Self control - someone who knows what is important and right, and does it. This encompasses loyalty and integrity.

Intelligent - someone who thinks deeply, is curious, reads.

Fun - I want to look forward to spending time together, affectionate, playful.

Amazing how important kindness is to so many of us. I feel sure that if you asked men what women want they'd never put kindness that high up the list.

That he makes me feel safe.
That he makes the world a better place, by being in it.
That we can read and write together

Emotionally warm rather than cold or mechanical.
Interesting to talk to.

Someone I can properly talk to/relax with
Someone who isn't repulsive to look at

Sounds simple - surprisingly challenging to find all three in the same person!

Similar to the other older posters, I’m now in my 50s and the top three things for me are

He needs to be gorgeous and sexy and able to win any disagreement by simply taking his shirt off. So he needs to be fit, healthy and active (but only activities we can do together)

Able to run a house, cook, clean, shop, without direction or management. I don’t need another child.

Solvent and good with money.

It took me a long time and a lot of heartache and money to realise this.
