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

Map reading? We don't need maps anymore; we have GPS (usually comes already built into the car).

How about a man who can hang a ceiling fan, install an electrical outlet, put up a shelf, replace a window or door screen AND figure out what to do when The Blue Screen of Death appears on a computer.

Nope no matter how you plead and beg young lady you're not having mine...;)
 
I had one like that, Hollydolly. That's why I mentioned those things. There were two like that? Well, now there's only one:( and you have him. Actually, he's probably much too young for me anyway. If I were looking, I'd be looking between the ages of 75-80, but I'm not looking. Good grief, I haven't even taken off my wedding ring yet!

My trip was in 1998. Don't even know if it was an option then in my rental car, but we used GPS soon after.

I've got one that can do all that as well. But I'm keeping him. He's 66.

It only took about two weeks to get used to driving on the left. Now the right side feels wrong. I much prefer roundabouts now as well, much more efficient than all the stoplights in the US.

When the US navy was in this area the sailors were always told never to say wrong side of the road, say other side.
 
They had a good time AM, and they are planning to get together again week after next, as her son, wife, my niece, and my bro are coming down. They are going to meet him, and give him a hard time, LOL!! 3rd degree, that kind of thing;)

He has a home up North, and sis has this place, so things can't move too fast. Don't know whether that is good or bad, depends on the people right;)

She did meet him online by the way;) Gives me hope that there might be someone out there for me (I know you guys, and some gals are praying for those unsuspecting fellers that might have the misfortune of meeting up with me, LOL). Anyway, they are enjoying each other. I love the fact he doesn't drink at all, my sis won't drink because any time she did when she was younger, she drank to the point of passing out in her scrambled eggs. This was only like once a year so she just didn't get enough practice I guess, LOL!!

Nice! Sounds good. Will either be willing to move if things get serious?
 
I have a hubby who can fix and build what ever he puts his hands also, He put up our back verandah 4 x 14 Mtrs on his own staring on his 60 th birthday,Built the shed 7 x 14 Mtrs , that was 8 years ago . After getting this home built the only people we paid to do anything here was for the cement paths and drive way, hubby added extra power points, put up ceiling fans ,made our TV antenna, (we needed a large one to pick up Adelaide TV)

I like men who are emotionally available. And willing/able to communicate. It is very difficult to maintain a relationship while sentenced to solitary confinement in your head.

That's a big one for me too. I love a man who will talk and listen and tell me what's on his mind.
 
A man who is perfectly capable of feeling whole without needing anyone else to complete him, he doesn't feel like he is missing something without another person to pull his life together, he's strong in mind, confidant, witty, compassionate, caring, has integrity and likes animals mainly dogs. :D One more very important thing, he isn't possessive. And this is why I shall remain single.

Hey April it sounds like you're describing yourself (not needing anyone to complete YOU) justifying why you've chosen to remain single. NOTE, I'm not dis'in anything you said.

Well many people want a mate with similar qualities, there are quite a few others to make a person whole outside of those. I am quite vulnerable alongside some of those qualities that I would want in a long term companion and have many other qualities as I would think the other person would have. It takes more than a few snippets to tell the entirety of what all there is to a person that really causes two people to really deeply care for each other in a way that makes them want to bond in a special way. I just described some of the things that are most important starting out where I won't instantly tune someone out as far as seeing them for long term potential.

And you are correct, I don't need anyone to make me feel whole, but, I sure need my friends and family to feel life if fulfilling.
