Yes and I second the acting childish-but being mature at the same time-thingy.

Sherry Darling said:So a friend just showed me this article about how what couples should look for is someone their "voltage type"-ie, the intensity with which you throw yourself into life. That really struck me. I'm thinking i need someone fairly high voltage. Life ain't a dress rehersal.

And for any guy who asks himself that question, all I'd say is that as long as you're basically a good person, and you have your own ideas of what you'd like to do in life, and you are willing to love the woman and care for her and all that good stuff, I'd say that that's a pretty good offering . If some girl doesn't think that's good enough, I'd personally say she's crazy.
By the way, I too will agree with the "childish yet mature" thing as well as the "book-smart" thing. I may have said this before, but no harm in saying it again-intelligent men are sexy ...

Moonlit_Angel said:
Well, considering I don't really go for a lot of the "soap opera" buff hunky types, considering practically every guy I've ever liked has been of average weight and has had a big nose and skinny face and stuff like that, then he'd be all right with me . And the balding...hey, it happens to some guys as they get older. You can't fault them for that. And the beer belly-some women do find that attractive, actually, yes . I've seen many women wandering around town with guys who have the whole beer belly thing going on.
So in short, yeah, those guys still have a chance, too.

Hehe, well, has Wyoming ever been a place of interest to you? .

Soft yet manly voice.
Educated, naturally intelligent, worldly knowledge.
Calm mannered, laid back, not obnoxious or cocky.
Naturally witty, not-too-over-the-top sense of humour.
Polite with good manners.
Respectable towards women, pets, and children above the rest.
Good relationship with family, therefore good family values.
Not obese, not underweight. Muscles are optional, not preferred.
Excellent personal hygiene. No BO, unruly hair, dirt under nails, etc, hair kept short, nails clean and trimmed.
Evenly tanned skin, no farmers tan.

No overdosage on cologne, expensive yet used sparingly.
Neat, house is clean and organized. No slobs!
Must know how to cook, do laundry, and do other housework.
Income has to be over $40,000 (to help support our family).
Warm sensuality, sexual charisma, attractive to other women.
Open to other cultures and religion.
Liberal in politics, not too Democratish or Republicanish.
No racism, prejudism, conceitedness, homophobia allowed.
Knows a lot about charity- which band goes with which cause.
Either a Christian or Catholic (because of my religion).
Excellent vocabulary skills (not too focused with foul or four letter words) with good spelling. I hate when guys spell "Definitely" "Defiantly" those are two totally different words with two different meanings!
Socially accepted if not admired. Popular but not full of himself.
Ambitious and always willing to learn new things.
Generous. I hate when people are stingy and selfish.
No alcoholic or drug addicts, gamblers or people out of control.
Non-violent. Does not hit women under any circumstance.
Has athletic hobbies, doesn't just sit around watching television.
Has authentic interest in life, and in me.
Self-sufficient, doesn't rely on others.
Sympathetic, empathetic, and slightly sensitive. No crybabies.
Strong and protective.
I hate to be weird, but the eyebrows have to be a nice shape.
Good in bed, and good kisser.
*Notice I didn't focus much on how much money he has or his parents have, or where he lives, or where he came from, or what kind of car he drives. Most girls do go for that and looks, but as you get older, you find out that most of the qualities you base your preferences on will be the most disappointing. Most men do possess these qualities, so it keeps a lot of options open for me. Although I prefer men who are Catholic or Christian, it does not mean I rule out all others.

Its nice to know us Buddhists still have a chance
xtal said:I know I'm picky. But funny thing is, I have been seeing a man who owns all those qualities!
I would rather be single than with the wrong person. I've seen how women's lives are turned upside down by having a relationship with the wrong man.
