Things I want in a guy...

[Nataly 38]

- Someone who treats me well
- Someone who makes me laugh
- Someone who encourages and supports me
- Someone compatible with me so we balance each-other
- Someone with whom I have chemistry/physical attraction

I think that's mostly it - the rest depends tremendously on the individual - some traits are attractive in one person but a turn-off in another.

Ladies? Anything to add/qualify/challenge?

Thank you for starting this thread

Funnily enough, after I posted this I went back to Shah's thread and read your response - almost exactly the same as mine!


(No, I am not on the market!!)



Eta: quoting your response from the other thread: "So like what did I want in a man? I wanted someone who would make me laugh, would treat me right, had similar interests, and someone who I could not only respect, but also have fun with. Oh and sexual chemistry and a general eye to eye on the big things."

intellectual similarity. I hate when I have to explain everything to him or have him explain everything to me. Learning from your partner is one thing, but not having any similar intellectual interests sucks.

intellectual similarity. I hate when I have to explain everything to him or have him explain everything to me.

This is a pet peeve for me as well. Being a computer systems / software engineer, I don't expect everyone to understand what I'm talking about when it comes to computers, math, etc. However, I don't want to have to explain everything either. Some things are fine from time to time, but if I say "don't worry about it, it's some dumb computer thing," let it be.

On the other hand, I dated another engineer that designed these artificial ecosystems to find ways to make an ecosystem more self-sustainable while allowing people and other organisms to live in it without completely destroying it. He was the type that likes to teach. If we went on a hike, I'd get a history, botany, and biology lesson every few steps when he stopped to inspect a plant. It's hard to pretend to be interested when all you want to do is yell at him to STFU and enjoy the hike.

I've learned to appreciate dumbing down my speech, as long as they dumb down theirs in return.

My list is pretty simple:
- Be able to put up with my bullsh*t
- Have bullsh*t that I'm able to put up with
- Have facial hair

Other than that, I'm pretty open.

Yep... Don't like to feel like the other person doesn't understand me, and *definitely* don't like not to understand the other person!!!

I hate to say it but so far....I'm starting to sound like *deep booming voice* GODS GIFT TO THE LADIES!

FYI
I know how to cook and clean the house topless and so dig long walks on the beach. And I also prefer to give back rubs than take them....call me call me any time!
