What qualities women look for in a man after it know that the man is determined to wait?

[JeanCarlos 12]

because personally I think it also must be careful to know how to choose the right person.

[Queen 2,331]

First and foremost, a man's character.  And if I find a man who has the heart to help others in need, makes good choices for his future, and also chooses celibacy (choosing self-discipline to respect his own future), I know he is a rare gem indeed and that's the sort of man I'm looking for.  Even if he doesn't exist, I'll still wait, because that's the kind of man I deserve. 

 

There are other traits also but are not as important as a person's character.  Those traits are:

- the ability to grow a beard (NOT a metrosexual)

- to feel safe around him at all times (even when he's mad)

- loyalty

- respectful

- good hearted

- strong (helping me bring groceries in is a turn on)

- philosophical

- understanding of others' perspectives (I got a scholarship from a women's group one time, and the person I was dating at the time told me it was a sexist scholarship because it was not eligible for women and men.  I earned that scholarship too.)
- Someone who doesn't put so many gender roles on me.  I'd rather be appreciated than expected.

- Someone who would be able to adopt a child that wasn't originally theirs.  So many men just want a child with their "name" or their "chromosomes".  What really matters in the end?  Love or ownership?  If they aren't able to love a child who isn't their own blood, their love is conditional. 
- Someone who will accept me just how God made me opposed to societal pressures of what women ought to be (referring to physical appearance).  I love being a woman.  But I don't want to be an object. 

With all this said, I am obviously looking for someone mature.  Who has gone out and lived a little bit of life.  And has figured out who they are and what they stand for.

This is something that, for me, has changed a lot as I've matured. No longer do I 'require' a brown-eyed, floppy-haired older man; but I do still hope that whomever 'the one' might be, he has a few favourable traits.

I'd love to find someone who is willing to adopt a compassionate lifestyle, if they don't already live one. As a vegan, I'd love for my partner to be similarly 'animal-friendly', sharing my belief that all lives are of equal worth.

Whilst I undoubtedly want a partner I can trust, I also want to be with someone who will trust me; someone who will let me show them new things, and will take my hand and experience the world with me.

Intelligence is an important trait, for me; although my definition of 'intelligence' is always subject to change. I suppose I'd really just like someone I can talk with, and who shares and understands my emotional needs. We could laugh together, cry together, learn together...

I don't ever expect to agree on everything with him; but if he can accept my beliefs, and even learn from them - as I would like to do with his own - then I'm sure we will never run out of conversational topics.

Someone who can embrace the things I enjoy, if possible. It would be lovely if we could both watch a sci-fi movie together, or enjoy a music concert, or play a game of tennis, et cetera. Perhaps we could both find new common interests.

Selfishly, perhaps the most important thing, to me, is that he will be a good father. The thing I want most, in this world, is to be a mother; and a good one, at that. No matter what, I will love my children; and to know that he will always promise to be there for them takes the proverbial biscuit.

...I'm totally not asking for too much, right?

For me, looks dont really matter. I do like when a guy has quirks with his appearance though. Maybe extra thick eyebrows or a crooked nose. silly things like that are really cute to me and make a guy unique.

 

now to the important part:

-id like him to be loyal

-understanding

-have a good humor

-polite

-gentleman

-Christian <3

 

I think that should cover it for the most part
