nice topic
 
hee hee, no height requirement, since im like 5'2 and majority of guys loom over me. Has to be SILLY (Sense of humor is a sexy attribute), financially stable, educated (can hold an intellectual conversation), well-mannered, must love sports or be semi athletic, likes to go out evening or sometimes hang out, sensitive, honest (trustworthty), ambitious, and someone who is real. We all mess up, its not a big deal. Just have a good head on.

Oh, it doesnt hurt if they're a good dancer either :)

I forgot good hygeine - clean hands and nails, clean cut business casual type... short hair...manners is a huge thing...that includes table manners...my pet peeve is a someone who eats with their mouth open and makes all those weird piggy noises :o - Also a guy with a lot of girl friends...has close relationships with the women in his life (related or unrelated)...a guy who treats the women in his family & social surrounding with respect will treat you with respect too!

volgirl2376 11-23-2001 04:38 PM

girl friends = female friends :D

LeslieAGD 11-23-2001 04:39 PM

Well, my ideal man is actually the one I have right now :) , but in any case...

above 5'6", my age or older, non-smoker, intelligent, makes me laugh, has direction in his life, treats me with respect, holds my hand in public, is not relationship-phobic, and makes me feel like I am a top priority.

i used to have a height requirement..not really so much anymore, has to be smart, funny, easy to talk to, similar tastes in movies & music, never been married, can't have kids, has to be under the age of 25(those are my recent additions to the requirements :) ), and if he's jewish it can't hurt(hmm..i just described dj perfectly..hmm)

alphaxidelta12 11-23-2001 07:04 PM

my ideal man.....
 
would at least be taller than me and at least my age. would have short hair (i am not a hair fan, which means no chest hair either). intelligent, funny (love a guy who can make me laugh), has a sweet side (does all those little things that most guys think are stupid), active (would be involved in dirt bike racing, a certain sport, or something fun and exiciting that i could go watch him do and cheer for him for), would have to own a street bike (crotch rocket...no big huge harleys or anything) that we could ride all the time, and i would want him to be financially stable (don't want a guy mooching money off of me all the time). he would need to make me feel like i was something special and would respect me as a person.

i know this seems like a lot of stuff...but that would be my IDEAL man

LexiKD 11-23-2001 09:33 PM

Ideal man would take too long, but here are some starters...

Has to be funny

Has to have a job, I mean career...

Has a car, Yukon in a perfect world!

Has to treat his Mother well

Has to know where Tiffany's is located and likes the idea of spending many months of his salary on big diamonds...

Has to be cute, not drop dead, but cute...

Has to be social...don't have to worry about him at a party

Has to have all his teeth....none of which are gold/platnium

KA, Sigma Chi, PKA....would be nice!

Has to like the idea of family, but not so much that he still lives at home!

Has to know when we marry his dating life is over, happened to my sister, it wasn't pretty!

Has to like pictures, I travel with film and he cannot be camara shy...

Has to get along with my friends

Has to have his own friends

Has to like sports, not ping pong, I mean baseball/football/soccer..

CANNOT BE A DALLAS COWBOY FAN!

I am sure there is much more, but that's all for now...

Alright, i'm not buyin it, none of you, except one, made a big deal about the ideal guy being in great shape. My guess is either a) ya don't want to seem shallow or b) ya aren't being straight up. Even if it is not a big deal, women (at least the one's I've spoken with) ALWAYS mention a healthy body as part of an ideal man. From personal experience in viewing myself both physcially and mentally, a healthy body equals a healthy mind, for both men and women. Women (again, the ones i know) are very in tune to the relationship between a man's fitness and his overall disposition. Nevermind the biological advantages a fit guy has over the beer gut dude, humans are BUILT to be drawn to visual appeal, its in the DNA baby!;)

I was being straight up - I dont look for guys who are in GREAT shape..mainly because I dont want a guy to overlook me because of my shape. I agree that looks totally matter, but in the end, personality wins out. I would rather be with an average looking guy with an awesome sense of humor and intelligence than a stud with a hot body that was full of himself! :D

I put average build because I don't a want a skinny, whimpy man and I don't want a man who is too big either.

I don't want a fat man but if they are a puggy I don't mind at all, I am thin, but am blessed with a good metabolism-but if you ask me to exercise I could do that for about 10 minutes and then pass out. I HATE to exercise and I don't want to date a guy that is obsessed over going to the gym or about how much wt. he lifts per day and I don't want him questioning my fitness.

BTW I like:

at least 6' tall

brown hair

brown eyes

I could care less if he is rich or if he is a janitor just that he loves me and has had some type of job (I have had too many moochers)

he must not live at home with momma (have had too many of these)

not in school (have had too many of these-see moochers comment)

has some sort of fashion sense besides just a t-shirt and jeans

has to like animals esp. cats

ErikaXO 11-24-2001 12:42 AM

I pretty much have my ideal.....here are my requirements (I won't tell which he has and which he lacks but he doesn't lack much)

Taller than me....(I'm 5'8) but not too tall.
Not too skinny or gangly, I like some muscle but not one of those steroid freaks.
Preppy boy/executive dresser type.
Mentally stable!!!! (I have dated some certifiable lunatics)
Tough and strong enough to protect and defend me (though I can usually take care of myself....remind me to tell the oh so embarrasing fight story sometime....)
Very comfy financially
NOT a tightwad
NOT too jealous or possessive, but jealous enough to make me feel good
A sexual virtuoso (but not a former pig....in other words if he can't remember the names of everyone he's slept with or the number is higher than his age, BUH-BYE!) I have found that the more partners they have had, the lousier they are in the sack....
A sexual adventurer....(gotta be open minded because I'm the try it all once type)
Class and couth
Dark hair, not too short and not too long, gotta be conservative
Great teeth/smile
Goatee ok but must be neatly clipped/shaved
Not a big fan of back hair
Handsome, masculine face, defined features, nice cheekbones, long eyelashes, full sexy lips
Nice butt
Has to appreciate the finer things in life (see above....no tightwads)
Has to love animals
Can't think of much else. Has to be my friend as well as my lover. We need to have some laughs. Has to appreciate my raunchy humor and my guy's girl attributes. Has to share Playboy with me.
Lets me play with my hair and makeup without getting all pissy about the changes....
No golddiggers or gigolos!!!!!
That about covers it

AlphaChiS2K 11-24-2001 01:24 AM

I don't want a man in great shape either.... they're nice to look at, but when it comes down to it, I want something to hold onto at night :) I'm all about the cuddling....

Also, he needs a great sense of humor, not afraid to be a complete goofball with me and not make me feel dumb when I act like a complete goofball, hate mushrooms, hate the Yankees and the Steelers, love to eat, like outdoorsy stuff but also be perfectly happy to spend the day in bed, like children- no, scratch that, LOVE children (there's nothing sexier than a guy who likes and is good with kids), not own anything Prada, someone who drops the forehead kiss, likes dogs better than cats, knows Pablo Neruda, especially Sonnet XVII, familiar with a wide range of literature, know how to change the oil in my car, loves his family, loves my family, will take me dancing, knows something about wine, has a great smile, loves old movies, doesn't smoke, doesn't drink rum when he knows we'll be making out later, likes freckles and red hair, respects me, thinks I'm gorgeous, wants to kiss me and love me and marry me!

I'll probably think of more, but does that cover it for now?
