Both men and women have their standards that they will never bend from when looking for a mate and we have things that we are flexible with, but what are some small things that make someone just a little extra endearing to you that you can most of the time overlook? Example, a woman I date doesn't have to like sports, but if she can talk to me about football or basketball that is just ultra sexy. I also like when a woman knows and understands current affairs in the world and can knowledgeably discuss such things in detail. I love it when a woman is a natural hostess, like if I have a friend come over out of the blue and she makes an effort to make the friend not feel like a 3rd wheel but will get them something to drink, engage them in conversation, and then every once in a while drift out of the room to give me some male bonding time! I also love when a woman goes to church on sunday. All these things aren't necessary, but they help in the cause. What about you?

Humor - If someone can make me laugh, good lord . . .

There have been a couple of guys who, at first, I was not attracted to them at all, but once I got to know them and they showed their sense of humor, I was all


Music - If someone is down with the stuff that I listen to and they are knowledgeable about music, major points!!!

Yeah, I have a kind of sarcastic sense of humor, so if someone can take some ribbing I like that.

They have to put up with my shoe obsession.

If they like to cook for me that's good too.

Oh yeah, and now I'm going to get a motorcycle, so if they like those that's great!

I hope your husband likes that stuff.



When are you getting a motorcycle? I've wanted one for a long time

He does. Except for the cooking part. He is actually a good cook, but he's never home, so I always end up doing it.

I want one as soon as possible. I've decided that I've lived conservatively for too long and that life is too short. I want one, so I'm going to get one and ride like the wind.

If they can disagree with me convincingly.

If they're mean as hell.

If they have nice hair.

If they don't mind a little pain.

Oh shit!

I like women that do have a kind, thoughtful, caring instinct, but aren't just all over me and too nice or too willing to serve me when I'm invariably being selfish. I like a mordacious woman with spirit and passion who often doesn't like me and can really piss me off. Otherwise I get bored. I'm dull as hell so I need a mordacious woman. One who can lift shopping bags too and can take a joke.

I like men who are protective, loving, romantic, funny, who isn't afraid to act like a dork sometimes, who can laugh at himself.

oh shut up and go make babies with Jess

Well, if I am interested in him in the first place it already means that I think he is smart, funny, has great style and is hot.

If he's kind to animals, gets along with his siblings and is drug free...I'm gonna start feeling him real hard.

Terminology for"donor mobiles".

-If she doesn't take herself too seriously...

-If she does something really minor like bring me a Coke or bring me coffee without asking, or reach over and unlock my car door after I hold her door open for her...

-If she assumes I mean what I say on the first time I say it...I don't want to have to say something eight times before they believe I'm being sincere lol...

-She doesn't require me to help build up her self-esteem...makes complimenting her and bragging about her that much more pleasurable...

-Likes to wear lingerie lol...


I don't need all those things in a partner...but if some of them show up in a partner it'll make me smile even more...
