My other thread started me on a tangent about what I like in my significant other. I realize no one is perfect, but if I could do a "Weird Science" thing and make the perfect guy, it would be:
Personality: Sarcastic, witty, but not rude. Knows when to be serious, and when not to be. Able to adapt well in a crowd of unfamiliar people or surroundings, not just be a wallflower and giving me the "can we leave now" look.
Likes and dislikes: Outdoorsy, likes fishing, camping, nature and wildlife. And domestic animals too. Not too into sports, maybe just football (but if he was I wouldn't mind, just that I don't like sports except football) Motorcycle would be good, but not always going to bars every weekend while riding. I hate that when people drink and drive, especially when someone's on the back! Wants kids is a must. Non smoker. No drugs. Must have a job, no freeloaders! It doesn't have to be a great paying job, but I've had guys mooch off me before and that doesn't work for me.

Looks: Think Griffin from party of 5 (anyone feel free to post a picture of Jeremy London here
) Ruggedly handsome, not too pretty. Goatee is a plus, and I have a thing for glasses, too.
Well, that's all I can think of right now, that's my perfect guy. Where are you?!

What would be/is your perfect scenario?

Wow!

Except the sports thing, you just described my Jeremy.
He's into Football, Basketball and Baseball, and he plays softball.

No motorcycle yet, but there are plans for one.

Mmmm, I like the classy-looking blond gentleman who leaves Rainer Maria Rilke love poems in my sheet music who is sitting directly to my right.

Let's see... the perfect guy (aside from the one in the photo) would have to be:
- very smart and open minded. I need someone I can have intelligent discussions with.
- a geek. I love geeks

- He has to love cartoons. I need someone who would want to watch old Simpsons episodes with me for the 4 billionth time and still find them funny.

- good sense of humor, silly
- willing to put up with my mood swings
and reassure me when I'm panicking over nothing

- he'd have to be poor, just like me. No need for great career ambitions but willing to work hard on things he is passionate about.
- likes to do the dishes (or willing to buy a dishwasher
)

as far as looks go... not too much muscles. Maybe looking like Johnny Depp or Edward Norton.

oh geez.
Well, pretty much everything my current boyfriend is not?

he's in a band, lives paycheck to paycheck, has a hard time talking about feelings.

I want someone with an actual job and who isn't afraid of commitment and who doesn't chew tobacco. The tobacco thing can be a real deal breaker for me. And who also doesn't mind having a girlfriend who doesn't party.

wow I just made my relationship sound really dysfunctional. it probably is!

Well, I have my perfect significant other


I always told my mom and aunts that I wanted to marry someone that had the same traits as my Dad and Grandfather - and I found him!


Taller than me, dark brown eyes, skinny, but muscular. Hard worker, enjoys the outdoors and the biggest part -he has to be a family guy - and he is!

Oh yeah, and he looks really good in a pair of chaps when he's riding on his harley

Yeah, my Ian pretty much fits the bill of what I've always wanted:
-Smart.
-Quick on the uptake. Has to be able to keep up with my brain, which is no small feat.
-Well-read
-Informed
-Very nurturing and caring
-We all say it, but sensitive; can talk about emotions, knows he has them, etc.
-Somewhat adventurous without being a brainless thrillseeker
-Articulate, a good writer.
-LIKES ANIMALS.
-Cultured
-Well-dressed/groomed
-Good taste in music
-Understands my extreme love for and vocation in the performing arts
-Compassionate
-Liberal (sounds stupid, but I really doubt I could be with someone who's political beliefs are completely opposite from mine and my family's)
-Enjoys many of the same activities I do (mostly really artsy endeavors), but also has his own interests that I don't necessarily share (he likes hockey and baseball, and I'm not a sports fan)

Perfection to me is someone who gets me, who, when they look at me, they see me, and nothing else. Some one sarcastic and playfully witty, a realist with a deep romantic and thoughful streak. Some one who is very open minded politically and religiously, loves cats, wants a baby, believes in a true and equal 'partnership', and loves to be spontaneous and goofy. And a love of learning and strong ambition with whatever it is they want to do in life is a must. I love dark hair, smoldering eyes, the rugged shadowy facial hair look, and glasses are a huge turn on. But really, I am attracted to all looks/cultures, but this is just idealistic. The only thing that I am not attracted to is extremely skinny men, they can't be smaller than me, lol.

Perfect man? My husband Jim with the following changes:

He would dance like Al Pacino in scent of a woman.
He'd have billions earned legally and stored away earning high interest.
He would enjoy jewelry and shoe shopping.
He'd like the bedroom temperature set to 65 at night.
And he would always let me hold the remote control.

Movin' on up!
Help wanted: Male.

Must have a sense of humor and be able to laugh at himself. Must like animals.

Physical requirements: twinkling eyes, that light up, when he sees me; strong shoulders, just right for laying my head on or crying on; lips that smile a lot and can kiss me silly; hands that are strong enough to open the pickle jar, yet gentle enough to stroke my cheek.

I often wish Jeremy could dance.....all the money I spent on ballroom dance lessons, wasted!

I did tell him you said to send him your way when I was done with him.

LOL he said Wisconsin huh? What's this woman look like?

Someone who treats me well would be an advancement for me. And takes care of me when I need it, lets me take care of them when he needs it.
