I haven't seen this topic anywhere else and I'm thinking about it myself, all the time. I don't have a BF or partner yet, but what qualities would you look for girls when you meet the man you get along well with and the one you think is for you?
Mine for example, would be one who was gentle, kind, shares the same interests in music, computers, animals, cooking, food and drink and literature as I have, drives a fast car, someone who's committed to relationships and maybe a family later as I desperately want the chance to have children, can hold down a job and generally wants to get out there like me and get a busy social life, is a good laugh and knows when he's having a good time and most important of all, he's not to show any interest in other women. If he did, wo betide him and he'd be out the door, just like that, end of him, end of our story and our life together.

Hmm. well I've thought about this one often, both for the perfect guy and girl, and I've come up with a few things. I don't think there's a perfect person out there, but this some must be's. They've gotta be really funn, and sweet, caring, and nice. but not so nice that the sense of adventure in them is lowered. Hmm they've gotta have a ffew quirks, and it's preferable if they've have some of the same passions as me. looks are only a bonus, but not that important really.

Hmm a caring patient personality, a sense of humour, honesty and a love of adventure, but a sense of perspective when I loose all track of mine..and he must be over 6ft and well built.

i don't believe there's a such thing as the perfect guy or girl. i think you're setting yourself up for disappointment if you spend time trying to figure out what qualities you'd want them to have. as long as you've got honesty, trust, and respect, that's all that matters. the rest will just come naturally.

Hmmmm good qualities hmmm let me see here.
1 great personality, he's got to make me laugh, and be a little cheeky, but not too cheeky, as that would be a turn off.
2 be sociable, I love people who can just get out there and have some fun, go party, go to the park, the beach, a picnic, the lake, all that stuff. People that just stay at home all the time are just so boring.
3 Support. I definiely would want the support of my boyfriend no matter what I was going through, thick and thin, I would want him to be there.
4 good looks, it's definitely a preference, but hey, as long as you present yourself well, and are hygenically clean it's all good.
5 I love a man who loves to cook, men who can cook are so in now a days, and men who don't expect women to do everything for them, men who do now a days are such pigs.
6 Oh and of course, must share the same interests as me, he must be into all kinds of music, or at least more than just one type, must either love football, or doesn't mind me watching it, and in general, has alot in common with me and my kind of personality.

Hmm, I think the one thing for me is, I don't like guys who are so laid back that they can't make a decision for themselves, however, I don't like guys who are pushy coz I just dont' deal with that well, so kinda somewhere in teh middle is all good, not that, in practise, you'd tend to find that much. Hygene is a must, a good sense of humour, and someone who's interested in me for who I am, not just wandering along for the ride. It's so nice to get home an have someone actually ask how your day was, and just generally show an interest. Someone who won't take me for granted. Someone to be my equal, who I can learn from and who may be able to learn from me somehow. I don't there's such a thing as a perfect guy. Liiks are good, but not a necessity. It's the person inside that counts. It's a hard question to answer. I don't really ask for the world, though I make it sound as though I do possibly.

Hmm, not that I am not will I ever be, interested in a man, but as far as love goes, I think only part of it has to do with the person's qualities but a lot of it has to do with the presence of that person how he/she makes you feel, ideally the world should melt away everytime you see him/her even when you come home from work or they pick you up, you should feel like treating that person as your #1 and making him/her feel as good as you possibly is not your duty, it's something you want to do, I think when you're in love with someone you just know, there are no doubts or ifs, no wondering whether you are really in love or not, if you need to think about it, you're not in love. But I think it's much harder to maintain that initial feeling once hard times set in or the relationship gets more mature and, perhaps, the initial passions of it die out, that's where the qualities and compatibility things kick in, you need to have something in common and, I think, both of you need to feel you got something really special and amazing and that you would not be with anyone else, even if you could choose whomever you wanted in the entire world.
You got to give it all, love without questioning or doubts (unless of course you'll get reasons to have doubts) and be sincere and 100% a part of it. I think only that way wwill you ever have a long lasting successful relationship. :) I've seen those, my parents have been married 40 years,lots of people's parents have been together since high school or earlier, but I think finding that someone and also learning to make the rrelationship last is not easy.

I like a tall guy, not that if a guy's shorter it wouldn't work, a guy with alow deep voice. Oh that's just so damn hot to me. I don't like the high college types of voices. He should hopefully have soft hands, and arms that feel like you melt every time they go around you.

Well, having seen people like phil Mitchell in Eastenders, I think I prefer a bloke with a higher, younger voice. A Phil Mitchell soundalike would bloody freak me out. As for you Kay, You got just the sort of guy I'm looking for Ur'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r'r!

I'd have to say that the right buttons for me would be honesty, loyalty, and kindness.
Also an attentive man is a good thing to have around.
Oh wait, I'm short, so must have one to reach things i can't get to.
