    honest
    loyal
    unselfish
    a man's man
    and somebody that knows who he is

    and possibly tall

    My boyfriend is all these and more and he is 6'5" :love: :blushing: :tongue:

    The ideal man would put his money in savings instead of buying roses so he could fix or buy a new appliance when it breaks. An ideal man would be handy or smart enough to know who to call and I'm not talking about his mother. The ideal man would be there when he's needed even if it's extremely uncomfortable for him, because he knows that she would be there for him. An ideal man would plan ahead. He would be respectful and kind. He would realize that no matter what 2 people can never really know each other.

    Smart, healthy, not technically or mechanically challenged. No mama's boy. And good in bed. Now that is a man.

    The "perfect" man would:

    *stand up to me and stand up for me with equal measures of passion for both

    *tall (6'2"+, athletic/muscular, dark hair, light eyes, strong shoulders, MUST HAVE CALVES - chicken legs annoy me, short hair, no body carpeting/relations to primates, good teeth, strong jaw...I'm picky so I'll stop there)

    *intelligent (doesn't need a dictionary/thesaurus to have a conversation above the 2nd grade level)

    *sense of humor (I live to laugh)

    *sarcasm and an appreciation for sarcasm returned

    *be more of a man than I am...

    Buff is nice and all that, but what really does it for me? A guy who can laugh, a guy with a great sense of humor who can laugh at himself but doesn't feel the need to laugh at others. A guy with a kind heart who can empathize with others. A guy who is responsible, is where he's supposed to be when he's supposed to be (or calls when he's going to be late). A guy who is smart and loves to learn. A guy who can commit--I don't necessarily mean relationship-wise, I mean a guy who keeps his word, who does what he says he's going to do. Responsible with money, honest, patient, and calm. A guy who doesn't drink to excess. A guy who's supportive and doesn't need to undercut or lessen the importance of other people's accomplishments in order to play up his own.

    Not a saint--he gets to screw up, we all do it.

    I can't say, "Totally buff" or "6'5" and blond" because I've met guys I thought were "smokin' hot" until I talked to them for five mintues (amazing how ugly someone can get), and I've met guys I didn't find at all attractive until we shared a 20 minute conversation (amazing how good looking someone can get!).

    My husband? Most of those good things most of the time, and my heart all the time.

    Laid back/eventempered
    Responsible
    Affectionate
    Able to have a conversation
    Supportive
    Willing to make me a part of his life and be a part of mine

    Attractive/good in bed doesn't hurt either :)

    Well first of all, the first thing I notice about someone is their eyes and smile. My husband has baby blues and after 24 yrs., they still make my heart melt.

    But to answer your question -

    - A sense of humor
    - Compassionate
    - Hard Worker
    - A good provider
    - Loving
    - Laid back and even tempered
    - Christian
    - Understanding

    Im sure there is more, but that's a start! :smile:

    A "bad boy", but with a sweet side that he shares only with his girl...

    (That's not all, of course, just adding to what the others have said :wink: )

    - honest
    - successful. By success I don't mean monetary success entirely. I think that if someone is genuinely happy with himself and his life, the choices he's making in the present -then he's successful. Fortunately for many people that sort of lifestyle choice has earned them money. But sometimes it doesn't.
    - emotionally available
    - stable. Emotionally and financially stable.
    - straight-shooter. Always up-front and says exactly what's on his mind. There is no guessing what he means, no interpreting actions, etc.
    - silly
    - confident. Not to be confused with being a pompous *kitten*.
    - passionate. Passionate about SOMETHING. Art, guitar-playing, nature, human interests, etc. Something. It adds texture.
    - cares about himself. I'm not talking about a health-nut. But overindulgence isn't healthy in any form for very long. He's concerned about his nutrition to some extent and exercises somehow to stay fit, both mentally and physically.

    - Very, very intelligent. I tend to favor book smarts... Advanced degrees are sexy.
    - Their career is something they love, and a part of their identity (it's true for me, and people with jobs just for money don't understand me.)
    - Funny. Very, very funny. This can be many different kinds of humor.
    - Communicative.
    - Supportive.
    - Warm.
    - Humane.
    - Open-minded and progressive.
    - Being very tall, very broad-shouldered, and a great head of hair doesn't hurt in my book. But those personality traits are far more important.

    I will admit a strong preference for geeks and artsy guys, as I am an artsy geek. I have dated programmers and professional musicians for a long time.

    As long as he keeps his mouth shut and doesn't talk all day long (yes, the roles are reversed in my marriage - he's the nagger). I still <3 him though anyways.
