Coming from a pov in the past since I'm married- He has to be physically attractive for me to notice him from the start. That means fit, tho, not necessarily gym fit, but hiking/camping/roughing it fit. Then he has to be intelligent, rational, easy going, and have a trip. By intelligent I mean well read and educated (formally or informally); rational covers his approach to life, an awareness of himself, his surroundings, and how those to two things interact. Easy going is self-explanatory (I hope). This quality makes life easier and that's so important since life can be difficult. And by trip, he has his own thing going on regardless of anyone else. He has a passion(s). This umbrellas a host of other qualities (drive, self-esteem, etc).

I'll translate their responses for you. They will say "confidence" because thy know that this is a strong indicator that he not only has looks (an attribute that they can see across the room) but also money.

It would be considered crass to actually say what they mean so women love euphemisms.

Directed towards the OP..

This varies from woman to woman...so I can state my truth..

1. The abillity to hold a conversation in all topics...I mean what good is it if you have a good looking man that is as dumb as a box of rocks..?

2. Has a outlook on life...just have one...
3. YES...has a job..I do not care what it is..a honest days work...from a construction worker, a machine operator..policeman...ect.. I have dated many wealthy men that lacked in so many areas...so being self employed does not always mean better!
4. I am attracted to you..I could not put a specific type because I do not have one..The only requirement I had was height and this is being challenged right now..I am dating a man that is half an inch shorter than me and I really like him.

5. SMART...again..know about the world, different areas, facets..this is always attractive to me..I hate narrow minds...!!!!

And I understood you 100 percent..These are the men that burn through women and state that women are crazy because the women he wants is a carbon copy of him with ****...and if he finally got her? He would not want her...

LOL, and how many men are there who every day look right thru the women who would be perfect for him b/c they don't fit his preconceived notion of what his woman should look like?

Reading thru the posts, I'll take somewhere around what Braunwyn and dr74 want, with this thrown in--I am esp attracted to men who are competent at their chosen life's work. I have no idea why, but I would be more attracted to a man who mows lawns for a living, and has a deep understanding of plant growth and weather patterns and speaks of it with passion and confidence than I would be to an incompetent physician.

So redneck, there's the confidence I'm looking for. But that was code for: I'm looking for a man who strips for a living and has a totally hot bod.

Of course, he has money. How else does he get what he wants?

Someone who is their supporter when they are sad. Someone knows them before they even say it. Someone to laugh with and cry on. Someone who is strong not only physically but mentally as well. Someone yes has a job. And above all has patience.
