    What a nice opportunity to think about it- again! It's not something I say out loud much, but I love to picture him. Lately, I try to only picture or "feel" his energy and personality because I don't want to picture any specific race. It's difficult for me to picture him because he changes colors and sizes so much, but it's always the same man! He's slender, strong jaw, big lips, amazing eyes, striking features. He has a quiet strength. He's gentle, hilarious and all the positive things you'd expect: extreme intelligence, honesty, generosity, open mindedness, patience etc., etc. Sometimes he's bright, sometimes pale, sometimes, dark, sometimes jet black! He has great teeth and a great laugh. He is the kind of man who breaks out into song and dance, voices and characters. He is the kind of man who knows when to be serious. Ultimately, we are equals and he takes turns with me leading and following, teaching and learning. He's very affectionate and has a healthy social life so sometimes he's away with friends/family. He loves his family! He loves people and animals. He's full of love, actually and is God fearing. (Now I feel a little guilty for not mentioning God earlier...) He is the best man I've ever met and he loves me. He's an excellent listener and communicator and is quite empathetic. He sees the good in me and admires things that I may not be paying attention to myself! He pursues his interests and has a great time exploring our world. He's the most loyal, faithful flirt! The man will cut a rug too! He is a good person and consistently succeeds in being a better person. He is capable of correcting himself, admitting wrong, apologizing. He is his own person and has integrity. Before we even meet, he loves the idea of someone like me, just as I'm loving the idea of someone like him now.

    My laundry list for people (male or female) I'd like to be with romantically long-term and maybe consider cohabitation:

    honest, true to their word, honor-bound, good work ethic

    financially responsible - no massive amount of debt because they keep spending money on crap they don't need

    able to support themselves - decent employment, has taken the time to develop skills that are marketable

    able to cook - I can and expect the same of my partners

    educated with a thirst for knowledge

    non-traditional and non-fundamentalistic

    rational / scientific / mathematically / engineering-minded

    self-sufficient, with desire to increase self-sufficiency

    not superficial

    love for an acceptance of kids

    value education

    close to my age range

    They have to have a similar value system. Look have some important (I won't lie), but aren't top priority. Breasts/scrotums sag, bellies bulge, faces wrinkle, etc. But rotten people seem to remain consistently rotten :(

    If a person has many of these and they can make me feel comfortable then my family might negotiate it and consider adding them.

    If I was single and looking, the qualities I would be looking for is:

    (1) looks; (2) personality; (3) makes his own money; (4) is independent; (5) has his own car; (6) is doing good on his own without me;

    Women try to find a guy who is equal if not better than them. And that's the truth. They don't want a guy who they always have to resolve their issues.

    an author you know how and when the story will be end.

    An artist you know how or what the picture will be look like after you done.

    reality you only see what you want to see, you have no control of how story will be end.

    If you happen to find some one and you can meet half way with them than that is perfect.

    dream is just an illusion. after you wake up all the nice things is disappear in thin air.

    Wish you luck if you want to be a dreamer

    My husband is handsome, sexy, a good provider, confident in himself, and at the end of the day I know he would never do anything to consciously hurt me in anyway.

    when I was looking, she had to be smart, she had to understand my hobbies and interests, we had to share the same hobbies and intersts, she had to want kids, and she had to know how to set the clock on a VCR.

    I got for my efforts, a fellow ham radio operator with technical skills, a RN, and we have two kids. Now if I can convince her to come out to the rifle range with me. Well, at least the kids like to go to the range with me.
