I'm not exactly an expert in the opposite sex, but here's what i would want.

Someone who either is a Christian or understands my faith and relationship with God.
Good-looking, but not an insane stunner, that would just make me worried.
Taller than me, which isn't hard (I'm 5"2)
Kind
Intelligent (as in reads a lot, i can sometimes lose in arguments kind of smart)
Funny, at least to me
Not a pushover, someone who knows what they want, but not really controlling.

And other than that, stuff in common. I like my list!

Genesis 6:2 that the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all that they chose. (In Portuguese it says a word similar to beautilful)

I have to disagree with most of you, but my wife will be the most beautiful girl in the World :)
I mean, love is blind, so I think I'll have to love her in a way she'll seem to be the most beautiful in the world... (and belive, that's easy for a girl to become beautiful to me :p)
However, beauty is not the main point at all. (a strong personality does the beauty part.)

For me:

She has to be a decided girl, once I am not that decided haha
She'll need to have a stable self-steem, but still be humble. I think that's one point that make you girls interesting and even more pretty.:B
She needs to seek God above everything. And when I mean above everything it can't be simple someone who goes to the church.
She needs to be open minded, affectionate: I mean someone who will be aways around and won't get tired of being together.

Some extras (still for me):

I think girls who speak English are SOOOO cute *.*
She'll have to like theology debates, once I like to talk about the Bible for hours non-stopping haha
Girls need to be demonstrative, (expressive? translation issues haha), always show what they're really feeling, happy, sad, etc. I love that ^^
It would be great if she were shorter than me (5''45 - 1.76 meters haha)

Some hints (in general):

Unfortunatelly we boys are silly and we do like girls who are hard to win over. You see I don't mean they're always confused about going ahead or not (DON'T show you're confused about him, that's terrible :x), but they are just hard to be winned over. I HATE when the girl I like ignores me, but that makes me think more about her. But pay attention not to do it too much, that can really hurt guys.

The last point includes having a good self steem, or at least showing it. I think even if the person is not beautyful, if she has a good self steem she can turn out to be. I have many friends that are not that beautyful, but their humor and self steem make them beautyful.

Guys usually can't stand girls showing they need protection in some areas - not like saying nobody likes me, but showing us we've got something you like and makes you want to stay with him.

Complimenting him sincerely is infallible, looking into his eyes during long momments too...


Sorry for been so honest haha!

That would be amazing if any girl could tell what do guys do that really win you over too :) - not fairy tales, but the truth.

PS: I loved this topic, it made me think about what I really want! HAHA
PS2: All the description above can suddenly disappear from my choice, I mean, somehow I can just fall in love for a girl that' hasn't any of the things I said above, 'cause sometimes I simply can't control it haha! It's easy to make this list when you're not liking any girl this way :)
PS3 I wrote too much again ¬¬

Everything that my girlfriend happens to have XD

Spiritually- She has to be a Christian. She has to, to some extent, keep me in-check with God, and at the same time allow me to keep her in check. Denomination doesn't matter if there are no super-significant differences (like the difference between Baptist and Catholic or something lulz). I'd much rather he just be able to read and understand the word for herself, and be able to come to the same or similar conclusions as me instead of coming up with some far fetched opinion.

Physically- like the TC said, most people say looks don't' matter. Well, I'm not a liar XD Yes, looks matter to some extent. I would not even DREAM of dating someone that I thought looked bad. I don't want to look at my spouse every day for the rest of my life and say, "Wow... They are such an awesome person, but I'm not attracted to them physically at ALL!."

Of course, they don't have to be perfect. It's mostly the face/hair that matter IMO (body structure matters if it's VERY bad, but I'll take average). For my current girlfriend, I think I'm very fortunate that she looks as good as she does ^_^

Emotionally- There are two big "NO"s to me. A woman who is "in control," and a woman who is an emotional wreck.

For the emotional wreck- This includes girls who, during ALL times of the year, break down over the smallest things, get mad and overly jealous, and are likely to break up with you and want you back two days later. That is NOT marriage material right there. Heck, it's barely dating material (not that I do casual dating, all my dating is looking for a marriage partner ^_^)

For the "in control" part- I have NO problem with a woman who sees problems and points them out. However, when the woman takes charge of everything herself and doesn't take the advice of others, and attempts to dominate her husband, I will not allow it. I'm not naturally dominant, but I take charge when necessary. If there's a problem, I expect to have the final word. If it's a problem with ME, then I will be obligated to fix it, and I have no right to get mad at my future wife for pointing out my problems. However, if I have a problem and she attempts to FORCE a change on me, it's not a good idea. For example, if I'm spending too much time watching TV and she wants some attention, she should just let me know instead of storming into the living room, turning off the television, and yelling my head off XD

As far as other emotional details go, most of them don't matter much. I'd like her to be fun-loving and playful (that sounds way too much like a dog's description, but I have no other way to put it XD), because I normally sit there and don't do much, and I like it when my girl comes up with off-the-wall suggestions and has a great time doing stupid things =P



And, of course, I need commitment. I'm sure there are plenty of girls like that out there, but I will only love ONE, and the one I love will be the one who loves me back. No point in chasing a relationship that won't happen.


And like I said at the beginning- I am VERY lucky that my girlfriend not only passes these criteria, but actually exceeds them ^_^ <3 </sappiness>


Amen to that, you my man, are a very lucky dude indeed :)

Wow, what I'm looking for in a guy? Haha that would be a very long list. But i'm not looking for a guy right now. I mean for crying out loud I'm just in high school. But the day will come when I will start dating and looking for THE one. I know i have some requirements now, but it will probably add up then too haha.

Has to be a Christian
Pushes me towards God and not himself
Honest and supportive
Strong in who he is and confident not unsure
Loves to be silly and laugh(definitely not someone who is too serious)
Will love me for who I am, even when I'm old and wrinkly

There's much more, I just can't quite think of it at this moment! haha God bless :)

Well...This is a list of what I'm looking for in my future hubby. lol(can't believe I'm doing this)--

-First and MOST important, he HAS to be Christian. And not just a "Christian" but an ON-FIRE God SEEKER! Who puts God FIRST!(yes, even ahead of me) :)
-He would be compassionate toward others and helps wherever he can without thinking he can do it all(which would lead to a burn out).:)
-Loves me.(guess that's kinda important! :p) :)
-Wants to adopt at risk children like AIDs orphans.:)
-Will support me in whatever God calls me to do, weather it's in a mission field in Africa or stay at home motherhood(or a combo of both which is what I hope to do) :)
-Someone who is STRONG spiritually and encourages me to be strong.:)
-Has a HUGE unshakeable Faith.:)
-He'd always be there for me emotionally. And would always pray for me(as I will with him). :)
-Somebody who IS NOT ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in the leaset! He'd be really quite evangelistic, actually.:)
-He would have a good work ethic, not a lazy guy at all but NOT a workaholic either.:)
-Would enjoy my quirks and have plenty of his own for me to enjoy, too.:)
-He'll enjoy being out amongst people and also like being alone with just God, himself, & me.:)
-Is pretty romantic.:)
-A humble but strong leader.:)
-He will intrigue me, and I him.:) We'll never lose the amazment of each other.:)
-We will base our ENTIRE relationship on Christ and His Word. And then raise our futuer family the same way.:)
-Will put up with me when I have "off days".:)
-He will be really laid-back.:)
-He WILL be the head of our household and will be a Godly authority for me to submit to.:)
-Not overbearing.:)
-He will be honst with me, and won't candy-coat the truth as to not offend me, but rather speak the trurth in Love.:)
-He would be able to gentley tease me without going to far and be able to deal with me gentely teasing him without being offended but tell me if I ever did go to far with teasing.:)
-He HAS to be funny, and able to put up with abolutely corny pun-filled jokes and movie quotes.:)
-I wouldn't want him to be CONSTANTLY talking! I wouldn't mind if he got a bit shy sometimes.:)
-I would like him to be able to tell when I'm not alright(emotionally). :)
(My list is endless! :\ lol)
-Wouldn't mind putting up with my "blonde moments".:p
-He will be my 2nd best friend(1st being God), who I can tell everything to.:)
-Preferably, with in 5 years older then me. (not younger) :)
-Preferably taller than me and not super skinny.:)
-Hopefully,finds physical fittness important enough to keep that way, but not an exercise nut.:)
-He doesn't have to be really attractive or anything, that is NOT real high on my list(no pun intended :p) I probably couldn't stand being married to some uber-hunky model type. But I wouldn't mind him being pretty cute.:)
-He will want to go through about a year of courting before marriage.:)
-He also will not want sex before marriage and will value my purity.:)
-I don't care what race he is or where he is from.:)
-I don't really care where he'd want to live either, I think I'd like to be close to at least one of ours families though.:)

Hmm...think that is MOST of the things I want in my husband! hahaha

I think that is my draft of qualities I want in my future husband.:) It's rather long but, ohhh wellll!:) It's an indepth question deserving of a nice looooooooong answer! lol hehe ;)

May the Peace of our LORD and Savior be known to you, and may you seek the desire to Love and serve Him. Grace be with you.:)

Sincerely,
Cheyenne:)

I guess it's hard, been even a boy or a girl to fit on one of these lists. But I think God can surprise us a lot in this point.

I don't know, but sometimes I think church girls expect too much from a guy, and that's the why many of the curch guys try to find someone that's not a church goer, and that is a pity.
Nobody is perfect indeed, but I think love can make things perfect, and nothing better than the one that is the Love in the relationship to make it perfect. No way you can find someone who's always funny, even in trouble times, or someone who's always decided and takes the right decisions every time... I think that's the why my list is totaly editable... Depending on the girls I meet :B

And ah, actually I would just like to add talkative to my list! lol! :p

And if anyone fits on my full list, please PM me. HAHAHA
jk...

Searching4somethinglost of course the person you'll choose for life will have to accept you for who you are, never mind about those lists, I haven't fit in any up to now and I assure you (many haha) girls fell in love with me! xD

God bless people :)

Ps: Notice the smile at the end of each AstounedAndInAwe sentence :)

Caleb, your posts are full of sarcasm, and I am not sure you understand the full meaning of that word.

Sarcasm- a sharp and often satirical or ironic utterance designed to cut or give pain.
- remarks that mean the opposite of what they seem to say and are intended to mock or deride.
- sneering or cutting remark.

So anyway you define it, sarcasm is not something that should be used when supposedly sharing the word with fellow Christians. I know that you are young and just may not get the problem with some of your posts, but many are very misleading and I would have a problem if my son happened to be reading some of your remarks and took them to heart. I understand from your profile that you are "on and off with God." I think this would be an example of off. I am just trying to educate you on how words can be so misunderstood, and hurtful. I don't think you mean them this way but that is how they have obviously been taken by more that just myself from the comments I read. I will leave you with a form of sarcasm, or mockery in the bible to give you an example of how hurtful it can be. God bless you, and keep you!

The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe and went up to him again and again, saying, "Hail, king of the Jews!" And they struck him in the face.
John 19:2, 3
This verse always brings tears to my eyes!

I guess he meant ironic, and not sarcastic when he said she's wrinkly... Once she's just 17...
I don't know about the other remarks, but I see no problem in a joke like this. Like saying someone who is cool that she's boring or something like...

God used Irony in the book of Job, so I guess that's not a sin or a bad thing. The problem is only when people simply don't get it.



...Could any girl post a "winning a girl's heart" guide? With... the things a guy DO that makes you want to be with him? :B (I've posted a guys version already xD)

I apologize that the word sarcasm was misused. Me saying that a teenager being wrinkly now means that I am "off with God"? I never actually realized that determined if I was on or off with God. I'm pretty sure, but correct me if I am wrong, that it is not man nor womans job to determine this. I guess that joking is simply not aloud on this site, it is a shame really, God has one of the best senses of humor I know. Well either way, I see no wrong in calling a teenager that I am friends with and know wrinkly. I apologize that you don't share my sense of humor. God Bless you.
