| Men what kind of man would you want your daugher to marry Posted: 11/25/2007 6:24:40 PM | I have a daughter. Here is my list:
1) He must have erectile disfunction 2) He must be completely sumbmissive and do EVERTHING she says 3) He must look at me with the fear of god himself
If all three of these demands are met, perhaps I can avoid being on death row...
Dillusional, yes, but ignorance is bliss...  | |

| Men what kind of man would you want your daugher to marry Posted: 11/25/2007 7:42:40 PM | A man that strives to better his life every day
I don't care if he would be a ditch digger or a rocket scientist as long as he took pride in his job.
Respect for people, rever motherhood, protect women, children, and those that can not(can not not will not)protect themselves
Basically what I expect from a child I raise
Oh yeah .......I use this one on my little sister's boyfriends He needs to be able and willing to look me in the eye with out fear and with clear concience. I went to visit her at college a couple of years ago and her guy avoided me for two days and then wouldn't look me in the eye for anything.........I called her up when I got home and told her to dump him.... he was bad news. She laughed then, three weeks latercalled to say I was right. | |

| Men what kind of man would you want your daugher to marry Posted: 11/27/2007 11:58:25 AM | I am a father of two little girls, and if I had the choice of choosing whom they marry or date then I'm robbing them of the lessons that I have learned from my teens and early adulthood, and what I mean by lessons, is the way the people they are with are happy and that makes them happy, cause like Vagabond said that would be awkard for me too to have someone set me up on a date so why would I subject my girls to that same thing. I hope I answered your question Vagabond if I did not please let me know and ill correct what ive said :)  | |

| Men what kind of man would you want your daugher to marry Posted: 11/28/2007 7:03:22 PM | | Someone who has her best interests at heart and doesn't take away from her. (ie doesn't work and lives off her paycheck) Basically someone who is independently stable but you can tell he wants to share his life with her because he adores her. | |

| Men what kind of man would you want your daugher to marry Posted: 11/29/2007 12:33:00 AM | | I only have son's but it's till the same qualities i would want for a daughter. I would like the person to be honest, hard working , reliable and responsible. I would want them to be unselfish, giving and fun loving. I would like them to be adventurous and have goals. I would hope the person had the same interest and my child or at least repected and supported the interest of my child. I would want that person to devote their life to my child's happpiness and expect the same. I want them to be strong in their convictions . Together I would want them to make each other a better person. I would want them to want children and enjoy being a great parent. Oh and most of all they must love their mother -in- law. | |

| Men what kind of man would you want your daugher to marry Posted: 11/29/2007 10:09:14 AM | | I know I'm not a man, but I do have a daughter, and what it comes down to for me is I want my little girl to marry someone who cherishes her as she deserves to be, loves her unconditionally, and who makes her happy. I hope that they have my grandbabies, grow old together, and that they can be an example to everyone around them to show what love really is. Basically, I hope that her future husband makes her as happy as my husband of almost 7 years does me. | |

But Dear old Dad said it good.."I raised you to be independant and never have to rely on any man..but if you should ever "need" one...make sure you find one who you feel is better at everything you do, is smarter,stronger,and loves you more than you love him..only then will you respect him..and with great respect comes love for your husband..just like your Father ...smart man my Dad.
This is perfect...Your dad is indeed a smart man. | |

| Men what kind of man would you want your daugher to marry Posted: 12/18/2007 6:57:46 AM | My daughter gave to me this in a card for fathers day a few years ago. And I feel it doesn't matter and shouldn't matter what kind of man we would wish for our daughters to marry; what matters is that as fathers we have given her a vision of the things it takes to be a true companion. In my fathers day card she wrote: "They say that women (in general) tend to search for and get into relationships with someone that reminds her of her father (if her father was one to give her love and respect). She went on to say that her boyfriend listens to her when she has something to say, respects her for her own opinions and for the person that she is, very seldom has a cross word to say to her and generally expresses it in a manner as a question . He's considerate to me and my friends, he likes to joke around and he makes me smile just being around him. He likes to involve me with things he does and likes to be involved with the things I do also. He sensative to my needs and shows his love for me by the things he does, not just for me or him but for us. He tends to think and act alot like you dad; his brain is definately engaged before he has something to say. Dad he reminds me so much of you that it's sometimes scary. I wanted you to know this dad because you're a hard one to follow and don't think I could have done better if I had spent my life searching. " Don't ya know I had a tear in my eye over that. I have since carried those words with me thinking that's exactly the enjoyment I wanted her to find in her Friend, Companion and Lover. And with the admiration and respect I have for these two I read it to them at their wedding as my toast to the bride and groom. We all shared tears and hugs after that. And I thought they had broken the mold after me!!  | |

| Men what kind of man would you want your daugher to marry Posted: 12/18/2007 7:17:49 AM | a man who would be kind and respectful toward her, who would listen to her and care for her needs, someone who'd be willing to work through problems with her and take responsibility for his actions and words, someone who'd be willing to admit to mistakes and accept her forgiveness and be forgiving toward her when she made mistakes, someone who would treat her as an equal to himself and not be patronizing toward her or mocking..
a good work ethic, honesty, integrity, loyalty, empathy and understanding toward others would also be good.. (not the job itself being important, but how well he did it.. 'though having enough money to live on would be important, of course.. but she'd help provide that, too, unless they decided she should have the job of raising a family instead..)
ummm, oh yeah, and they should both find each other madly attractive and be deeply devoted to one another...and share the same sense of humour and outlook on life...
kinda like someone i'd like for myself.. hehe
not such a tall order, ya think?

| Men what kind of man would you want your daugher to marry Posted: 12/18/2007 3:42:21 PM | I imagine a daughter that respects, looks up to and is close to her father would want similar qaulities in a husband. Just like what you posted.....english lass ^^^^^^^ My daughter had a tendancy to be very hard on boyfriends, I met a few of them and was not impressed. They were wimps that had no direction except to follow her around like a love sick puppy dog and my daughter took advantage of them.
I love my daughter very much but one time I told her ....if you were my girlfriend I'd dump you so hard....lol. No matter how pretty you are ! Anyways I knew what she needed.........and that was a fella that was strong, would stand up for himself, fun, a good heart and had direction. So I introduced her to a guy that I thought would be good for her, we even double dated for their first date.....my girlfriend & me with them.....at seperate tables of coarse.
That was over 4 years ago and I have a 3 year old grandson from them ! It has'nt been easy though....everytime there's a problem guess who each one would call. There's been a couple times when that big guy was cry'n on my shoulder.....lol. My daughter is different now, more generous and down to earth....and a good mom.
It just took time, patience and a little direction from dad. | |
