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

Shalimar, LOL, are you writing a relationship self-help book for seniors? Are we good research candidates?:D
 
LOL shalimar we're only pulling your leg.. :D

For me Pro's are generosity of spirit, and who can laugh at themselves, with a great sense of humour yet not too loud and too boisterous.. and who can be empathetic and supportive when the chips are down

Someone who is young at heart regardless of their age..and who would always want to explore new places and ideas

Cons for me... would be anyone who is the opposite of the above..
 
Hey, Holly, I am playing too,not offended by banter. I concur with your list, I think I would add a willingness to help out at home. If I have to do all the house stuff, this woman is going on strike. On an amusing note, when my family was young, I once instituted work to rule, because I felt unappreciated. After two weeks of no baking etc. people came around! Never underestimate the power of food and make your own blasted lunch! Lol.
 
Shalimar, just kidding of course, thanks for being a good sport!

Hope this is helpful.

Positive: Empathetic and understanding, intelligent, kind, positive outlook, good sense of humor, healthy physically and emotionally well balanced.

Negative: men who are sexist, selfish, narcissistic, easily irritated, mean, narrow minded, ignorant, lazy, sloppy
 
I guess maybe one of the guys should make a similar post. Wonder what the results would be....As Yul Brenner said in "The King and I", "Is a puzzlement!". OOPS! I see there is a post for men now.
 
Cookie, do you know any unattached men with these qualities? If so, may I please place my order ahead of the rush? Two please, I am feeling greedy today! Or perhaps need one for spare parts! Lol, lol, lol. Wicked, wicked, unrepentant me.
 
Shalimar, unfortunately, they are a rare species, sometimes seen roaming in packs on the slopes of the high Himalayas in late spring in search of wild berries and roots. Approach them with care, they will run away at great speed if startled. :D
 
Oh Cookie, HaHaHaHaHa! You made me laugh so hard I spilled coffee all over my least favourite shirt. Perhaps if I forget to wash it for a week the stain will set! Re men. Are you certain you are not referencing Yetis? If not, would you care to join me on a mountain safari? Bring Rohypnol.(spelling)?
 
Shalimar, a journey such as this will take long preparation and will be very costly. Hypnotics will not be necessary, as they easily succumb to the sound of softly ringing cow bells which can only be acquired from the local villagers.
 
Cookie, you are hysterical. Going into Virgo overdrive organization mode. How to fund is the question...I fear illegal activities are the only reliable financial source for me unless I sell my children. Thank you for the heads up regarding bells for boys! Lol.
 
Shalimar, don't do anything risky! I suggest a funding drive - selling homemade jams, baked goods, arts and crafts sale. Can you knit? Tourist season is coming up. It might take a while, but I know you can do it. Don't give up.
 
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:)

I could have written this, well, it's like "what she said". This describes the guy my sis has met. They are just so cute together, and yes, I'd like to meet someone like you described. That's so neat you know what to look for, I mean, I think you are wise;)

I hear you, Cookie. But I am a risk junkie. I don't knit, but I do belly dance. Perhaps would be paid more to not perform at this juncture? I will never give up!

LOL:) I was thinking you meant never give up on meeting someone, but maybe you meant you won't give up belly-dancing, good for you either way, LOL!

Cookies, cookies, I want cookies. You are so on the right track, or should I say you sound like something I would be thinking?
 
Men? I don't remember what I used to think were good qualities.

I guess if a man has his own place to live, his own car to drive, his own income and is literate, that might be about it.
