1. Physical attraction is a MUST. I prefer men who are
handsome, have nice smiles, and who are physically
fit/muscular. Beer bellies are a DEFINITE turn-off.
However, I do have a preference for large "teddy bear"
type men, as long as they are fit (a nice hairy chest is
a plus, yum!).Also, any man I date must be at least 6
feet tall (preferably taller). I'm 5'5" myself, and would
not feel comfortable with a man shorter than 6 feet. My
man must also know how to dress well, and must be able to
display proper ettiquette at all times and in all
situations.
2. There must be chemistry. Without sparks, there can be
no flame, and if that's the case there will be no
second date.
3. Any man who I would want to date must be educated and
have a decent job. I have a bachelor's degree myself, and
I will not settle. That's why I would prefer a man with
an advanced degree. I also require that he earn at least
20% more than I do, otherwise I could not respect him. My
last husband worked in a factory, and after it reached
the point where I began to make more money than him, I
lost all respect for him. I'm also not going to date a
man who performs some menial job, such as installing car
stereo equipment.
4. Religion. I am a Roman Catholic, and any man I date MUST
be Roman Catholic also. He must have good morals and
values. He must also be loyal and faithful, and never
even THINK about looking at other women.
5. Any man I date must have the approval of my family,
friends, and co-workers. If any of my friends or family
see any "red flags" about him, that's probably going to
be a deal breaker. I trust their judgement and instincts.
6. Any man I date must be mature and self-sufficient. He
must never have lived with his parents after the age of
18, and he must own the basic things that a mature adult
should own, such as a house and a (late-model) car. And
no, a "mobile home" does not count. I could never look up
to a man who lives in a trailer.
7. Financial security. Any man I would seriously date must
be financially secure. He must have a 401K plan, life
savings, and an investment portfolio. I'm not going to
ever again put myself in the position of having to
financially support a man. You had better have something
to bring to the table.
8. Intelligence. If a man is intelligent, I AM THERE! He
must be witty, funny, charming, and able to converse with
my friends and family, and have them like him in return.
He must be able to make me laugh. At the same time
though, he must never be boring, he must always be able
to keep me guessing, otherwise I will lose interest and
may start to look elsewhere ...
