Don't look at me.

Any accent? Or particular ones?
'Cause we've got a lot of midwestern guys here who are waiting to hear that you think they say things all sexy-like.

No, no. Not all midwesterners. Just upper midwesterners. We're the sexy-voiced ones.

Southern like Georgia gentry, or southern like a Dallas oilman?

Barb, I'm having fun quizzing you. I hope you don't mind. I understand the appeal of accents.

dang

Got it.
I'm not a fan of the broad Texan accent - I associate it with a lot of cheek pinching from when I was a kid.
But my cousins from Atlanta have lovely accents.

And I'm partial to the range of South African accents myself.

I like men who have their shit together.

wow britt, that narrows it down

As opposed to scattering it all over the place?

In what way?

Well, it's just some people look for a relationship because they're lonely or they feel that finding someone will solve everything that is wrong about their life, and that puts a lot of pressure on their potential partner because they're not going to fix everything.

So I like it when a man is actually content with his life, and he feels that things are going pretty well for him financially, emotionally, maybe physically. Definitely intellectually. If he's happy with his life, then that happiness can spread to someone else's life as well. I'm already miserable enough; I don't need someone who is as bitter as I am.

In other words, a man who thinks, "I want a relationship because I want to be happy with someone else." Not just "I want a relationship because I need someone to make me happy."

That only leaves a handful :-)

yes. she ain't my cousin no more since her daddy divorced my sister so i guess i am in the clear

A guy who is good at what he does is a huge turn on, especially if he's also got a good sense of humor.
Tall is good, too. :)

I like it when a guy is kinda out of shape.

I like an earth stopping smile. Like the "gets you weak in the knees" smile.

Unfortunately, no one in real life ever does those. Darn the movies for putting such notions in my head.

So...back to reality.

Physical :

It varies. I've dated several different races of men, of all different heights. When I was younger, I preferred the very lean, less muscular frames, but now I'm married to someone that has a few extra pounds on him, so that's been thrown out the window.

Nowadays, I am more attracted to dark hair and taller men that are a little bit broad but not necessarily bulky, although I can appreciate beauty when it's staring me in the face, even if it's not what I'd normally consider attractive.

Personality :

Someone that "gets" me. An appreciation for snarky humor is a must. You don't have to "be" funny, but you have to "understand" funny.

Repeating from the other thread - I like silly cockiness. Straight out arrogance is a turn-off, but confidence and that playful "I know you want me" attitude has always been a huge turn on.

Someone that will go out at 10 at night to get me Starbucks - YAY! I have that!

in no particular order..... eyes that can look right into your soul.
a smile and sense of humor. common sense! smart but doesn't feel he needs to prove it to me. sarcastic. a sense of adventure. knows the difference between a phillips and a standard. knows what a RYOBI is. playful. will cook me dinner and rub my feet. has an opinion and not afraid to discuss/challenge/argue with me and then be over it and take me to bed (or wherever)

I HATE the Daleks' voice.

I like all those things Petra mentions but I also have to include -- I love a good hug. (No, I am not using a euphemism here.)

Sing to me like a Dalek just totally cracked me up.

I like crooked , almost bashful smiles, and I love it when I guy works my name into conversation.
Ex:"Heather, you wouldn't believe...". Something about hearing a man you're attracted to say your name sends a little thrill thru you.

And I like a snyd sense of humor, goofy humor grates after a while.

Intellectual humor attracts me. That's why I'm here.

sorry you have been so disappointed

I love it when a guy understands my pop culture references. LOVE IT

Me too. That's why I keep throwing myself at Phil.

::blushes::

Awwww.

If it means you'll stay Jan, I'll try to pick my level up a bit.

Daleks look like salt and pepper shakers.

If you have to try ....

A liberal, but not a knee jerk one. He has to be aware, and pay attention, to me and the world around him. Of course, at my age, it also helps if he's breathing.

I think that saying "knee jerk" is such a knee jerk reaction.

great eyes (I don't know how to describe it, and I can't just say "eyes")
strong forearms
quiet confidence

He has to make me laugh--with him not at him--deeply and often.

nice hands (not thick/fat/stumpy)
kind and respectful of humanity in general
ignorant of most pop culture references
smart without being a snob or an elitist

You just described my husband. You can't have him!
