You must make f'n awesome sammiches!

Here's my top 3, off the top of my head:
Attractive to my tastes.
A lady in public, naughty behind closed doors.
Respects my space.

May need revisions.

Well my deal is I don't put everything on looks they do matter but a person can usually try to get over the parts that do not appeal to them

What I do want though is a girl that can be herself, if she is being herself then there is no lying or bs.

And also to be patient because if a woman was willing to see me more than once maybe some of the things that put her off before might not be so bad (because i would figure it out and tone it down).

But other than that I don't have a hard list because I know everything is not under my control and so it is dependent on how I ride with it rather than how i try to steer it.

I good sense of humor,

Why do these dumb questions always come in threes? I would think that you would want more than three things in a mate. And those who are so easy to please might only want one thing.

I know you asked this only for a topic of discussion and perhaps because of a boring Saturday night. Honesty, humour and kindness. Nothing else? What else might you want in a mate beyond these three things you mention? I think for many, other qualities on top of what you listed, are required for a satisfying relationship.

Let's re-write this shall we to be more 'realistic'.......

Number one....Chemistry/attractiveness....first comes the looks, then comes the body (it's all about personal preference)

Number two....Sexual compatibility

Number three....Sense of humor...he wants someone who will laugh at is stupid jokes, you know the ones that no one else will laugh at but HIM and hopefully YOU

Number four...Patience and Understanding...these are essentially tied into one because even though you understand that he can't get up off his ass to get himself a beer....You must learn to patient with his constant whinning about it.
Thank you, this is reality.

*golfgirl*: Some of them want head.... during sports
....some want a woman to be seen and not heard,
some want a chef in the kitchen, maid in the
living room and whore in the bedroom.

Now if I can just keep these women from
finding out about each other.

This may sound blunt but,
Men want :
1. Sex
2. Food
3. Home

We are not complicated beings. We don't need alot to be happy.
But alot makes us upset or worried. Women need to be themselves and if you are compatible then things seem to work themselves out.

Each person is who he/she is and nothing will ever change that.

A wise man once told me that.
In order to have a successful relationship you must look at each others faults and decide whether or not you can deal with them. If you can deal with them then marry and be happy for many years.

tahquamenon: You forgot the most important thing that a man wants is LOVE that is a very strong bind with his woman. Kindness,sense of humour,Honesty is nothing with out LOVE and a man has to Earn that love from a woman...


In my humble opinion, love is not earned. It is a gift. What is cool is when two compatible people give this gift to one another. Now the gift can be spurned and lost or destroyed but not earned.

OP I am all of those three things and in the end it didn't make much difference to my husband (now my ex).

So I'm thinking it doesn't really matter just as long as two people are happy

I agree the quickest way to a mans heart is through the stomach.....


Ahhhhh....Virginiamarie....I disagree. The quickest way to a man's heart is straight through his thoracic cavity!!

But I digress.....I have to go 100% with what BDJ said. As usual, his post is spot on!

Blessings!

Three things? More like six for me. Must have all of the following:

1. Brains (IQ > 130, articulate, well educated, knowledgeable in many diverse areas -- history, science, foreign cultures, art, books, food, wine, etc)
2. Looks (At least a 6/7 out of 10)
3. Emotionally mature, stable, logical, and sane
4. Great in bed and wants it 2+ times a day (every day) selfishly *and* unselfishly
5. Personality/sense of humor
6. Honest/loyal/faithful

I'd say honesty is the hardest point to maintain on internet dating, since you wouldn't believe how many sensitive souls there are out there who can't actually take honesty. They ask for it, but then when they get it you are 'shallow' or 'judgemental'. If you're really looking for honesty in a person then you have to be prepared to accept it for what it is when it is given to you. In my experience, too many who ask for it aren't.

!. Honesty

2. Sense of Humor/Appearance

3. Passion

Honesty is a key ingredient... Sought after by all, but hard to take as well

Humor, so they don't take themselves too seriously... But even those people have someone made for them...

Passion is what drives a person to Love even deeper than the average is willing to love; regardless of fear.. Paired with the knowledge of what they want, and recognizing it when they feel it..

Good communication skills, forgiving as a person and cute. If we can't talk it wont work. If she holds a grudge and dredges up all the time it will most definitely not work with me. I don't want a beauty queen but I do like a cute smile and a cute face.

Number one..... Kindness this is essential when things really get rough in life and they do more times than not.

Number two..... A good sense of humor..... somebody who will keep him laughing in good times and bad

Number three... Honesty..... We men need our feet held to the fire whether we admit it or not.

So quit worrying about the looks ladies .... just had to set things straight


Thats a bunch of bullony.

I can rephrase that for you to read that - men are looking for the above qualities IN a beautiful woman :-). They can compromise and take one quality only if the woman is beautiful.

Everyone is superficial to a good degree.

Huh? So how does that explain women of lesser beauty who are in a relationship? By default, does that not imply, by simple inference via the implementation of your statement, that those women are ALL filled with kindness, humour and honesty? Really? Cuz I've met at least one who aint.
