I would love a female perspective here. What do you all (I could've said "yall" but I refrained) look for in a man?

I know this is a very general question, but I want you to be specific.

Imagine that through the marvel of modern technology there was such a thing as a "Man Store". You could go in and custom order your perfect guy. A week later, your new man would be ready for pickup (or delivery if you so choose). He of course would be madly in love with you. :-) What physical characteristics would you choose? Would you want him to look just like Adrian Paul? (lol, just kidding). Be shallow if you want. If you want him to have 6-pack abs, say so. What about personality? When you were ordering your man, any detail that you left out would be automatically chosen. So, if you did not specify a hair color it could be whatever.

Look forward to reading your responses.

Good question, Eric (it's fun to entertain the thought of creating an ideal man for myself).

Must haves: Non-smoker
Height: Over 5'11"
No children
Unsure of having kids/okay with the idea of being childfree.

Appearance-wise:
Hair: Brunette (full head of hair) No back or shoulder hair!
Eye color: Any

Other items not in any particular order, are that he enjoys a healthy lifestyle, stopped eating kids cereal long ago, and is well versed in the art of basic housekeeping. Responsible, respectful, strong/sensitive, take charge personality, sharp witted, a good communicator.

Your post reminded me of a Scottish boyfriend I had years ago.

I couldn't understand a word he said if he was agitated in any way.

You've never dated a Scot, have you? ;)

Are you familiar with Clann an Drumma? They are spectacular, and such nice guys (and gal)!
