5 Qualities

United States
January 18, 2008 9:31am CST
I just got done listening to my radio station, and 2 of the guys came up with a list of 5 qualities they think the woman needed in a man. Then she read her own list. They matched pretty well. This got me thinking about the most important qualities for myself, that I would look for in a man. Here's my list (I am taking some from her-because I guess we feel the same way! lol): 1. Loyal/Honest/Trustworthy 2. NonSmoker/Light(social)drinker 3. Does NOT have to be rich, but has to be able to support himself. 4. Has a sense of humor 5. Good Hygiene (has to be clean) **An accent would be a plus ;P lol** What's your list (guys and girls)?

My list is quite extensive: 1. Must be funny and able to make me laugh 2. Faithful/loyal/honest/trustworthy 3. Has to make more money than I do (most men have a complex if the woman makes more money) 4. Must be affectionate (but not smothering) 5. Must be spontaneous and adventurous 6. Must be independent 7. Must be financially responsible 8. Must be GIB ;) 9. Cannot smoke 10. Must like baseball more than football! lol

tall! hehe. Yeah I would at least want the guy to be taller than me, but height wouldn't really be a big necessity. I mean...I don't want a guy that's 6'' shorter than me or anything. I just mean...a tiny bit shorter wouldn't be terrible.

Isn't it funny how our list changes...When I was young he had to be rich, gorgeous and wildly sexy. I've grown up and re-done that list several times. Now, it's: Honest and Faithful Decent and Loving Have a Sense of Humor Able to Weather a Storm Able to Support himself I guess the outside is somewhat important but the inside is much more important to me. I've seen some really hot guys that need to be in a dog pound b/c they are such dogs. **AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~

I'm afraid I would need far more than five qualities in my man, but I'll try to condense them down into perhaps five groups. :) 1. Honesty/Loyalty/Integrity. 2. Compassion/Understanding/Supportive/Encouraging. 3. Open Minded, with the ability to hold a witty conversation in not just our own company but the company of both of our friends and acquaintances and newly introduced acquaintances. 4. A sense of adventure...love of the outdoors, Nature, and the Elements and also, an interest in the history of the Ancients. 5. A sense of responsibility, in maturity but at the same time, young at heart, and fun-loving. Not a lot really! ha ha ha. Of course, I would have to fulfill all those requirements too, in the hope that we would keep the same faith in each other. Brightest Blessings.

My list of five would be: 1. The first is as you listed--loyal, honest, Trustworthy. 2. Has to be able to support himself. 3. Good Hygiene would be a must for me. 4. Has to be able to laugh at himself. 5. Not as important as the others but be romantic. I think that most women look for the similar traits in a man but they also have a few differences that fulfill what they themselves are looking for personally.

Yeah I would like him to be romantic also, fun too! lol. But I'm not sure I would count it as one of my top 5. It might be part of my top 10 though!! I defeniatly would want someone who could laugh at themselves too. I tend to laugh when things do go so right for people =P

My list, is actually the man I found. 1. Loyal/Honest/Trustworty 2. Great sense of humor 3. Not rich, but has a very good and honorable career 4. Adventurous, loves to do things spur of the moment 5. Loves the outdoors Whatever your 'list' if you are lucky enough to find the man that fits, grab him and don't let him go. And remember ladies, looks aren't everything, even the best looking men age, some just better than others, but if you can hold a conversation on a daily basis, when those looks fade, it won't be an issue.
