Serious Question with disclaimer (Sorry necessary here)

Asking the fellas what character traits do you like to see in a gal?
Sassy or sweet? Girlish or tomboy?
Classy or not so classy?
What traits do you find unattractive?
If you can , please explain why you like or hate those traits?

Please nothing about appearance or anything sexual, not asking that question.

I want to know what attracts you from a personality point of view and what repels you . Long term relationship status.

I want to be a keeper to my fella and am seeking out male opinions.

Thanks
Rae

This is not a flippant comment, but why would you want to be anything but yourself. The biggest mistake people make, is try to transform themselves into something they think the other person might like.

That's a recipe for disaster.

The same goes for those who think they mold someone to fit what they're looking for.

Just be yourself, if you're looking for a long term relationship.

@Justmeraeagain I may look at things differently from you, but anything involving "attitude" seems to be a "family of origin" issue, and that requires an in-depth examination, with a therapist. It's also something you do for yourself, not someone else.

Wondering if you should set your elbows on the table, during a date, that's something you can change.

@Northwest I know that's a prominent attitude now that you should be able to be yourself no matter how rotten that self is;I think that's where a lot of broken relationships come from.
I think male and female both benefit from knowing how the other person is feeling or thinking and if it's a small thing you can change to please somebody in my book that's okay if not asking you to deny your personality or do something you would not be comfortable doing then that is an unreasonable request.

I believe you're talking about EQ (emotional quotient or emotional intelligence). It's about paying close attention to your partner's needs/thoughts, and responding appropriately. That's one of the most valuable assets in a successful relationship.

Classy. Feminine. Broadly similar outlook, capable of arguing calmly and rationally when we disagree. Some similar tastes and interests, but also some different ones. One of the most important things in a relationship, in my opinion, is that both parties should be happy that their partner has some time to him/herself and pursues interests which don’t involve the other. Accordingly, the most unattractive traits would be jealousy and clinginess. Hope that helps.

@MartinII Thanks for input
When I was looking for a sister-in-law for one of my brothers, the notion was to get to reach an all rounder who is well grounded, who is educated, yet not boastful and actually humble to let others less educated put forth their point of view, who could bind a family with her affectionate ways and keep my brother her foremost priority.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@sspec I am sure thier are different opinions but I think affection is under rated many times.
@Justmeraeagain Probably. Whatever it be, each one may get what they look for and later should be able to keep that bond for life.
BigAssLeech · 31-35, M
Everyone will have a different answer obviously. It depends on what they want from the relationship. One of the main things I find attractive is passion; for a specific cause, a hobby, an interest, whatever. I think it's so fun to be able to talk to someone about these things and see how they light up and get excited about discussing them. Kindness towards people and other living things is also a very important trait to me. If someone is passionate, kind, and has a compatible sense of humor to mine, I don't really care about much else. Traits I find repulsive should be pretty obvious. Unnecessary meanness, cruelty. Things like that

Ultimately tho, regardless of men's opinions, you should just be yourself. You shouldn't adhere to what a man wants to be considered a keeper. Just find a man who likes you as you are
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@BigAssLeech I find that if bitter and unhappy about everything that might be being yourself ,but it's hardly going to make anyone want you.
The problem with individuality, no matter how rotten that individual is, they're not too many people that are going to keep taking certain personality traits at the expense of themselves.
Nothing wrong with changing if it makes me a better person and if there are certain things guys like that are not unreasonable and I don't find it a burden to do those things I still believe I'm being myself.

Smart, intelligent, sweet, caring, classy, good humor, kind and modest. Those are good qualities.

Poor attitude, slvtty behavior, overinflated sense of importance and an ego the size of planet Mars - bad qualities.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@rrraksamam Thanks for input
A sharp mind highlighted by a sharper sense of humor. Soft gentle kind. Feminine but not overly girly. The humor thing though. If you can laugh with someone everything else is really mute.

Things I don’t like? Passive aggressive comments. Expected to be a mind reader. Easily offered. Overly concerned with trivial things. IE “what will the neighbors think!?”

That’s about it in a nutshell Even all this can be overlooked with a great sense of humor
@Justmeraeagain again. Great sense of humor trumps everything bad
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Quoththeraven oh, use to fish with my dad ... So I got that one! LoL
@Justmeraeagain yes you do😉
Montanaman · M
Strong. Not needy or confused about who she is. Honest. Good sense of humor, fun loving. Not afraid to try new things. Comfortable with her sexual persona. Not afraid to risk.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Montanaman
Oh, dear
I have anxiety; so risk and leaving comfort zone is what I struggle with.
Montanaman · M
@Justmeraeagain That's okay, a good man would stick by you for better or worse and help you through your anxiety, allowing you to venture out of your comfort zone 😉 🤗🥰

They say opposites attract but I disagree......
I want a woman just as tacky as me.
Not too classy.
Sassy can be kind of nice.
She has to be into playing music of some sort. Preferably a singer to accompany me with my guitar.
She can't smoke drink or do drugs.
But I think the most important thing that I need from a woman is she has to be good with kids.
Not just not screaming and hollering or hitting them. But she has to actually like being around them and help nurturing them and guide them in the right direction.
I could overlook a lot of stuff for a woman who is good with kids.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Dainbramadge Sounds reasonable
DrWatson · 70-79, M
When I was dating, I definitely was drawn to sweet more than sassy. (Or, to take the classic internet comparison, Mary Ann rather than Ginger!).

I married someone who attracted me because she was kind, a deep thinker, a person of religious faith, someone I could have freely roaming conversations with about just about anything, had a sense of humor, liked MY sense of humor!, valued education, and liked to do fun things that would make us laugh.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@DrWatson You got a keeper 😁
Ferric67 · M
I like smart, clever, funny and assertive women who have their own agendas irrelevant of mine.

I don't like women who think that they can decide what is best for me...I can do that myself thank you. Don't get me wrong I can discuss and reason through things, so anyone who is out to just boss me around...it's not a good fit. Those people should just get a dog.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Ferric67 thanks for responce
Disguised · 56-60, M
Someone who is happy and content with how they are..
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@Disguised Is important
Kae20 · 56-60, FVIP
Are there any reasons why your not asking him ?
Or an Ex , male friend maybe?

Attraction is an individual preference. Making the guys above ideal candidates to ask.

I did the same and interestingly although non of the men knew of wach other. They each responded with the same answer definitely insightful 🎊

hmmm
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
I like a mix of sassy and sweet, a girl who doesn't mind occasionally getting her hands dirty is a plus. Sense of humor is very important. Hopefully, we're compatible politically and faith-wise, too, but that's not as important to me.

Unattractive traits: tactlessness, no impulse control, no filter, financially irresponsible, bad/poor communication, head games.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@uncalled4 head games suck
DDonde · 31-35, M
For me it’s not an exclusive either or thing with personality types. It’s more about the big picture of how compatible we are as individuals (sexually, romantically, and as friends) and how much I like her as a person in general. As far as long term relationships are concerned. I wouldn’t stick around in a relationship with someone I didn’t like or who didn’t really like me.
Justmeraeagain · 56-60, F
@DDonde Never good if they don't like you

@ChemDawg I think arrogance is a turnoff for most.
