I'll take short, dark hair, blue eyes ... oh wait this isn't the men's catalog thread.

Kindness, consideration and in general, being a grownup go very far with me. But I won't deny a certain chemistry needs to be there as well. I'm not talking about looks necessarily, either. I've had chemistry with some who weren't above average looks wise. I don't usually know about chemistry without a physical presence, so it has something to do with them personally. Ie, I can never tell about chemstry from just a photograph.

I'd like to meet a man who has a heart for and is committed to God and family...someone I can emotionally connect with and who will be my best friend...a man who is strong, dependable, sensitive, loving, caring, patient, honest, faithful, funny, and playful who is young at heart...someone who enjoys live music and attending Christian music events/coffeehouses. I'd like to meet a man who is content with the simple things in life...someone who will be as crazy about me as I will be about him...someone who I can feel completely at ease with...like we've known each other forever...someone I don't NEED to be with but WANT to be with...someone who I can love, cherish, walk beside, pray with, read the Bible with, and serve The Lord with.

Maybe what I've written above seems very unrealistic to some, but I don't wish to just SETTLE for someone, and I don't wish to have anyone SETTLE for me.

From my livejournal...

So what does Jo want in a man...
(In no particular order)
Someone who doesn't think it is strange to enjoy walking in the rain getting soaked to the bone.
Someone who doesn't think it is strange to make snow angels even at my age.
Someone who doesn't think it is strange to climb trees.
Someone who thinks it is cool to let the woman pop the hood and fix your car.
Someone who appreciates a woman who knows the proper use off all power tools. (and does projects without breaking nails)
Someone who laughs at my jokes even while giving me a withering look cause they just weren't funny.
Someone who appreciates a woman that no matter how bad her day was smiles because they are home and their day may have been worse.
Someone who appreciates the back rub when it is found their day was worse.
Someone who will rub my back if it is found that my day was worse.
Someone who will not argue which day was worse and just thumb wrestle for who gets the first back rub.(rock, paper, scissors can be substituted if neither has the energy to fight with thumbs)
Someone who does not let me win all arguments even if I hold my breath.
Someone who acts as if they understand or care about computer programming when I have just created this amazing program.
Someone who understands that every new day is a gift from God and should be lived....
Someone who enjoys on occasion laying on the grass watching clouds go by.
Someone who agrees that the cloud could look like Warren Buffett.
Someone who makes me feel special.
Someone who wants to feel special.
Someone who understands that I lose it from time to time and the easiest way to fix it is to remind me to breathe.
Someone who likes to cuddle.
Someone who doesn't laugh at me when I jump after thunder.
Someone who thinks it is cool that I am not afraid of mice.
Someone who loves water but can't explain why.
Someone who thinks it is perfectly normal to want to climb up the side of a mountain.
Someone who will tell me when I am being irrational.
Someone who understands the importance of kissing.
Someone that reminds me to feel when I am being too analytical.
Someone who reminds me to slow down and think when I am being too emotional.
Someone who sees that my mind is not like anyone else's but finds the beauty in it.
Someone that when I look in their eyes I just know the world is a wonderful place because they are here.

I reserve the right to add to this whenever I please.

I'll take Bill Gates with a face transplant from Robert Downey Jnr and I'd like him to wear shoes with a slight heal so he appears taller.

It's funny, till I found these boards I really didn't see it this way. I would've just said a Robert lookey likey with as much or as little money as he'd got and of any height but preferably under 6'

It is truly amazing what you can discover about yourself

Does it help that I especially enjoy eating bugs once they've crawled into your clothes?

It's very useful to be able to call your mate at 10:00 pm in his office and have him answer the phone.

Guess time with you isn't front and center?

[quote=tjlpd;709635]A question to which I am not sure I know the answer. Long term I want a man of good character, honest, loyal, hard working, smart, cultured, funny, good with kids, loves me enough to put my needs in front of him at times (and of course I would love him enough to put his needs in front of mine).

Shorter term I wonder about this. I am like Vicky in the movie Vicky, Christina Barcelona. I have always dated the right guy but right now I want the passionate artist type. I want the passion and crazy love thing right now. Maybe I am too old for it. I have children so I have to think of them as well... but some crazy wild passion would be great right about now.

Editing to add-not bitter and yes attractive to me but there is not a only one thing that is attractive-I generally prefer dark headed guys but I have found lighter headed guys attractive as well so there is no set criteria here. [/quote}
Funny to see this come back...I have found a guy who is very passionate...we definetly have that part down. (he is not an artist but other things make up for that). I think he fits most of my first paragraph requirements. Downside...he is not healed from his divorce. I am diving in on this one. I may regret it but it seems worth the risk.
