The chance of finding a decent would be a fine thing.

Big willy and big wallet

PermanentTemporary · 12/09/2022 20:08

Now in my 50s;
Likes sex a lot
Is interested in art, history and music
Has had children (but ideally they've grown up)
Has an income and pays their own bills
Is pleasant to and about his ex partner(s)

That'll do me.

Antarcticant · 12/09/2022 20:08

Reasonable level of intelligence, reasonable overlap with my tastes and interests, compatible sense of humour and outlook, a kind and decent person.

Bigger thighs than mine, doesn't wear skinny jeans

Watchthesunrise · 12/09/2022 20:20

Twinkle in his eye; nice to talk to; a large amount of get-up-and-go; good at fixing stuff and building stuff (otherwise what's the point).

SmellsLikeMiddleAgeSpirit · 12/09/2022 20:22

Relaxed, easy going, good humoured and intelligent.
I much prefer intelligence to good looks... though of course I wouldn't say no to both!

I own my own home and car. Work full time and pay my own way. I don't wear skinny jeans. That'll have to do. Oh, I'm also a trainee pianist.

Takentomybed · 12/09/2022 20:35

Looks like he could win in a fight but would never start one

YoSofi · 12/09/2022 20:36

Not a dick.

ODFOx · 12/09/2022 20:40

The ability to plaster a wall.
My husband ( much like and respected under normal circumstances) won't leave and cannot plaster.
If a competent plasterer came calling I'd have to lock DH in a cupboard for a couple of days. To be fair, we need a free plasterer so badly he'd probably agree to it !

MyChair3855 · 12/09/2022 20:59

Funny, more than anything they HAVE to have an amazing sense of humour. Dark, crude, sarcastic sense of humour is best. It's what gets us through the harder times.

OrlandointheWilderness · 12/09/2022 22:15

Kind, decent. Likes a good meal out or a night in. Considerate. Good work ethic, strong family values. Sense of humour and unflappable easy going nature. Strong but open to talking about how they feel.
Looks wise, think Viking. Tall, big built. Hairy. Beard. Gorgeous eyes and sexy arms.

Obviously you lot can't have him, because he is all mine! 😂

Draughtycatflapreturns · 12/09/2022 22:18

selection of tupperware.

Nice teeth
Neat bottom
Makes me laugh
Good kisser.

HardLanding · 12/09/2022 23:31

Employed, but wouldn’t mind if they were a student either, be hypocritical of me if I did considering I didn’t do a degree till my 30s.

No kids of their own and doesn’t want any.

Grasps the fact that my DCs don’t want nor need a “Dad”, they’ve got a good one, thanks.

No addiction issues.

Busy - because I am too, and the last man I dated (pre Covid), only worked part time, had no hobbies etc, was needy beyond belief and the second time he pitched a fit about me not responding fast enough was the last because I stopped seeing him.

For the love of fuck, they have to be pro choice. Because on the off chance my sterilisation fails, I will not be continuing a pregnancy. It’s also a decent indicator for how they view women.

Not particularly fussed about physical appearance; my 3 serious relationships couldn’t have looked more different if they tried.

bananamum13 · 13/09/2022 00:15
