| A guy should never marry a woman for her looks. I mean, if having kids don't ruin her body then old age will change her looks. Aside from that, whats the point? If you're that superficial, then you should just stay a bachelor and enjoy women for their fleeting loveliness. |

Though there are so many things that I find appealling about my wife, there are also many things that are not....
I can't look at her and decide what it was or what things about her made me want to marry her, because in the end it was love, not just because she was pretty, not just because she was fun, not just because she had a razor wit, not just because she was one of the best arguers I had ever tried to argue with, but because she was all of these things...
I do wish that she would get out of her system the need to solve every problem in our lives before we go to bed at night. Who ever came up with that idea that you should never go to bed mad at each other is an idiot, because in the time that it takes to figure out the problem, you have lost so much sleep that the next day just makes you more miserable, more tired, and just tends to perpetuate the cycle. Wouldn't it have been easier just to sleep on it and figure it out over coffee in the morning.
I just know that the next day is going to be so awful when I feel her sitting up straight, hear a giant sigh, and feel the light come on.... 
P.S. sillywilly is absolutely right... |

| In my family, we marry women for their height. At 5'9" I tower over my 5'3" father, who in turn was taller than his father, who in turn was taller than his father. Each married a woman taller than himself. I've fallen in love with many women that I couldn't marry because they're too short. A desirable genome is important in a woman. I don't want to marry somebody of the same ethnic group because my children would be riddled with expressed recessive genes. Also, I want my children to be fine looking, tall, and have long lifespans. They say look at a woman's mother to see how she'll turn out. I want to meet her great grandmother and see the lady's medical history. |

A few things that do say 'marriage material' more than other things.. and they are 'faithfulness' and 'easy to be around'.
A lot of men marry women who aren't that attractive based on the fact they figure the woman has little interest/desire to cheat on them. Most marriage comes down to this. Who can I trust to share half of my life with? (However, major bonus points for hot AND faithful).
The other one is 'easy to be around'.. meaning is she cool and laid-back?
In short, for marriage, I don't want a bunch of emotional ups and downs and various issues/crap to deal with on a regular basis.. in regards to all the other characteristics listed in the poll.. they are just bonus points..
That being said.. its my own characteristic I look for.. and that is a woman who will be keeping her figure for a long time into the future.. partly because of my own physical characteristics (and I have certain expectations to be around someone else who is also easily active/mobile and has similar eating habits to my own).
(Anyhow thats marriage material qualities.. particularly the 'faithfulness' and 'easy to be around'.. for casual dating, all that stuff goes out the window!)
AFTER WRITING ALL THIS OUT I JUST REALIZED I INADVERTANTLY CHOSE "Personality/Character" FOR MARRIAGE MATERIAL!! |

You're absolutely right! As a proverb says:"Morning is wiser than evening".I also prefer figuring problems out in the morning! |

| Babayaga, this is the third thread you've posted very recently concerning what men want in a woman. Are you trolling? You must be, but in case you're not - why do you care so much about what men think of you? I mean, three threads? There's more to life than how some man sees you. Find yourself girl. Or keep trolling cuz it is funny. |

I have a one--track mind. I get obssessed with one topic at a time.(Next time it will be something else!) Also,I like to create a diversion:just look at all the replies I got! Is that "trolling" by the way? |

I like a woman who can make me laugh alot. Being a bit dour at times it really helps me to have a gal to cheer me up. She doesn't need to be a beauty queen, or a porno star in the bed.
Being able to cook a little is nice, and as I don't mind cleaning up I have no problem trading off with a woman. She cooks, I have no problem cleaning.
The biggest concern I have with any gal is if she is ultimately totally dependant on me for her friendship needs. Please oh please make friends my dear, and even go out with them to a film on occasion, Old Dan the Chainsawman likes to get with his Dungeons and Dragon buddies and spend endless hours burning stuff down, and slaughtering villagers. |

She should love the Lord above all things. All the other things are important, but they won't matter for eternity.
I thought I would bring a Christian perspective!!!
