Ladies, what do you look for in a man?

Skinny white nerds that are intelligent and sweet. :p
The world needs more women like you. :rommie:

Lovely, Iintelligent, good humored and witty? Seconded! :D
Yes, that, too. :cool:

Thoughtful, intellectual, funny, and just a little cynical. Someone who is Atheist but Humanist, whose politics and beliefs are in sync enough with mine to allow mutual respect and understanding, even if we don't agree on everything. Someone who is physical, who likes to get out but is also happy to stay in and play Scrabble, watch TV, or read together in bed. A man who takes care of himself and delights, just a little, in fashion. Someone who loves me, but who will give me plenty of space. Ideally a man who needs a lot of alone time, because I need a lot of alone time.
I would love a man who can sing and maybe play the piano; who'd write little melodies and sing them to me. And he'd have a delicious accent. But that's me getting all girly and giddy.

As for appearance, I will not say it is unimportant, because that's ridiculous. However, I find that an attractive personality will greatly change my perception of a man physically, so that men whom I might not initially be attracted to become very physically attractive to me. As general rules I tend to be attracted to tall, thin to fit men who are quirky in appearance in some way.

Funny, nerdy and kind would be some great personality traits.

Tall, average weight and dark hair is what I tend to like. In the looks department, I'm with JiNX with the unconventional good looks :techman:

I like a man who is independent (no mommy issues), employed (no leeching), but plays nice with others (no anger management issues).

Actually, I expect your alter ego says it all, Trippy.

Indeed :p

Who is that in your av, Trippy?

It is Robert Pattinson poking a little fun at his 'Edward' character from Twilight

Thanks, J. :)

Took a long time, but she finally found me...

Always nice to hear a happy ending. :)

You can learn much about a woman's preferences from her avatar. :D

OH......dear. :eek:

:guffaw:
 
It's been a long time since i was single, so i hope it's ok that i give my two cents. I found that the greatest loves of my life ended up being guys that i was friends with first.

Example: A friend of mine had a guy friend who i happened to meet one day by chance. I distinctly remember seeing him for the first time and thinking to myself how unattractive he was. Well, she introduced us and we slowly became friends. We all hung out in a pretty large group, so i would see him often (and he did live in the same neighborhood). We hung out, talked a lot, and more than anything, we laughed a lot. After a few weeks i looked at him one day and ...damn! He looked so good! I had never seen him in that way before! I found that i was suddenly very attracted to him. After another few weeks i let him know how i felt. Turned out he felt the same way. So we dated exclusively and were together for a good period of time.....

Anyway, most of the good relationships i had started out as friendships. In most of those cases i wouldn't have said the guys were any particular "type".
 
Am I a bad person if I add wealth to my list? I'm not materialistic, and it's not a definite requirement. Nor do I want to be supported and have an easy ride. But I just can't help thinking lately how nice some luxury would be!
 
I'm kinda biting my tongue here since the moralist is saying that's terrible, but the realist in me totally gets it. Especially since my current state is pretty damned poor I can totally dig where you're coming from.

I wouldn't say "wealth". But "work ethic" and ability to hold a job would definitely be things I would look for in a man, unless I ended up being the one whose job was bringing in enough money that my husband could retire and care for the children full time. (And no, I would not have a problem with that scenario if it did come to pass.)
