What do you look for in a girl/guy? This should be good, meh heh. Also, which Anime..

Talk about anything in here.

Postby agasfas » Thu Oct 21, 2004 5:49 pm

Wow, talk about late on the post. What do i look for in a mate?
Where to start.....
-physically; it doesn't matter much. I'm more about the personality/character of the person.
-has similar interest (i.e. God and hopefully anime :))
-Strong in her faith
-Caring and loving
-not too high maintenance. I would buy things for her to show her i care, but if she wants a diamond ring every other week... well that's out of my budget.
-Understanding
-can think for herself
-mentally strong and mature
-be able to make me laugh and vise-versa
-someone who is supportive.
-someone who is willing to talk just for because or if they have a problem; I May not always know the best things to say but i am a good listener and very understanding. Just be willing to talk.
-I don't want the love to be lopsided or one sided. For example, I have a friend who dated this one girl and everything was always done for her. He loved her and he did everything he could for her. But she would not return the same amount of love or affection. She was willing to receive it but not give it. I want the love to be mutual/equal on both sides.
-not money hungry. Realistically I'm not going to be a millionaire. I will try my best, work my hands to bone trying my best to provide for my family. Even if i have to work 80hr weeks. BUt if you only want money, well.... I may not alway have a lot money.
-Doesn't always have to be right and to be will to admit fault. As I am will to do. Many arguement start that way....
-Values life
-Trust! Relationship is built on trust. I would never cheat and i don't want someone who will cheat on me.
-Strong morals
-be able to believe in herself.
-loves me for me; not concerned about physical appearance but emotional.
-Will always be there b/c I will always be there for her.

Y'all may see this as setting my standards to high, and maybe so. But I want someone I can relate to, talk to, care for and just have fun. Marriage is a very important to me. I'm willing to do anything to help my family; even if i have to give my life. Because I would put theirs lives before mine to ensure they have a better life than I had. I will always stand up and defend my wife, no exceptions. Both physically (if I have to and if it calls for it) and emotionally. But when it comes down to it, i just want someone who loves me for me, becaue I will love her for her. Also she must be a christian.

Heh, anyone who wants a passive man would not come for me. I'm agressive...I like agressive, and fighting is fun. The thrill of combat...if someone wants to know more about what I mean, they can PM me. But a girl that swordfights, or is willing to start, is, as I've said before, a must have. Most people think I'm weird because I'm not afraid to fight with a real sword.

Uh...I'm at the age where I should be concentrating on school not boys..but our family is very social and family is an extremely important part of our lives. So naturally, our family has already discussed marriage and dating. I have been thinking about what kind of marriage and man I want in my life, but I won't start dating until I'm ready for a serious relationship that will lead to marriage. So these are things I will look for in a man I'll consider marrying....but he doesn't have to have ALL of these characteristics, but the more important ones are first...

<3 He must be a strong Christian so that we may be able to help guide and strengthen each other's faith...

<3 He will love me very very much and I will love him sooooo very much!!!

<3 Communication will be really important!!!! I want to talk to him at least after dinner or something to ask him how his day was. And if we needed to, we could email each other at our offices..and talk on our cellphones (that will have pictures of us together!!! ^^) And it'd be nice if we could talk before we go to sleep like my parents. They lay in bed and talk about our futures and stuff. ^_____^ Now..I'm daydreaming..haha But we should be able to talk to each other about anything!!!!!

<3 He will be strong (mentally..but physically is good too). I'm not very strong so he will support me. I'm not into guys that are whiny and weak...BUT, he shouldn't be afraid to come to me and cry or something when he has a problem. I'll comfort him. ^_^

<3 He should be serious about life. He should work hard at everything he does. But he can have fun when he wants to, but he should take into account his responsiblities and not blow them off....

<3 He should be intelligent, a leader and have a good career/job.

<3 He should respect my personal space...this may be kind of odd for a couple...but I want a guy who won't constantly be kissing me and/or hugging me and/or holding my hand and such because...I'm not sure how to put it....but I get flustered and it's kind of embarrassing...@.@;; Those aren't exactly accurate words..We'll touch only when "necessary" which I define as like when we are sad or if it's a special moment or something...BUT things like good-morning kisses before we go to work or something will be okay...^^; :blush:

<3 He will be very faithful. Faithful to God above all and faithful to me. I need to be able to trust him. But we have to be able to live without each other too. He has to be independent. I don't like it when boys become all clingy and must be by the girl's side every breathing moment and vise-versa.

<3 I think he would be a quiet guy....not a loner...but not very talkative...because I'm talkative and we wouldn't be balanced...But we'll talk to EACH OTHER a lot though. Even little things like, "Good morning, how are you?" ^^;; Does that make sense???

<3 He should have good morals and values. And he must be patient!! He should be gentle and kind too..

<3 Physical....^^; I'm hoping he will be good-looking but he doesn't have to be..He has to be tall or else we wouldn't look balanced (I am very short)...and the optional traits are: the standard short black hair, brown eyes that aren't too small, nose that isn't fat, lips that aren't fat, slim but muscular.

<3 He doesn't have to have the same interests as me, but he will respect mine and I will be able to respect his.

<3 He has to be Korean. I think it's because our Korean heritage plays a HUGE part of our family..and if he wasn't Korean..it would be too hard..? I don't know how to put it..but it would be better if he was Korean. Maybe this rule will change if I do come to love someone who isn't Korean.


Can't think of anymore at the moment..but that's good...I'm not sure if I answered the actual question. And a girl at my church told me that I shouldn't have such high "standards" because then I'll keep on waiting for my perfect man and then end up not having anyone...I truly don't want that to happen. I hope that I'm not too overboard because no matter how much it hurts, I am not ready to give up on love!!!! >.<;;

What I look for in a guy, in order of importance:

~Has a relationship with God

~Has a funny personality ( I like to joke a lot)

~Can understand my sense of humor (heh.)

~Can understand my walk with God and can/wants to walk with me

~Has a strong interest in music (any kind is fine, I guess)

~Is understanding

~I like pretty boys, but I always wind up dating people that are handsome, not
pretty; sometimes they're not handsome....personality usually wins me over ^__^

~Is very straight and moral, but knows how to have fun while being a good
Christian

~Can think for himself (knows WHY he thinks/feels the way he does; doesn't just think that way or feel that way because someone told him to)

~Knows the importance of LOVING others, regardless; it's the best example of GOD'S love

~Someone who will love me when I'm old, chubby and wrinkly ^__^

If I could date any anime character, it would either be Tooya from Ayashi no Ceres or Hotohori from Fushigi Yugi.

If I could date anyone.....well, I don't even have to think about that. I would date Elijah Wood (if it's only one date...I'm not so sure about a relationship with him). I've been stalki.....errr.....following him since we were both but wee children.

Little T-Chan, your standards are not too high. Your friend is wrong, no offense, but you won't keep waiting for the perfect man when God delivers him to you.

haha, that is funny. I guess it didn't cross my mind. But I was really talking about the girls who want everthing they see. I just wont have the money. I want a girl that loves me and not money or material goods. But that's not saying I wouldn't treat her :)

1. a Christian who lives by his faith
2. doesn't swear
3. respects everyone, even when they're not there, regardless of age, status, or gender
4. keeps good friends
5. keeps his hands off the girls in general
6. trustworthy and responsible

That's the basics...

It's odd... I was just thinking about this subject about two nights ago. And then I find this thread. I suppose it can't hurt to say what I think.... even though I'm fifteen...

If God allows me to meet someone, I would hope they would be something like this, but I'd rather them be according to the way God's made them more than how I want them:

1: A strong Christian. (Oh-so original I know...) I'd like someone who was rooted in a strong faith that I could look up to and see as an example.

2: Is willing to love and accept me despite my faults, mistakes, past, and weirdness. (not to mention my bad moods... which aren't often but still...)

3: Someone who could tell if I'm down without having to ask questions, and give me a hug or just hold me if I needed it. And in return let me comfort them when they were down.

4: Maybe someone thoughtful... that would do something sweet for no real reason. And wouldn't mind getting something sweet/nice for no real reason. o.o; ::has a tendency to do weirdly nice things at odd moments::

5: Does not curse or take the Lord's name in vain.

6: Does not make crude jokes, or think they're really funny.

7: Is respectful to people, and has manners.

8: Can still be the clown while having the manners. Not afraid to have fun. Maybe a little rambunctious sometimes. o.o Like suddenly have the urge to go bungee jumping.

9: It would be nice if he like anime and stuff... but its not a requirement. When I was thinking the other night, I even thought that if I met that 'one guy' and he didn't like anime I would be willing to give up my strong hold on it so it wouldn't get in the way. I don't mean give up completely, just not as into it as I am now. Maybe limit myself to just... a couple shows on TV.

10: Doesn't like to argue or get in arguments.

*sigh* Anyway.. i got to work at the game tonight so this is all I have time for. Ok so... uhm.. bye i suppose.

First and foremost, I want somebody who's a moralistic Christian and will be faithful. I'd also appreciate someone who has these qualities: is trusting and will listen to me, will not be condescending or talk down to me, is strong of character, and has an interesting personality. ^^; I know I'd be happy if I was with someone whose personality was stimulating - someone who is eloquent and can talk at length about all kinds of different and interesting things and keep me engrossed in listening :D I would really like that. I'd also like someone who has a bit of a mysterious air, is cultured, and is intelligent. I admit that I probably have high standards, but I don't see anything wrong with that.
As far as looks are concerned, I think good looks are a bonus but they're not what I look for, honestly.. this may sound haughty, but the one guy I had dated and had a serious relationship with, I didn't think was very good-looking (just my opinion, don't mean to sound harsh), but it didn't matter at all to me when I really cared about him and had actually thought we'd stay together.

This topic is always fun, although it does make me feel kinda wistful..
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

I would want her to be my friend first and then work our way to where we
fall in love and then the marriage thing. :cool:

While she would need to be a bit more practical than me for another thing.

As far as looks go,well I would hope that she's has good looking when she's
75 as she is when she's 45 and as good looking at 45 as she is at 25. :)

Temperment:Basically even tempered but can get into a Rage every now
and then when she's upset.

Postby Kat Walker » Sun Oct 24, 2004 8:09 pm

I'll start with the moderately superficial:

Intelligent, bright eyes. I love them. I am rather indifferent to color (perhaps because mine are practically black I can empahasize with people who are not fond of hearing "wow, blue eyes are so dreamy!" or "hazel eyes are the hottest!"....barf!). I want to be able to look at him and know what he's feeling, what he's thinking...everything.

This is not at all a very big thing, but I actually do like long hair on men. I find it very....eh, bohemian? I dunno. It's better when they keep it in a ponytail, though. Certain 'goth' styles, when not taken to a ridiculous extreme, are also incredibly attractive.

Musicians are great. You don't have to be on you way to signing a record deal for a girl to love a serenade! My most recent boyfriend plays guitar but was always far too embarassed to sing to me. Come on! There's nothing better to me than a guy who expresses himself artistically! Speaking of which, artists and writers are good too. Novice or ridiculously talented, I don't really care. Just as long as he likes what he does.

Although skin color is absolutely not an issue, I do tend to like darker complexions. I think interracial people are really nice looking. Dark hair, a deep soothing voice, and a nice smile wrap up that package quite nicely. And lips are good. Nice, kissable lips. Eh heh.
____________________________

Now onto the meat and potatoes:

HE. MUST. BE. A. MAN. OF. GOD. PERIOD.
While he doesn't need to be the local minister, I do need a strong believer in my life who can help lead and strengthen me. We should both be an asset to each other's walk in Christ, but I need a husband who cherishes his role as my protector. I want him to love God above all else and to put Jesus in the center or our relationship. I want us to put aside time every day to devote to worship. I want him to be a godly father who raises our children to love the Lord, and deeply loves our whole family. In short, he's gotta be serious.

His personality, mannerisms, and way of carrying himself must appeal to me. I usually like very personable and outgoing men with a sweet side, although I also am a huge sucker for quiet, artistic intellectuals with a sweet side (hey, smart guys are sexy, but I don't want them to be so dry they're stale). Bonus points if he's a romantic poet. Whatever he is though, he ought to balance and compliment my own traits. I want a relationship where the two of us are better together than we are apart.

I like him to be his own person, and have a passion for important things. Especially if its anything relating to our faith, a complacent man isn't good for me. I need him to be a leader in every sense of the word. I want him to have goals and visions and for him to share mine as well.

I don't need him to be a huge fan of every single thing I like, but having a few things in common is essential. Be it hobbies or politics, we shouldn't clash severely on anything. I'm open to other people's interests, and so I want him to be with mine.

He needs to be interested in his health. I'm a vegetarian, and am fairly good about diet and exercise. I would very much like him to be the same way, so that we can both stay fit and able to do God's work. I'd also like the extra motivation to work out when I don't feel like it. ^^; I run a lot, but if his favorite sport is swimming like me -- then bonus points!

I can be very playful, so he'd better have some sort of sense of humor. I want us to be able to have fun all the time, even if it's just the two of us spending a quiet Sunday afternoon alone.

He can't be afraid of expressing love in every possible way. He'd better tell me he loves me. He'd better touch me like he loves me. He'd better treat me like he loves me. he'd better make love to me like....he loves me. He must be tender and gentle and always able to express his deepest of passions in those intimate moments.

I'm a good listener. I want him to open his heart out to me. He can't be afraid of those deep issues. He can't be afraid of shedding tears in front of me. I really appreciate it when someone confides in me, so I most certainly want to be all of that for my future husband. We must be close, we must have no secrets. We are each other's confidantes.

I'm very open to travel and new experiences, so I'd like him to be as well. Even better if he's been places already, especially on mission trips. That would seriously be the coolest thing for us to do together.

He must love me for me. Everything, good and bad. He should be unafraid to be honest and direct with me, because Lord knows I need it sometimes. Even after we argue, I want him to be the man and make the first move. And I want us to kiss and make up for a long time afterward. -_^

I want strangers to be able to whisper to each other about how we "look so much in love" and "make the perfect couple". I think that if there's a good relationship between two people, those feelings should just....glow.
____________________________

The obligatory list of utter and complete turn-offs:

Men who are too slow, too callous, unnecessarily blunt (as in more rude than honest), and have absolutely no sense of intuition or tact utterly annoy me. Being around people like that (male and female alike) drive me insane. That's probably very swollen of me, but I can't bring myself to tolerate them, no matter how hard I try.

Arrogance. Bad. No. Confidence and pride are one thing, an unresolved insecurity complex is quite another. If he's the kind of guy that needs to tote around his latest gadget or the great deal he got on his ultra-expensive whatnot because he's so brilliantly thrifty.....ugh. I know that's a general guy thing, but keep it to a bare minimum, ok? I loathe all superficial tendencies, especially if he starts treating me like his cute little trophy girlfriend as opposed to an equally worthwhile individual human being. >:[

Bad hygeine. Nothing will make me run farther than a guy whose breath is absolutely putrid and seems as though he hasn't been to the dentist since he moved out of his parent's house. Clean yourselves, people!!!

And, this may sound very bizarre, but I have no tolerance for men who fear childbirth. If you want kids, have some guts my friend. I'm not saying my husband has to watch every single contraction (he better not try to film anything, either) but I need some support and he ought to be comfortable staying in the same ROOM, at least. Guys who can't do that at the very least are absolutely pathetic and not worthy of siring offspring.

Males with no sense of emotion or intimacy aren't good for me. I don't need him to fawn over me, be overly sappy, buy me things every anniversary, or even hold my hand in public (not that I mind any of these things!) but I do need for him to be able to make me feel DEEPLY loved. If he's just one of those types that think saying "I love you" on a regular basis demeans the phrase, or that me lovingly touching him whenever I want to is "being too clingy".....bye-bye. I'd hate to one day find myself married to a guy that just wants me to feed him and have sex with him. Ugh. Nightmarish!
Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

"The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case." - Chuck Close[/color]

Indeed. One good thing about dating is that you learn what to avoid in a potential mate. He by no means needs to fit every single little detail, this is merely an overview of my tastes.

And as for anime melons....hmm. I like me some Gene Starwind. I also like both Koji and Ryo from generator gawl. Can I have the two of them? ;;
Beyond all these things put on love, which is the perfect bond of unity.

Most people think I'm weird because I'm not afraid to fight with a real sword.


Well, what did the samurai fight with? :lol:
Heart of Sword's Rhapsody

Money, get away
Get a good job with good pay and you're okay
And all and all you're just another brick in the wall
Shoutin’ in the street gonna take on the world some day
But Bismallah will not let me go
Because I'll see you on the dark side of the moon

Tommy used to work on the docks
Union's been on strike
Bright eyes burning like fire
And exposing every weakness
However carefully hidden by the kids

Who will love a little Sparrow
Who's traveled far and cries for rest
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

I've seen a million faces and I've rocked them all
And if the band youre in starts playing different tunes
We will we will rock you
We will we will rock you!

A good Christian gentleman who is very honest.

With honesty, any fault can be worked with -- I do not loathe forgiveness or hold the past against anyone, because if God could forgive me while I hated Him... I can certainly forgive a man who loves me.

Less essential, but important, someone who has a desire to try helping out in missions, at least short-term. I really would always feel like Jonah if I never went to China or Korea (or anywhere, be it even New York City!) to assist an established mission. Even if it was never permanent, I feel compelled to ask "Why not me?" rather than "Why should I?"

Rather preferential, and something I could get past without much difficulty (if the honesty was very much in place), I like a good family of origin. A non-Christian family is not a reason to avoid someone who is a good Christian himself. However, even Christian families can have control issues that seriously affect a marriage if the in-laws hold too much sway over the gentleman. If there is honesty regarding the situation, and proper boundaries can be set (that allow the in-laws to be part of our lives, but keep them from making decisions that should be left to marriage partners), even the worst of family situations is not a problem to me.

Finally, and least important of anything really, someone who loves me as much as I love them. Infatuation should be at least mutual, and I wouldn't complain if he was more in love with me than vice versa -- I'd just put effort into developing my choice-based love for him to match. However, if I'm more in love than my partner, I can only feel that I would want to cut him loose to find someone who fits better (personality, whatever it is I lack for him). I would not let things progress to marriage or even engagement if I thought he would be happier with another person (even if just hypothetically, because when that hypothesis becomes reality... Which is inevitable if he's really not very enthusiastic about his spouse... Cheating is at the very best a temptation. At the worst, reality.).

So, I'm not very picky. But the few characteristics I want are rare, and something I'm working at in myself as I wait.

And, hey, I am a big fan of Paul. A single missionary can go into disease-ridden areas with less compunction than one who has a family. I'm trying to be open to anything at this age!

Take care, and Godspeed!

Me, I look for first of all, Christianity, Kindness, Honestness, humbelness, Spiritual strength, and a whole bunch of other stuff I can't seem to think of at this moment. I have one man that I have thought of as the perfect husband for a long time, and that is General Robert E. Lee. If you havent done detailed research on his family life, you should. What an amazing Godly man, father, and husband.

For me, I like girls that are:

Cute
Energetic
Not too tall, not too short...around 5 foot maybe.
Not scared to fight in any sort of combat (Aside from guns, I despise them.)

Someone sort of like Misao from RK. How about you?


Five feet!? You'd better get on your hands and knees or you'll never find her.


For me:

I'm say a they'd have to be A)a strong Christian, B)someone I can talk to easily.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

Most of the time when I'm in public a pretty face usually gets my attention, and I have a thing for beautiful hands. But in the long run it is personality and christianity that is most important.

I think of character as a mixture of Rei and Shinji in Neon Genesis.

I think my number one criteria would be that she MUST be a born-again Christian. Whenever I start talking with a girl who I could see myself asking out, the thing running through my mind is "Hmm...I wonder if she's saved?". The Bible talks about being "unequally yoked" and that's something that runs through my mind.

As far as looks, I'm not attracted to girls who are bone thin and look like they need to eat a sandwich. I like darker complexions, brown hair, brown eyes, that kind of thing. Good hygeine is a must. Height doesn't really matter to me, although I do sometimes think that the little, short, 5'0 tall girls are really cute. >_>; Um. Gosh. What else? Oh yeah, hobbies and stuff. She doesn't need to like anime (although I will convert her >_>), or my hobbies or anything. Hopefully she can tolerate my hobbies.

As far as personality, I like someone who has a good sense of humor. That's a must. I joke around a lot and a girl who can joke with me would be awesome. Of course, being romantic sometimes would be nice too. Uh. Yeah, this was interesting.

Kristal*Klear...hm...this is somewhat off-topic, but are you interested in Halo 2 and the ILB conspiracy?

Actually, I have never heard of the ILB conspiracy, and alas, I have not yet had the chance to look into the well talked about Halo 2. Why do you ask??
