According to the Sweet Potato Queen, these are the five essential men a women needs in in her life are:
1. A man to dance with
2. A man to talk to
3. A man who can fix things
4. A man who will buy you things (flowers)
5. A man to have sex with
For the record, I dance badly, hate home repairs and don't like buying presents.0 -

according the the Sweet Potato Queen, there is no way in hell that they are one man. that is why she called them the 5 essential men. :laugh: :laugh:
if you have not read her books, I highly recommend them. by Jill Conner Browne, "Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love" and "God Save the Sweet Potato Queens". she has several others that i have not read.0 -
the lawl-level of this thread is quite high.0

So everbody wants a sugar daddy....got it thanks.
FAIL.
you did not do the most important thing of all. LISTEN
Very few of us mentioned material things.
I'm beginning to think this was a rhetorical question :devil: lol0 -
Someone who will listen to me, let me cry, cry on me when they need to, support me, let me support them, and CAN ACCEPT ME FOR ME! I am a tomboy, big time, but I still would like to get flowers for the first time. I don't like chocolate, so you have to eat that part of the candy bar for me.0

If a guy has any interest at all (even if it's just physical), I'd like him to man up and tell me instead of the old guys I work with. They should also not get mad if they take the latter route and the old guys tell me. Basically, don't be a sally.0

A man to show ambition!0

The big essentials are that he should be financially stable and responsible, emotionally stable and responsible, and most of all, someone you can enjoy being around who brings something positive to your life with a willingness to grow with you. The rest is just superficial stuff that can be worked out later (i.e. fixing stuff, cleaning, cooking, etc.).
My husband, thankfully, is all of those things and more. However, it took us years to learn to communicate well with each other and to talk about our needs from each person. We both made efforts to satisfy those needs because we wanted the relationship to work. This is where I think a lot of people fail: lack of solid communication and the humiility to realize that you might need to make a few changes. It took me years to realize the stupid little stuff I was worried about with my ex's really didn't matter that much. It was the big stuff that matters.0 -
I dont think any of us know. Apparently we are supposed to hold, listen, remember things, and talk to them or something. lol0

To be cherished.
Luckily my husband does.0 -

yep lol.. I'm currently taking applications.. seriously :-p0 -
Respect, humor, intelligence, honesty, Hints of romance. (at least this is what i would like.) Women, in my opinion, don't need the fancy items or to be lavished with over priced gifts. We just want to feel appreciated mostly. Girls are the ones who want to be spoiled and fawned over. Again, this is all my opinion as a woman who enjoys class.0

1. Sparkly things
2. No piss on the floor by the toilet
This! Exactly!0 -

No...but I do want the DAMN lid shut on the toliet...is that too much to ask??0 -
Someone who will make me laugh
Someone who will make me feel comfortable enough to be myself completely
Someone who doesn't need a tv, and is willing to take off for a day of gorgeous views in the mountains to forget about reality0 -
Got jokes
Get chocolate
Last for 30+ mins.
And I'm golden.
this! lol
This and no urine on or around the toilet and for Gawd's sake put the lid down. I'm tired of fighting the toilet wars! *sigh*0 -
Alright then. After the whole flower thing, I kind of want to answer this:
I want someone who I like, who likes me, but who is happy enough outside of a relationship that we enhance, rather than form the basis of, each other's lives. Someone intelligent and independent, who I respect and who thinks highly of me. Also, he's got to at least accept without question the fact that animals will *always* be a part of my life.
In terms of how I want a guy to act around me (apart from obvious respect things), just appreciate me for who I am. I am not a big flower person. 99% of the time, they are generic, and they come across as thoughtlessly extravagant. Sorry. I'd much, much rather a very small but personalized thing. If a guy came up to me with just a picture on his phone of, just for an example, a poster referencing my favorite band, or an inside joke between us, and went, "Oh, I saw this and just had to take a picture and show it to you," that'd be it for me. That would be so, so cute and I'd know he really liked me for me and the time we spent together. On the flower theme, if a guy came up with a small bouquet of my favorite flowers, that'd be cute, but my favorite flowers are a type of wildflower that grows in the mountains and can't be bought in stores, so again, it falls in the line of sweet, personalized and non extravagant gesture, rather than something like roses. I know guys think girls are hard to buy for, but this is a simple and perfect method. No one looks at something personalized to them/your relationship with them and goes "wtf is this?!" Same goes for jewelry. Don't get it for me, I probably won't wear it. Get me something half as expensive that shows that you know me, and watch me melt. Edited to add: Ironic my profile picture given my statements here, it's a pic from my favorite artist, who is from my favorite city. If a guy were to print off this picture instead of giving me real flowers, I would keep it forever, even if something happened to the relationship.
In one sentence, what do girls want? They want to know you like *them*, not just a girl, of which you happen to be one. Personalization rather than extravagance accomplishes this goal.

• Tough guy - not a fan of these wimpy, púss type guys - must be able to handle themselves with words (and physically if necessary)
• Must dress like a man - no wearing women's skinny jeans.
• Intelligent !!! I love a great conversation with knowledgeable people
• FUNNY - big fan of sore-sides belly laughs - required frequently
• HOT! Nice teeth, wide back, big hands.0
