Ladies. What factors do you look for in a potential boyfriend?

I heard this question on the radio recently.

Tiffany Hadish was asked that. She mentioned that she wants a man to have a credit score of at least 675. Because if a bank wouldn't trust a man to loan him money, why would she allow him inside her?

So ladies what do you look for?

Tiffany Haddish is a comedian, this may not have been an entirely serious answer...

Looks and money. And by looks I mean at least 6'4" tall, not bald, and not fat.

The answer is "a good person." Looks and everything else are irrelevant.

About as PERFECT as showing off a good person wife as opposed to a trophy wife. She old and has crooked ass teeth but she's a good person!

As a she, I'll take a 'he' that is old, bald, saggy, and has crooked ass teeth (or maybe none at all) over a nasty hunk any day.

Eventually, many of us (if lucky) grow old and our looks change. I've been with my spouse for over 50 years and we are both so different looking that so long ago. And even though our thoughts have evolved through the decades, a 'good' person usually stays that way unless there is some kind of medical illness taking place.

Damn, that's old! What was it like way back then before Benjamin Franklin invented electricity?

Yes! I've had the same BFF for 32 years and he was initially a boyfriend. We met when I was homeless, and he let me move in after knowing me for just 4 days. He has lost some teeth and a small part of his jaw due to cancer and he's lost most of his hair, but he's a sweetheart. heart

As for why we aren't together... I'm not attracted to anyone anymore and he doesn't want a girlfriend. If I did want a man, I'd look for someone like him. He's living with another ex-girlfriend - the one before me. laugh out loud

hopefully you're at least 5' 10" with a dump truck of an a$$, big b00bs, long hair, athletic shape and can take care of your own bills.

After being in a bad marriage and am now in a good marriage, here is my list in no particular order. I'm sure I have forgotten somethings.

Even keeled - No flying off the handle, no throwing things, hitting walls, no anger issues.
Not abusive - includes physical and emotional abuse. No hitting, no name calling, no silent treatment.
Not an addict
Responsible - Reliable
A good parent
Someone who lives within their means - You don't have to be rich but you better not be in debt over your head.
Independent
Clean - this includes their body and their home.
Sense of humor
Smart
Open-minded
Handy
Not a cheater

I read somewhere that older women (50+) are less likely to get married again. One reason is that they are done with raising their children and don't want to have to be a mother to their husband. I have also seen it stated that they feel men are looking for a "nurse or a purse" .
