Ladies: what qualities in a man do you like/dislike?

You ladies are so funny......a good man IS hard to find.

He'd have to be very intelligent, great sense of humor, handy around the house, no couch potatoes, like to travel, plenty of money and look like an older version of George Clooney....how is that for problematic and rare. I really think he is an endangered species.
 

Scratch Putin. Not quite what I had in mind. See? I told you I couldn't remember.

He'd have to be kind, tolerant, mild-mannered, reasonable and not "uber" anything. I'm not fond a zealots of any stripe. He'd also have to love his family but not be so involved in his kids'/grandkids' lives that he wouldn't have any time for me.
 

Well I have to say Cookie you seem to have found me the perfect man in that link.:D..'cept hunni...he has no head...and really he can't look me in the eye when he's talkin' if he has no head ...now please find me a whole one.. :eek:k:
 
I think the guys on here are going to get even, but before that happens, I might as well say it, ear and nose hair, trim it up fellas!!:lol1:

I know, you are thinking you gals need to do that too, but hey, do we get that??
 
I can!! You are very intelligent, I like a guy with brains! In fact, I was the gal that prayed to meet a nutty professor type like Jimmy Stewart in "No Highway in the Sky" LOL:)

Josiah, I see you have a sense of humor, your tall, intelligent and helpful around the house. You definitely get points for those things.
 
As I look back over the trail of wreckage . . . oops, I mean, as I look back over the lovely memories of men I've been involved with over the years, one thing that stands out is that I seem to have a definite preference for men from the Midwest. Why? Well, it's not because I favor guys who like casseroles made with tater tots. And it's not because I like to hear guys mispronounce the word "guarantee". I think it's because of those good old Midwestern Values: Honesty, integrity, lack of pretense, wry humor and steadfast loyalty. Gets me every time. :love_heart:
 
I like men who are compassionate. Show me a guy who loves animals and I think here's a man with sensitivity, a very attractive quality to me. I also like men who are creative, artistic, successful and visionary. And a man who cares about the needs of a woman. Necks and noses are not super important though I do like little noses on men. I think it's cute.

Naw, we don't get the nose and ear hair but we do get chin hair. :p
 
I like a man with a nice bum/butt, compassionate, always stays calm in emergencies and knows what to do, nice to kids and animals, funny, responsible with money, good cook, not too big a beer belly, not lazy, nature lover.

My sis just met a fella about a month ago, they are on a picnic/date today in fact. I finally got to meet him this a.m. I am not easily taken in by "plastic" people, or someone that, just isn't a good person. Ok, I liked this man, and although I do know some things about him, like he was married 36 years, lost his wife to cancer, so that tells me he believes in commitment, that's my take anyway. What I liked about him, was he was not trying to impress anyone, quiet, gentlemanly, big smile and attentive to my sis, calls her, asks her if she wants to go fishing, picnic, comes down from about a 150 miles to see her, and spend the day. He seems like the type that is easy going, been to hell and back (3 tours in Viet Nam). He's right for my sis, she's quiet, not talky like me, or goofy like me.

I guess that's all I got for now, lol;) Just been real happy for her meeting a nice feller:)

Map reading is important as I'm crap at it. I rely on my DH unless I'm alone and have no option. He's always amazed at my lack of sense of direction. But I remind him that I drove all over Ireland using paper maps by myself and only got lost once.

Tsk, tsk. You mean the OTHER side of the road. ;) And now that I've been driving on the left for 15 years driving in the US throws me into a tizzy!! And all those turn lanes and stop signs drive me nuts!
 
To me it will always be the wrong side - but I admire you for your ability to adjust.
