I liked Solid's reply. I fell in love with my H for a reason..I liked his qualities and, back then, he was on his best behavior to make the most of said good qualities. So he was being himself, only moreso.
At any rate, here is my list:
1. Self assuredness 2. Hard working 3. Physically strong 4. No scaredy cats 5. Has the capacity to love and commit, with ferocity--no wishy washy-ness 6. Goes after what he wants, in a kind and respectful way 7. Courteous 8. Gentle when needed 9. In touch with his emotions but no crybaby, all the same 10. Loves his kids and cares for them, body and soul 11. He hates to see his lady cry 12. Has a good appetite (LOL, what can I say..I think cheffy food with 4 ounces total on the plate is baloney) 13. Does the right thing 14. Is able to stand by his convictions and beliefs and not be swayed by the crowd 15. Is adept at catching mice and changing light bulbs and oil. Jumps out of bed at the first sound of the boogey man or a crying child. Is good at lawn mowing and weed whacking. Likes to paint and do honey-do projects. 16. Knows how to buy a car and get the most vehicle for your money. (btw, I once had a car salesman call me a week after my H bought a truck and he said, I just wanted you to know that your H got a GOOD deal on that car..I shouldn't have let it get away at that price. I replied, Okaaaaaaaay. Then he made some remark about wanting to check on how H liked his purchase but I secretly think he was just calling to grouse) 17. Does not like to craft or scrapbook or any other 'female' hobby. 18. Is a good listener to his wife and children. 19. Comes straight home after work because he misses his family. 20. Compassionate 21. Strong during a crisis 22. And, FINALLY, has uncontrollable passion for his woman.
How's that for a list!
This was very thought provoking and I could have kept going and going but I understand that no one wants to read long posts.
I have to tell you, NOP, that I thought of my H as I was writing this out--he was my inspiration. Is this some kind of reverse psychology deal where you are secretly trying to get us all to love and appreciate our fellas more? It's working!
