Jealous of what? Himself? Nah, not likely.

So please don't tell me physical appearances don't count. eHarmony used to not allow people to show their photos, until communication started. Now that we have that option, it seems like no one wants to communicate unless you have a photo up-front.
Friends aren't going to look at a profile the same way that someone looking for a relationship will, all that you proved was that your friends like you and that there are some superficial women hung up on a hot bod, the same as there being men hung up on boobs like zeppelins.

Why shouldn't people want to see a photo first? It'll tell them if you look crazy or not for a start. Nice wrapping on a present is only an issue until you open it, then you either like what's inside or you donate it to the charity shop.

I've started and stopped writing this twice now...

It's not that I don't know...it's that I didnt know how strongly I felt about it!

If I cry watching TV commercials tonight or something I will know this question was not the problem, it's just that kind of day...

I will say, one thing that has become more important to me as I've matured...is also someone, mature who has been through lifes ups and downs and can handle them well. Likely someone who has been married or in serious relationships already who has more realistic ideas about love. And likes it, is glad they got that all out of the way so real life can start!

IceCreamMoon you hit the nail on the head for me, "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." . My list keeps changing, but its the chemistry that makes me go "gaga!" Love that feeling...

I think my list would look like most others - good character, finacially stable and savvy, attractive, good coping skills, honest, driven, cultured with an edge, mad swag, good personality, good sense of humor, etc. etc. When it comes to the physical traits, the person's personality, sense of humor and SWAG, can make up for the parts that he is lacking physically (like height, or weight). Lets face it, as you get older those physical traits change, so there HAS to be more substance!!

hahah...you have the nerve to say that i am not entirely truthful. its just your opinion. i don't know why you have not been snatched away yet. but you will. i don't know you. from what i read your replies, if you are a bit younger, i may consider so as other guys here, like jayjay. but jayjay has too many female friends in his friend list; i am afraid they may steal him away one day; he doesn't like to pay for the dates anyway. LOL

looks is secondary. the person's character is primary, for me.

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.
