Just wondering what all are the qualities, external or internal, that you would look for in a person before you propose. If you are married kindly share what you looked for in your spouse. And if you unmarried what are the things you would look for as you consider a person.

I'm a GUY, so I'm going to go all reverse psychology on you and tell you what I look for in a girl. Personality - I don't want some crazy drunk sorority chick, but I don't want a quiet, corner-room personality either. Intelligence - I'm a newsjunkie by heart. I want to be able to talk to someone about what's going on in the world everyday and not get a blank stare back at me across the breakfast table. Humor - Sarcasm works wonders in my book, FTR. Attitude - Someone who is not afraid to speak their mind is awesome because it shows you stand up for what you believe in. No far-left-Liberals; No far-right Repub's por favor. Self-esteem - I'm not looking for the next Eva Longoria, but she has to take care of herself fairly well. Self-upkeep (gym, healthy eating, healthy lifestyle) is great. Yep, ladies, and is it any surprise I'm currently single. ;) j/k

I'll look for a loyal type of guy:) Altho he doesn't have looks, but at least he has pure heart. And i love when guys chasing me. That's one thing i couldn't refuse to. I get melted when guys doesn't stop from chasing my heart. I see it as a sacrifice for having me in their life. I don't know why:) And yeah, fulls of respect. Must know how to respect my fam, my feelings and all. One more thing, I'm looking for a guy who accept me for who i am:) And i found it already. - My current bf

Things I look for in a guy is that he doesn't pay attention to care what others think of him. He moves to the beat of his own drum. He has a sense of humor, creative in some way. It's hard to really say what I look for in a man. I mean I love my current boyfriend for who he is which is everything I described.

In a guy, I always look for love n care...apart frm being true n faithful. He always should be capable enough to protect us frm any kind of difficulties n should understand us in every walk of lyf.

Hm. I'd say I want someone who really loves me. Despite my flaws. I want him to be a determined man, someone who's got dreams and wants to achieve them. I want a sensitive guy. He'd understand me and yet he'll fight for his own opinions. I want someone strong and who'll be there when I need help. Romantic, caring, a gentleman, a sweetheart, a funny guy. I know he probably sounds perfect just about now. But I also want him to have many flaws. Still, he should know when he has it and would be willing to change. I also want a tall guy. =)

this is very vague for the sense that we al have standard in choosing our mate but for some reason when we have that someone the one in the list is intirely different only one thing will remain the same..that someone is the person you love the most regardles of what qualities that person has... if this makes sense though...

The comment is not vague, but I am afraid if love is the only category needed for marriage. I am sure you have other things in mind. Because the guy if you love has some loose moral character... say he is willing to sleep with different people cos that's his value system, I wonder if love will keep you guys together. Maybe, but I shall be surprised then... anyway, good luck to you!

depending on how i met the person...My current boyfriend a friend told me here talk to this guy while i do this and handed me a phone. We talked for ages on the internet and phone before i ever met him and it was his personality and sense of humor that caught my attention. Physically its his eyes his smile and the fact that he likes to cuddle that attract me. If i meet someone in person its the smile the eyes and how they interact with others that attract me. The hottest guy in the world could be the biggest jerk in the world and i wouldnt be attracted to him because of that.
