I have read the ladies replies to this question with interest.

Somehow methinks that you are not being entirely truthful here. If what really mattered was "honest, don't lie, don't cheat, don't deceive, a clean character, loyal, hard working, smart, cultured, funny, good with kids, loves me, etc." then I and most other guys would have been scooped up a long time ago.

islandrain is the only honest one, it is really all about the eye candy. And all you women are always saying that men are visual and that all we focus on is looks.

I'm trying to think of how I would change this for me, but it looks pretty good as is. I'll just change out "kind" for "puts up with my family" (my family is pretty easy to put up with...lol).

Gr8Guyn2008 - Spider is a good example of a woman not focusing just on the externals, especially height, when she met her great match.

But, just because a man isn't tall or a hunk or look like Brad Pitt doesn't mean that he otherwise meets the other criteria that women might list. Nonetheless, reality is that "most other guys" actually do get scooped up! Even if short, fat, plain, or whatever; most men (and their female counterparts) do find romantic partners (just as some tall, fit, and comely ones do not...).

You do realize that you are either a man or a frog - you can't just pick and choose whichever one suits you best each time .

Make up your mind already!

A man who makes me feel great about myself, him, us, the world around us (as much as possible) and the other people in it.

Salt of the Earth.
Steady as a Rock.
Someone I can lean on.
Knight in Shining Armor.
He can wrap duct tape around a radiator hose so we can limp into the next town with that car.
A man's Man.
Courage.
Strength.
The ability to pick himself up after a devastating loss.
Has the Will to find a Way to do anything.
Laughter. Every day.
I would rather do Nothing with him than Something with Anybody else.
I want the Finest man I have ever known.
He lives his life today with the idea that tomorrow morning he'll have to look in the mirror when he shaves.
Someone I can Admire above all others.

Wealth and Looks matter too, but long term, it's all about the Character!

Let's see:

Not too picky about looks as long is there he's taller than me, has nice eyes, and no insane amount of body hair
Must be fearless and not afraid to do something stupid or impulsive
Must share or tolerate my passion for rock music
Tattoos, the more the better
Must be gainfully employed and not hate his job
Must love me and accept my faults
Must be willing to accept my children
I think I may have met him. <3 <3

Someone who loves me for who I am. Of course, "tall, dark, handsome, smart, wealthy, generous and good personality" would be more ideal . . . I want it all!
