What are some of the characteristics that would cause you to dismiss...

[toinena]

I am a slow learner regarding men. I have now a better idea what I like in a man thanks to CC I have learnt more in 6 months than in a life time. I think I twist it to a must list. Tired of being negative.

Norway is a small country, and I can move. Or what ever God wants to arrange things. So he doesn't need to be from here.
Similar cultural background.
Similar kind of church preference. Some no-no's here.
Non-smoker. It says something about the character too.
Alcohol in moderation or not at all.
The two last... I have chosen to ignore them previously. Very stupid. They are absolute!
Prefer no tattoos. And piercing? No way!
Regular income and preferably own flat/house. Again. Says something about the man.
Color of skin? I thought I cared but it is really insignificant. The right person is the right person.
God fearing and Christ loving!!!!!! A must. And we have to be able to talk faith and pray together.
No kinky business! It has nothing to do with love.
And the voice? Should be masculine but yet loving. Same with eyes. Have authority but still be mild.
Fruits of faith and spirit should be present in his life and in our conversation.
Well. Anyone here matches that description? (I know one......)

Some of these features are not possible to put into a dating profile. And I think a datingprofile is not the place to find a man anyhow.

Only one thing comes to mind about this thread. If you think farting in a group of people is hilarious, go to the end of the line. If you just can't help it, for example if you are old, that is understandable. But if you just let one because you think it is amusing to gross people out, I want nothing to do with you as a friend, much less as a potential spouse.

A farting spouse. Been there, done that. He was a proud farter. I don't think it would be written in a dating profile, though.

Ive never tried on line dating but a friend recently gave it a go.

She told me several so called Christians, turned out not to be Christians at all.

Some were christianed as babies and thought that meant they were Christians.
Others thought they were Christians just because their parents were catholic.
Still others never went to church, never read the bible, never prayed, never
did anything remotely Christian, but still called themselves Christian.

One "Christian" said his mother had approved and therefore offered marriage within
a few days!


First and foremost I would say looking for a genuine Christian under the
guidance of God, should be first on the list. Everything else is supplemental.

I am not capable of thinking about this kind of stuff without being negative and focusing on the "must not" instead of the "must". I wonder if I've ever seen enough positive things to know how to write a list like that. Thought provoking.

Just some major things that are a def no.
1. Non-christian.
2. Out of shape. (Like way out of shape)

4. Has kids
5. Doesn't like dogs

A maid in the living room, a cook in the kitchen, and a maniac (to be polite) in the bedroom.

I hope you're joking, but if you think women are only good for cooking, cleaning, and sex, then that makes me sad. Also, irritated, but I won't get on my soap box.

I'm sure there are services he can hire for any of the 3. A wife should be your best friend and companion for life.

x Can't cook. Not even the basic things.
x Loves cats more than dogs. Pfft.

I like this just for the "Doesn't like dogs".

You all are just too demanding! Women only want two things.

1) Men who make 6 figures.
2) Men who are over 6 feet tall.

I've got the build for the second, and the cents for the first.

 

[GaryA]

Men generally want 3 things, and its not intimate moments reading books in front of a fireplace on cold winter nights... jmo

Dare I ask what those three things are....?

Rachel - there is a certain truth-in-reality in what Dan said. But, I don't necessarily think he meant that he thought that is all women are good for - or, that he would not be willing to strive to reciprocate "due benevolence" to his wife -- at least, I sure hope not.

I am in agreement with the statement Wild made, quoted above.

While I believe that there is a God-given construct for the roles the man and woman should have in a marriage -- I personally absolutely most definitely want a woman who would be my best friend and companion for life -- with a lot more to the relationship than simply meeting each other's basic needs.After all, "going beyond" those basic needs is actually part of that construct as far as I am concerned. I believe that God wants us to have balanced marital relationships - with mutual trust and giving as well.

Nonetheless, those three things - each in its proper context - are perfectly biblical.

God said that the wife should ( not in God-given priority order ) :

~ take care of the home.

This covers the first two.

~ take care of her husband.

This covers the third one.

~ take care of the children.

Not even mentioned by Dan.

Simple. Honest. Biblical. Proper.

However, it does not mean that the wife should be "abused" with regard to her God-given role in the marriage. And, the husband - because he loves his wife - should be willing to help her at times simply to ease her burden in carrying out the responsibility of that role. After all, everything that she does - if she does it with the proper attitude toward God and her husband - benefits the husband greatly. And if so, he should certainly want to reciprocate "due benevolence" - and more - to his wife.

Yes, it was a joke, so don't let it irritate you, just my sarcastic sense of humor. And I agree, today's women are capable of more. Making a lot of money, love, and companionship are important too. In fact, if a women makes enough $$$, the cook & maid aren't a prerequisite, because you can afford to hire someone else to cover that superficial stuff.

Took the words from me.
iI have been telling certain people this for years.
In this society of you have enough money you can buy just about anything.
Treat your wife like she is doing a pay for hire routine and eventually you won't have her serving you or even around you anymore.

If he's not a working all the time for the 6 then OK. I'd rather have a husband than a bank account.
I do prefer taller men. Unless one isn't insecure about his height when I wear heels.


Sorry if I'm picking.. don't mean to..
