Must be an attractive woman.
Must share my beliefs and values (Bible-believing Christian, political conservative)
Must appreciate me for who I am & respect my descisions, career, etc.
Must be patient, forgiving, and gentle - no hot tempered or domineering women allowed.
Must have a good head on her shoulders, and common sense.
Must be someone I can have fun with.
Must be trustworthy. No liars, no manipulators.

Thought I'd butt in on this bit of convo :wave:
(This subject comes up so much when I talk to both christian and non-christian friends.)

So, here goes!
  • Someone I could laugh with, who shares the same daft sense of humour as me.
  • Artistic, with something that inspires them.
  • Someone who's faith in God is an indepth part of who they are as a person.
  • Has dreams and believes in them.
  • In turn can believe in my dreams and supports them.
  • Someone who loves me as much as I love him.
  • Respects me and who I can respect.
  • Someone who can love my family and friends as much as I do.
  • Spontaneous and with a fun sense of romance (the little things!)
  • Accepts me and love me as I am, with all my quirks, neuroses, and habits.
  • Someone I can trust with all my heart and soul
:) so there!

Here is my description of my ideal mate:

1) Devoutly Catholic (or at least open to becoming devoutly Catholic)
2) Over 25 (I don't like 'em young)!
3) Attractive to me (and I am attracted to many different types of guys).
4) Non-abusive, either verbally, sexually, or physically.
5) Understands and appreciates Catholic doctrines concerning sex both outside and inside of marriage. Would not force me to compromise my stance on premarital sex, abortion, contraception, or sterilization (*this is important to me).
6) Appreciates my love for 80s music :p
7) Affectionate and tender- both in deed and word.
8) Someone who loves me for the person that I am.
9) Someone who does not detest children, and would not view them as a burden.
10) Someone who will help me get to Heaven, rather than drag me away from it.
11) Preferably, someone who has good relations w/ their family (although I'd never reject someone who came from an abusive home). I don't really have a good family, so...it'd be nice to have theirs! :cry:

I think that's everything. :)

I just thought I'd point this out, Rosa you said someone to help you get closer to Heaven. I don't understand what you mean. Closer to salvation or closer to God? There's a difference because the only one who gets you to heaven is Jesus. But it's more than getting to heaven, it's about having a personal relationship with Jesus in your life here on earth. Your future hubby could definitely help you grow in that relationship though. Maybe that's what you meant.

Like most men, I think these two are musts:

  • Female and loves God above all things
Here then is my crazy off the top of my head list:
  • Green hair
  • Loves cats (after all, I'm half cat)
  • Enjoys video games
  • Dislikes chocolate
  • Reads (particularly the Bible)
  • Hates sports with a deadly passion
  • Doesn't drink (alcohol, other stuff is ok)
  • Doesn't smoke
  • Loves children (and cats)
  • Doesn't watch TV
  • Likes dancing
Yeah, I can throw this whole list out the window, but it was interesting to think about what things I (subconciously) look for in a woman. :cool:

gsmithcat - great list.. especially the green hair.

i'd like a godly man who:

- has NO MORE than 4 teeth
- ALWAYS leaves the toilet seat up
- doesn't mind a few insects in the house
- likes the fake plastic squirrels you afix to the side of the house
- likes the pink flamingos in the yard
- is fond of lanoleum flooring in flourescent orange (really brighten's up the place)
- is a raging alcoholic with a beer gut to prove it!
- only showers on the weekends...

woohoo!.. if that's you?!?!?.. come to mama!

It's interesting to me how the women's lists seem to be longer, and more specific than those of the men. I figure that we men realize we aren't going to get what we want, anyway, so we might as well take what (who) we can get.

Besides, everyone knows that men only want one thing, anway....;)

Well, by marrying someone who helps me get closer to God- and my faith- I believe that that would increase my chances of salvation.

Men want one thing? They want more than that!

1. the obvious ;)
2. the tv remote no more than five inche
from their beer
3. the beer gut fat to move to their groin
4. Be able to avoid dead-end questions like, "does this make me look fat?"
5. A freeze gun for rowdy kids interrupting the football
6. a volume control for their mother & wife
7. undies they can wear 4 different ways for 4 different days

8. I think I'll stop her before everyone thinks I hate men.

I don't - some of those I wish for too. Especially my butt fat to go to my breasts!
