This is not in any kind of order of importance…Things I prefer in my ideal mateTrust/Faithfulness- One who trusts me and one who is trustable. One who does not assume that I am doing something bad if it takes me more than ten minutes to run to the store, one who trusts me with their life, their kid’s life, faithfulness, money, etc. and one who I can trust for all of the same things.Respect- One who respects me and one who is respectable.Friendship- One who thinks of me as his best friend, and wants to be with me most of the time and prefers to be in my company more than he likes to be with others.Cleanliness- One who likes to have good hygiene and likes to help keep the home clean.Masculine and Feminine traits- One who can work on the car/truck and can build things but yet still likes to cook sometimes, garden and clean sometimes etc.Sex Drive- Has to wait until our wedding night to have sex with me. I prefer one who does not have a very small penis. That may sound shallow, but I am keeping it real, and I need someone who is sexually compatible with me. He needs to like making love at least once a day or more, because I love sex and want to enjoy it with my partner. One who will accept when I am shy and accept when I am not shy. One who is tender at the right time and one who is compassionate as well as passionate at the right time. Looks- I would prefer one to have dark hair and light colored eyes. Or light haired men with any color of eyes. I also like dark skinned like Mexican, Italian or like an Indian from India. It is not a necessity but it would be nice. I would also prefer one who does NOT have facial hair. I really do not want a hairy man either. I want someone who does not really care what I look like because he loves me, but who still thinks that I am beautiful even when I am not. I want someone who would never take me to my mothers wearing a holy, stained shirt with no sleeves, cut off shorts and wearing work boots with long baggy socks all at the same time! Come on! Have a little bit of class people! I can see it if the man is poor, but if he has nicer clothes…WEAR THEM! If he has money to buy nicer clothes…BUY THEM! Talent- I would like to have a man that can play an instrument. Piano and guitar would be awesome. This is a bonus item and not a demand.As far as Money goes- I am not concerned with having a lot of money, but I do not want to starve, I want to keep my kids in nice clothes, have enough to pay my tithes to the Lord, be able to give nice gifts, and have shelter. I have lived like the Amish before for a year…I can make it through tough times, but I can not stand stinginess.Prideless- I can not stand pride! That is a word that the devil has tried and tried to make sound good, and it is the reason for his fall. I like honor and morals, but I can not stand pride. It is the reason for destruction of relationships. Everyone needs to keep his or her egos in check! Forgiveness is the key!Humor- I want someone with a good sense of humor and who does not get mad over little stuff. Don’t sweat the small stuff.Communication- Again, I want someone who can discuss differences in an enjoyable fashion…reason being, because discussing things and talking about things can get situations solved. Pointing blame DOES NOT solve anything, but calmly discussing matters at hand can help one another see the others point of view and even accept that you may not see eye to eye on everything but find a way to work with that. Ignoring problems only makes them grow larger. Do not walk away from a disagreement unless you need time to pray, think, or unless you want to get violent. Playing games- I want someone who likes to play board games with me. That may sound stupid, but it is very important to me, and he can not be a sore loser!Things in common- very important! One who likes to go bowling, swimming, walking through the woods, riding, taking country drives, playing board games, likes to watch discovery channel, haunting stories, forensic science, psychology, aquariums, reading the Bible, praying together, walking in the rain, making love on a Virginian hill in the pouring down rain (hahaha one can dream), writing poetry together or taking interest in reading mine, drawing together, going to movies, going to plays, having the same beliefs, and the same taste in music is very important as well. I can not stand evil music and some country I can not hack nor do I like rap. I am a love song type of person.NON CONTROLLING- I do not want any control freaks! I had them already. He needs to realize we are a team, and we are a unit, and that we are both equally important.Rubs me- I want someone who likes to give me massages…not because he wants to have sex, but rather because I hurt and I like to be rubbed. If he meets number sixes criteria then he will not have to worry about ever getting turned down for making love.Accepts my Children- Only my youngest girl lives with me full time. Even though the older ones have issues, the man in my life must be patient with them but yet help me to deal with their issues in a respectable manner. It would be nice to have someone who really cared for all of them and wanted to help them be the best person that they can be. HE HAS TO BE CHRISTIAN- This is the Most Important to me! He has to be! He has to be a good spiritual leader for the family. He has to read the word, apply it to his life and pray with the family. He has to have a strong desire to be a godly man and to be spiritually compatible with me…equally yoked is a must! DO NOT LIKE tatoos and no strange piercings pleaseNo alcoholics or drug addictsNo creepy deep sounding voices. A tenor sounding voice would be nice BUT ITS NOT A REQUIREMENT.Intelligence. I want a smart man. Book-smart, common sense, etc.I do not particularly want an older man but if he were older, I would be very picky about it. He would have to act young but not immature! In other words he needs to be active and full of life and energy.
