Women Only: What are you looking for in a man?

[dilettante]

 

[birdy]

I would say good character and all that encompasses. Honest/Trustworthy. I will have your back and you should have mine; loyalty. Sense of humor.

 

[Ruthanne]

I look for kindness, caring, honest, okay to look at, can support himself, chemistry that attracts me. There may be more but it's all I can think I look for now.

 

[MidLifeMichelle]

I don't think I have a type. I just know it when I see it. From past experience, easygoing, sense of humor, and likes to snuggle up. And someone who will change the lightbulbs in ceiling fixtures.

Not looking, enjoying my freedom too much.

Already have it .. he's my best friend.

 

[Raddragn]

Haven't been looking in more than 20 years - been divorced 3 times and gave up after that. The whole concept of marriage is the problem - not men per se - although there are those with a very misogynistic view of women.

Does he have teeth?

Yes and I put them in to soak every night.

I'm with someone presently but not remarried. If I were looking for a man I'd like someone who remembers the same times that I do and who felt the same way about them. Having a lot of common ground.

I would like an intelligent, kind and loyal man. I've dated most of my life until my mid sixties. It's hard to find anyone to date let alone one who is still looking. I just ask for kindness.

 

[KSav]

I am absolutely, totally done. I'm perfectly happy being on my own and independent.

I was married for 35 years. It was a matter of 'til death do us part. Not interested at this age.

Lesley Gore was quite the feminist before it was popular to be a feminist. She was a favorite of teenage girls who strained under the constraints that the then culture placed on females.

 

[Gardenlover]

Life is not fair, or sexist... lol

If I was looking for a man, he would have the tools I did not.

 

[MarkD]

I hear many echos of my own feelings about remarrying in old age. What we need are friends, not retread family.

 

[Warrigal]

My marriage of 61 years ended a couple of months ago. Every day I think about my husband and remember little snippets of our life together and I feel blessed to have had him.

I have no need of anyone else.

 

[Olivia]

Someone you can believe in. No, not making him a god, but close enough.

 

[Vicky]

I envy those who are married. They have someone upon a daily basis (security, companionship, etc).

After 14 yrs of being a widow, trying to keep things going on my own, a guy walked into my life and woke up feelings that I buried. I never thought I would feel that way again. We had so much in common(interests), yet he dumps me at a drop of a hat.

I need and want someone to share a life with. That includes time, secrets, hurts, touching, go places with, have fun with, someone who can make me laugh again, etc. Someone to take care of me at my low points. Someone who will be there for me. Of course, the magic of attraction needs to be there as well. Doesn’t have to be a muscle builder, but can’t be a slob. I hate those who let their beards go (no grooming).

Where is he???

 

[Manatee]

Does he have teeth?

I want a male version of myself. I always thought that Dirk Bogarde would have been ideal for me, even though he turned out to be gay.

OK, I know this thread is "women only", but I do have something to add....

I was "between wives" for 14 years (age 42-56). Between work, clubs, Church, and through friends, I met a lot of divorced women. I was/am a pretty good listener, and eventually came to the conclusion that basically, most ended up looking for a "nice guy with a job".

Early on they looked for the "hunks" and the "slicks" (like my ex did), but most soon realized that was all superficial.
Finding a nice guy, with a sense of humor, and gainfully employed soon became what they were looking for.

For what its worth.....

That certainly helps.

I've dated most of my adult life. Looks always came in last, in my wants. I want loyal, loving, steady Man. Not an adult man whom I have to raise.
I don't think I have a lot of requirements but please know I must have someone to trust. What can we or I ask for at this point. Just a really good guy who gets along with people and have some smarts
Fun question.
