I'm not sure I have one as such. It's not necessarily about looks for me:
Funny
Clever
Compassionate
Moral
Ethical
Honest
Faithful
Artistic/Musical
Not racist, sexist, homophobic, misogynistic...
Non-smoker
Likes animals

I probably prefer skinny over muscular or 'dad bod', and fair hair over dark. But bald can be good. Or hairy. It really doesn't matter that much - it's about all of the relevant qualities.

Sounds like the perfect man tbh

Oh, he is! 😁

UnctuousUnicorns · 12/03/2026 23:58

Tall
Dark hair
Pale skin
Brown eyes
I.e. nothing like the man I've been with for the past 30 + years, and been married to for the past 27! 🤷‍♀️ 😂

When I was younger I was all about comedians, and could never understand the girls that had posters of ripped, muscular, Brad Pitt types.

I'm 44 now, and by Christ muscles work for me these days. Still not into Brad Pitt, but give me Simu Liu, or any of the really tall Gladiators. Please.

Don't need them to be funny, I'm funny.

Random321 · 12/03/2026 23:59

Funny
Intelligent
Kind
Loyal
Driven (not necessarily career but has to be ambitious or passionate about something - not lazy)

Looks wise - good smile, kind eyes and not skinny/weedy looking.

A man who makes me laugh, is open hearted and minded. Does something worhtwhile and makes the world a better place. Is willing to bring me breakfast in bed once a week at least. Is 100% equal in terms of housework and input into bills etc. Is up for going out but equally happy to hang at home. Has a wide range of friends and interests (some the same), happy for me to be free and do what I want within the agreed terms of our relationship. Which is monogmous. Loves kids, animals and is good with my parents. Not an inch of racism, sexism or twatism. Intelligent yet silly sometimes.
Works hard and plays hard. Is into sport but not too much. Can cook a mean roast.,Will look after me when incredibly ill. Just hope DH stays around a bit more (26 years in!)

Ha! Viper is my favourite. So gorgeous (if a little petulant, but it’s all an act…I hope).

Same... I might have a muscular Asian thing going on.

ValueofNothing · 13/03/2026 00:09

Short (genuinely, I'm a short woman and I don't like being loomed over). Dark eyes, stubble, dark hair. Likes walking. Sense of humour. Sense of absurdity/whimsy. OK with spontaneity.

Jugglingeggs · 13/03/2026 00:11

In no particular order
Professional, no children , no tattoos ,non smoking or drugs ,moderate drinking, serious but funny too , well educated , intelligent, slightly right of centre but not too much , generous , thoughtful and kind , a reader , someone with passion for what he believes in , ambition and drive but not ruthlessly so , quiet , loyal , medium height and build , lovely voice , well spoken and articulate, someone who likes doing much the same things that I like and can afford the time money and energy to do them , good manners , clean and tidy without being extreme , quietly confident , interested in the world, travelling , nature , politics, history , architecture etc someone with some get up and go but also happy to relax , someone who doesn’t bore me

ToffeePennie · 13/03/2026 00:13

Funny, tall, dark eyes. Good arms. A foodie so I don’t care about his belly/size.
Most importantly, must be kind.
good job I already have him.

Was going to write something myself but this pretty much nails it

whatwouldlilacerullodo · 13/03/2026 00:23

Tall, broad shoulders, big dick, enthusiastic about life, intelligent and quick-witted, ambitious, confident enough not to feel threatened by me.

GreenCaterpillarOnALeaf · 13/03/2026 00:23

Idk what this says about me but everyone I’ve ever dated has at some point been mistaken for my brother. Awkward. I like brown hair, prefer curly hair and normally brown eyes. But to be honest everyone I’ve dated kind of looks like me.. which is maybe a little odd.

I also like a man who looks kind of spooky, I can’t fully articulate what I mean but a lot of my friends think the men I think are handsome are weird looking.

DH has green eyes which are really nice too and is tall and skinny like Jarvis Cocker who I loved as a child. I still love Jarvis now but unfortunately he’s too old for me. When we first started dating a bouncer at Garage told us we look like brother and sister which I thought was weird, but I think he’s handsome so in a weird way I took it as a compliment.

Personality wise they have to be confident a passionate. I can’t date someone who doesn’t have a passion or love for something because I am very passionate about things. One thing I really love about my husband is that he is unembarrassable and he doesn’t care what people think about him. This makes him so easy to go out and have fun with - and I think the fact we enjoy actually going out, having fun and being silly is why I am so happy with him.

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 13/03/2026 00:30

I wish I knew!

Looks wise- dark hair and dark eyes, I like a big nose, don’t mind about height either way

I’d mainly like someone kind and reliable, I think. Brave, not selfish. I do like a sense of humour.

They do have to have progressive/ liberal views - just to agree that we’re all of equal value and deserve the same opportunities. Not going to fall out with someone over finer points of economic policy but to broadly care about people is a must.

I’m currently single as might be obviously! Have had somewhat of a car crash of a love life (and not that much of it, all things considered!)
