love a man in glasses.

    If it looks like I've thought a lot about this, it's because I just described my fiancé. To be honest, I never really had a "type" until I met him, and realized that he was what I was looking for all along.

    Respect and trust are the most important things to me in a man. He needs to show respect for me and himself so that I can trust him.

    Also the big deal-breaker is if I am in a relationship with someone they need to be able to put me top of the priority list. Even within a family, the primary relationship needs to be strong as the basis of that family.

    I used to think a great sense of humour was important, but my first husband was hysterically funny, just not the right person for me.

    Just a reminder to all those lucky peeps who are talking up their wonderful partners, just take some time today to show them how much you value them, life can change in the blink of an eye.

    Exactly. Someone with their own beliefs, even if they differ from mine.

    Guys - i feel an intervention is needed! Do NOT go on what a woman says she wants. If that were true, game-show hosts would be the sexiest men alive (good personality, sense of humour)

    Assuming you present yourself reasonably, then confidence is the number one attractor. And confidence does not equal lechery!

    I love this topic :smile:

    I can honestly say that my boyfriend is my ideal man!!

    Looks-wise I've always had a thing for tall men, not fat but not thin (something to hug other than bones), a little bit of stubble but well kept. Kris is 6'5", pretty well built, a little more hairy than I'd like, but he does look after himself.

    Personality-wise I like men who make me feel secure, who don't take themselves too seriously and who I can have an intelligent conversation with. They also have to either share similar interests with me, or at least been willing to give them a try... this is because, during the summer months, pretty much every weekend for me is taken up with car shows!

    This goes both ways.

    We really don't want to be a wavy stick with large breasts right women? Or a taller wavy stick with larger breasts right?

    Oh ..we can't really change that per se in acceptable ways.

    So in conclusion:
    Just be yourself, without apology.

    I'll come out of the closet for this but going back right after...I have a major thing for Steve Harvey. YUMMO. He's tall, broad, not fat but not skinny and so dang funny. Mmmm. My husband has no clue. He loves Jennifer Anniston so it's all good. Did I mention bald? Oh yeah baby.

    Even with that mustache?? LOL he is pretty funny though! My ideal man is truthful, loyal, taller than me, cleans up after himself, and can make me laugh. It's always nice if he's supportive to me and my goals, can cook, doesn't like to go out to bars too often, intelligent, and can hold a conversation :)
