Not really anything new to add...
Basically, the girls on this site know what they are talking about... they are cool chicks it seems... Sad but true... a lot of girls I know their lists would read like this:
*Good looking
*Nice body
*Nice car
*Lots of money
*Buys me things
*Calls me every day
*Kisses my ass
Now my list would read more like what iqqi said... (Of course, this was if I was actually looking for a relationship with a man... which I'm not
).
*
Funny For me, sense of humor is absolutely #1... if you can't make me laugh then you aren't worth my time. I know that sounds b*tchy as hell, but that is a priority for me.
*
Reliability That doesn't mean I would take him for granted... What I mean is this: I don't need a guy to call me a hundred times a day or to see me every day BUT... if you SAY you're going to call me, you better do it. If you make plans, you better show up. That is my #1 pet peeve, from men AND women.
*
Intelligent ... note, I didn't say "educated"... There a lot of people out there with degrees that you can't hold a conversation with and then there are people who may not have a huge "knowledge" but they can still understand what you're talking about and hold a conversation. (I mean I could never be with someone totally ignorant... but that's different.)
*
Creative This doesn't necessarily mean artistic (although I have had a thing for artists, musicians, performers, and writers in the past
)
*
Independent/Care-free What I mean by that is that he doesn't follow his friends (or me) around like a sheep. He isn't obsessed with what people think of him. He's easy-going, care free... Doesn't stress about BS.
*
Similar Interests/Beliefs/Morals Like I said above, independence is important... I don't want him agreeing with me blindly... And we should have SOME things we disagree on, but if we disagree on too many things then we'll be debating/fighting all the time.
*
Attractive/Sexy Now this doesn't mean he has to be society's version of "good looking"... Anyone who says looks aren't at all important is lying, but looks aren't EVERYTHING. To me a guy needs to have SOMETHING about him that I find attractive, but in all honesty I like a guy with a "flaw" or two much more than some "perfect" looking guy. And "Sexy" isn't really about looks so much as it is about attitude and for lack of a better word "aura" (I CAN'T believe I used the word "aura" ... let the flames begin!)
*
Sexual Not to be confused with "sexy"... I am a very sexual and sensual person and I enjoy sex and I expect any man who is with me to feel the same and to be sexually compatible with me.
*
Honest Don't lie to me, don't cheat on me, don't play me for a fool. Or I'll kick your ass.
*
Respectful Have respect for me... that doesn't mean you have to treat me like a queen or anything like that. Just treat me like a human being, like an equal. (I'm not one of those chicks that goes for bull**** "chivalry"... if you want to open the door for me or pay for my dinner, that's cool, but do it because you're a nice person, not because I'm a weak, inferior, female
I don't want to be with someone who only shows respect for ME.)
*
Has direction I don't need a guy with money, or a great job or anything... I'm not shallow and I'm not a gold-digger. But if a guy is unemployed and doesn't even try to find work, then that's unacceptable. You should be doing something with your life. (And preferably you should enjoy it). I'd equally date a rich lawyer or a poor garbage man or a struggling artist or whatever... It's about responsibility, not about money.
*
Gets a long with my child I'm not looking for a new daddy... already got one of those... I don't introduce new guys I date, but if someone is going to be in a LTR with me, they better at least get along with my child somewhat or they aren't someone I can see in our lives.
Now THAT to me is a guy who is cool. I'm not sure what society's definition of "cool" is exactly, but I'm sure that most of the "cool" guys aren't so cool in my book.
