    At this point?

    A relationship status that is ACTUALLY single.
    And a little f*cking honesty.

    I don't wanna be second place. I don't wanna be a side dish. I'm a big girl. I wanna be the main effin' course!
    Sheesh.

    I'm attracted to a man without shame. One who is very forward with his intentions, laughs at (or even makes) potentially offensive jokes if he thinks they're funny, doesn't bother blaming it on the dog, does his own thing and doesn't really care what people think of him, you know.

    I don't know why. I just think the sense of careless freedom that comes with not giving a **** is so sexy.

    Ok...I've got to say it.

    These threads make me laugh! All the wonderful women (there's TONS of them on MFP, and in this thread!) posting up such simple lists.

    If that's all you were looking for, lovely ladies...I promise you wouldn't be single lol.

    Honesty, humor, intelligence, and compassion. A desire to enjoy life and be of service to others. A willingness to go with the flow and the ability to stand his ground. Hard worker. A sense of adventure. A team player. A love and respect for nature. Someone who knows what he wants and has the motivation to go after it. Kindness. Trust worthy. Quiet confidence. That last quality I find super sexy!

    My friend said it perfectly here!!!

    I want a man who's married. And I want his wife too!

    Honesty, trust, communication, and respect are essential. Other than that it just depends on the person.

    here's my top ten list of things I like in a man. I want someone who does the following

    1-Eat my cooking and praise it
    2-Open my jars
    3-Work a full time job until the age of retirement (Salary may be low as long as job satisfactions and room for desired growth are high)
    4-Play with my animals
    5-Play video games and board games with me (Not complain about losing is a bonus. Bragging about winning is always acceptable.)
    6-Tolerate my bad days as I tolerate his
    7-Go on walks/hikes with me
    8-Split my ice cream with me so I don't feel guilty
    9-Enjoy being around me most days (I recognize that I am a bear sometimes so "all days" is not a requirement
    10-Pretend he didn't see me talking to myself for the 90th time today

    7 and 10 are optional, 2 is not

    Oh, and cheating is fine so long as I get 3/4 or more of the net worth and his balls in the divorce settlement.

    It's a hard question to answer because all women are different, just like all men are. I could tell you what I look for in a man, but that would just be my preferences. There was an EXCELLENT podcast by Dan Savage once on this subject and he summarised it on his online column at The Stranger but it's a bit explicit so Google "Dan Savage Advice for Young Men" at your peril. The only bit I would change is that I would put the hot body Dan mentions a bit further down on the list. Personally, I like guys of all shapes, from Edward Norton to Jack Black.

    Bushy nostril hair is always a turnoff. Dunno if that helps.

    ~ He should have a positive outlook on life, even when things aren’t always perfect ... he can accept and deal with the bumps along the way. He would always make me laugh with his great sense of humor. And most of the time, he is someone who is very fun and enjoyable to be with. There needs to be a sense of commitment ... He has to be someone who is reliable and trustworthy. I would know deep down in my heart that I can always count on him for support, understanding, and comfort. Most importantly, I can trust him that he won’t deliberately do things or make decisions that would hurt me or our relationship.

    His communication skills would be incredible ... He would listen empathetically and patiently to the things I say without being judgmental ... He would entertain my point of view before providing solutions or advice. He is able to get his message across and conveys his thoughts effectively with a pure sense of caring and understanding. He would respect me and treat me as an equal partner by valuing my opinions and genuinely wants to understand my thoughts. He discusses things with me before making important decisions. He respects me, my family, my friends, my choices, my career, and my space ... privacy.

    And the now best part ... he would be affectionate, sensitive, and extremely romantic ... He would know how to express his love and care for myself through simple, affectionate gestures like hugs, kisses, holding hands, calls, text messaging, saying “ I love you ” and never feeling less of a man because he is completely in touch with who he is ... inside and out. He would be attentive and sensitive to my needs, and would cheerfully do little things to make me happy, loved and cared for. He would be appreciative and forgiving ... He wouldn't take me or the relationship for granted ... He appreciates me and the things I do for him on a daily basis. He doesn’t hold grudges when I unintentionally hurt his feelings or make mistakes. He forgives and moves on.

    He deeply believes and feels that life is wonderful and worth living and he’s committed to life long learning and self development. He has other passions in life other than myself, for example his work, hobbies, interests, friends, kids, family, sports, and fitness. He takes good care of himself and doesn’t rely on me entirely for his happiness.

    He is confident, but not arrogant ... Men are born leaders, protectors, and providers. However, in order for a woman to genuinely and deeply admire, adore, and respect a man, he has to be competent to begin with ... and that comes with the desire to be the best version of himself he can possibly be.

    One last thing ... He would have to be fitness oriented and put his health first. To have a lot in common is the only way a relationship is worth having ... cause without it, you just have another acquaintance in life.

    If I had to sum it up in just a few words ... He would be a great lover ! :wink:

    got to be hilarious and be able to laugh at himself, hardworking, a "manly" man (not these little metros WTF???), non smoker, no drugs, knows how to be romantic (but I wouldn't expect it all the time) puts the toilet seat back down (lol), taller than me, When he holds me...I want to feel safe in his arms, and wouldn't mind watching a "chick flick" every now and then.

    In the past: cocky, arrogant, tall, black hair, dark eyes, nice body, party animal (I was attracted to this.)

    Now: my boyfriend....wonderful, loving, care, sweet, handsome, brown hair, hazel eyes, passive, doesn't like to drink, would rather take care of me....


    And it's perfect. Want and deserve are very different things.

    First and foremost, honesty.

    And he has to be able to laugh my bad jokes and indulge me whenever I start yapping on about random topics that interest me.

    I also wouldn't mind a guy who's a bit innocent when it comes to romance =)

    I don't know...

    I figure once I know what I'm looking for, I'll probably start looking for it.

    But right now? Haven't a clue.

    You know what....I've come to the conclusion that if we (male or female) stuck to their "lists" of what they were looking for in the opposite sex, then the majority of us would be single anyway. No-ones perfect.

    I once had what I thought made me happy, but there were issues on both sides. Love's still there, just not enough. And you know what...I've found that the only person who can make me happy is....me. Would just be nice to share it with someone who shares the same philosphy on life.

    I'm not gonna list what I'd prefer in a man, because I know in reality, no-one can tick ALL the boxes.


    When you think you've found that someone, life has a way of sending you on a roller coaster ride after which it steers you in the opposite direction, which sucks!
