Features on Men

[mysterygal]

ditto on no having any animal heads hanging on the walls, and as for hunting, I'm way too much of a softie when it comes to animals, so I know I'd make about the worst hunter there was. Cowboys are cool....I love a good southern drawl....sense of humor MUST! I"m drawn to an sarcastic kind of humor the most. Anybody ever watch House M.D.? love it.

 

[humblestumble]

Good personality including respect, similar interests and humor

Knows how to swing dance, or dance at all

Physical features are last for me because they matter least of all in my world:

Eyes

lol I can't think of anything else, but my boyfriend has it all! It's really weird with me because I can think the person's ugly when I've never met them, and then fall in love and they turn out to be the handsomest guy ever, mentally AND physically.

So true!

 

[Lauren]

You know we love you, Doc! Say, haven't seen you about for a while. Are you still planning on moving to California?

 

[herringbonekid]

i think it's interesting how many ladies here still go for the traditional 'manly' characteristics such as firm jawline, broad shoulders, height etc.
for all the recent talk of the modern 'feminisation' of men it seems that genetically 99% of women are still hard-wired to the old visual cues.
(because they are the signs of healthy genes supposedly).

Did anybody mention $$$?

 

[mysterygal]

LOL...@$ money's nice...but personality far outways that...I've known too many women married to rich men who are miserable in their relationship...I've noticed that money can sometimes play a negative role in peoples lives, it seems they place more importance on that than anything else.....having a man that works for a living and bring home the bread and bacon does just fine.........and Indy...I think your just fishing for some compliments here, since you look like a model

 

[Miss Neecerie]

Did anybody mention $$$?

only you.....

 

[mysterygal]

I think guys worry too much about the money thing..tip: just be yourself and you'll be just fine

 

[Paisley]

Did anybody mention $$$?

Enough $$$ that I don't have to support him!

I watched my father go to work every day, so a good work ethic is something I expect. Fiscal responsibility is important to me, too. But as for someone who could turn me into a lady of leisure--first, I'd be bored senseless. Second, I don't care about status symbols. My $29 Talbots handbag holds my stuff as well as a Kate Spade, my Honda gets me around as well as a Lexus, and I wouldn't wear diamonds if I had them. I guess I'm saying I'm not into big hats and no cattle.

 

[Lauren]

Well, as far as money... It's not really that important. If he's responsible and driven, that's what matters most to me. I'm assuming the guy I marry will see the value in me being a housewife, so he probably would make enough to support a family and wife (but I, of course, would still want to do something in my spare time to help out, like sell on Ebay, get a part time job, do seamstress work, etc.. I guess it matters most to be around all the tiem when you have little kids to raise.)

Besides, Money's not a physical feature!

 

[CharlieH.]

Well, you may not care about money but... what about the CAR?

I haven't met anyone who would go out with someone whose ride was a pair of black oxfords.

 

[Miss Neecerie]

I haven't met anyone who would go out with someone whose ride was a pair of black oxfords.

That depends greatly on where you live.

London...not having a car by no means disqualifies one from the pool of datable man...

Los Angeles, it might..granted for me it still wouldnt...I dated someone in LA for 9 months who didnt have a car or a driving license...

see...men think we worry about these things way more then we do....or at least the type of women you -should- as intelligent men want....dont place all the emphasis on these things...

 

[Paisley]

I really expect a man my age (37) to have bought not only a car, but a house. But when I was 19, my boyfriend didn't have a car. It's all about what stage of life you're in.

Back to the topic, I appreciate lithe movement in a man. It can make a very ordinary man attractive.

 

[mysterygal]

on the superficial side, going out with your man in a cool car is awesome ( my husband has a 65' stingray corvette, and if we're going out, we're going out in that!.....but hey, if you don't have a cool rig, a good sense of humor about it, will make it totally cool, the girl's not going to fall in love with the car, it's YOU ....I think no material assests are really going to matter to much to a girl (though they are really nice!) again we go back to personality

I find men that age (or in the slightly older then me bracket)not only have a car...a house... a first wife...kids....alimony payments....

go younger I say

 

[Paisley]

Yes, exes, kids, all the other baggage--that's one reason I'm single.

 

[MissQueenie]

Lauren's right -- money is not a physical feature!

But I'll toss my two cents in, anyhow. My grandfater, who raised me, had a tremendous work ethic. He retired at 65 after a life full of good work -- he served our country in occupied Japan and in Korea, and came home to a long career in the air and space industry. He was never idle -- he repaired his own car, his own computers, his own televisions; he maintained all of the systems that kept the house running (heat, wiring, etc), and did his own remodeling and construction. He was frugal, resourceful, and busy -- these qualities are so much more important to me than a high-powered career. We weren't rich, but we were certainly comfortable and very secure.

Men seem to assume women want a man with a glamorous six-figure job and an expensive car...personally, I'd never marry a doctor or a lawyer -- I'd rather be able to spend time with my husband than spend his salary.

Great answer!

Maybe there's hope for me yet,..........
Thanks,MissQueenie, it's nice to know us do-it-yourselfers are appreciated.:cheers1:
