Taller than me by a good 5 inches, good job, self sufficient, not needy, dresses reasonably decent, clean, good hygiene, drug free, has their finances in order, not bitter and angry at their ex, etc.
None of the men on the poll. Closest to a dream guy I have is a crush on a guy I liked for 2 years, going on 3 now.
Taller than me. I am only 5'0, so I think that's reasonable lol Exact height doesn't matter, after all, who measures? Just not shorter than I am.
I just want a good balance. A guy whom I can communicate with, who's company I enjoy, and who I know will be there for me, and protect me. I like affection, big or small. Like if he were to come over, a small kiss on my forehead would make me melt. Holding hands, his arm around me, etc. But I don't want a wuss, to be blunt. A guy that is timid, easily scared, etc. I want someone who's more a leader type, and not a pushover doormat. A sissy lol And confident
So, a mix on manly strong, but chivalrous/sweet. Give me that, in a guy who I find attractive and i'll be happy. My crush has all these.

1. Intelligence. I could care less about the amount of money a man makes (I'm a self-sufficient, independent chica & I don't need nor want no stinking man to take care of me!) but if he has a master's degree? BE STILL MY BEATING HEART!
2. Ambition.
3. A sense of humor.
4. Spontaneity.
5. Loyalty.
6. Tolerance.
7. Confidence.
As for physical attributes? I'd say height but it's not really an issue. I'm 4'10. You don't have to be tall to be taller than me. I prefer men who are fit but I'm all for "average" men as well. As for everything else? I don't have a particular "type." I dated a guy who was 5'4 with a beard and an average physique. I've also dated a guy who was 6'2 with hella muscles, perfect teeth and "bedroom" eyes. And I've also dated a guy who lived in suits and ties and spent his days pushing paper and his nights drinking wine. If something in a man calls to me, I'm game.
Well, the man of my dreams is not on that list at all. It seems to me most celebrities are messed up in the head. Although to be fair, I don't know any of them well enough (not the type to follow celebrities). I am not even sure who all the people are on the list! lol
I am not sure what the man of my dreams would be like exactly. But in general, I want a man who is:
Kind
mentally strong
Sure of himself/confident
funny/makes me laugh
gentle when he needs to be and tough when he needs to be
honest where it matters
happy with himself
intelligent or wise... or smart at what he does. Doesn't mean he needs to be a PhD... My dad was very wise and was a factory worker (for example).
Actually, in a lot of ways... hope this doesn't sounds creepy... I would like a man who is a lot like my dad was. He was a good man.
And most of all I want a man who loves me just as much as I love him.
Physically, I am not as picky. I want a man about my age... or maybe a few years older (not too young or too old). I like a man in good shape, but doesn't need to be "perfect." In fact, I don't care for perfect men since I know I am not perfect myself. I like a man who takes care of himself and his body. And since we are talking about height, I just like him to be my height or taller--I have to confess, while I've dated men shorter than me, I have a preference for taller than me. That just means he needs to be 5'7" or taller though. And on the flip side, I don't like them towering over me either so lets say under 6'2" or so. I also want a man stronger than me. Not that I am a body builder or anything... so that's easy to meet. Oh, and I have a thing for guys with beards.
Honestly, if a man had all the non-physical attributes, the physical ones are easily overlooked. Physical is just icing on the cake. But we are talking "dream guy" here... so....
