Ladies, what characteristics would your ideal man have?

[Anonymous]

My toxic trait is wanting a man that's possessive and slightly controlling. I also like a man that isn't afraid of expressing his emotions and is a cuddly teddy bear.

Define slightly controlling? The only reason I am asking you this, is because I’ve noticed some females’ are confused when it comes to a controlling guy and a dominate guy. A controlling guy will tell a girl what she can and can not do , basically telling her what she can wear , or what she can eat or who she can talk to etc basically being in full control of her actions , A dominate guy is complete opposite , A dominate guy follows boundaries in the relationship , the same way he hopes she will do for him. Basically anything that she doesn’t want him doing to her , should be the same boundaries for her as well Some females’ tend to get this confused when it comes to guys’ a dominate guy, will let his partner know , if she is overstepping boundaries that they established together in the relationship. It’s not controlling at all , it’s called being respectful to each other and the relationship they both chose to be in together , . if she has a problem with him doing something that she doesn’t like , then the same rules need to apply to her as well. If not , it will be considered a double standard. When a girl tells me she doesn’t want me hanging out with other girls’ or going places without her , then she should be doing the same for me as well , For a relationship to work , both partners need to follow the same boundaries or that relationship will not last period. Both partners’ need to respect each other for it to work , it’s not controlling at all, . it’s called being respectful to each other. Anytime a girl tells me I am being jealous or insecure , I just laugh and shake my head and say nope , nothing to do with that whatsoever, you are just disrespecting our relationship , by you not following the same boundaries you want me following for you. How can I be jealous or insecure over something or someone that isn’t mine to begin with? A dominate guy will take lead in the relationship by being loyal and committed to her , the same way he wants her to do for him , the only time I will be a little controlling? , is in the bedroom, but outside the bedroom she is her own person. I will respect her and love her. as long as she respects me and loves me the same. Following the same boundaries for each other. Relationships don’t have to be hard , Selfish people make them hard

How in the world is that toxic? The notion that it would be seems wildly off base. Would you prefer a man who gives zero shits about you?

Kind, caring, generous, respectful, supportive, understanding, patient, very loving, affectionate (loves cuddles, kisses, etc.), appreciative, faithful, and loyal. Be there for me through everything, ups and downs, good and bad, and I'll be there for him too (It goes both ways). Knows how to make time for me and his family even with a busy schedule, but also who's not a major workaholic (if that makes sense). I don't expect anyone who's rich. As long as he has a steady job and can be financially stable, I'm good with that. A family man who loves his family, loves children, wants children and be a great dad to them. Has good communication, tells me about his feelings and emotions, what he's going through, etc (and I'll do the same). Stays loyal and faithful to me and our family. Knows how to have fun and loves it. Someone who can make me laugh and has a good sense of humor. Outgoing, but also laid back, I don't mind both. Introvert or extrovert (doesn't matter). Loves to cuddle, hold hands with me (especially in public), sharing all the hugs and kisses we want. Sex can wait until marriage and I hope he'll respect me for that because I want my first time to be special with that man. Someone who I'll love forever and be in love with. A man who'll love me always, love me for me and my personality and not just my body, also loves my family and gets along with them (I'll love his family as well) Someone who I'll get to grow old with and go through life together ❤️ Everything goes both ways between boyfriend and girlfriend/husband and wife, not one sided. It takes 2 to make the effort work. Happy spouse, happy house❤️

Knows what to say at every moment, loves me more than anyone in the world, funny, charismatic, outgoing, likes to read, smart, likes to go out and do things, likes to cook together, loves cuddling, hugs me when I am crying. LOL he doesn't exist but its fun to imagine.

[IslaTheWitch]

smart... funny... ideally knowing more than me... he has hobbies and other interests... likes sports... me... and sex... :D

[Ez-Bri-Z_v2]

For me, I like a guy with a great sense of humor, and that isn't afraid to show emotions. I'm kind of into dad bods, but without much hair. He also has to be ok with me biting him when making out because that's just a thing I do lmao

[alice55]

100 % loyal if I see a tiny glimpse of him possibly being unloyal towards me then he's for the street XD

After need to love me and be devoted to our relationship, work to make it work and believe in it.

I'm pretty sure I need a controlling man to save me from myself Lol

And loud and rough we me too 🥰

[Sadia26]

He should be kind, supportive and a responsible husband and father. Someone who doesn't associate himself with a lot of promiscuous women (and men) And most importantly treat me with respect just like he would wish to be respected.

[Anonymous]

Respectful, responsible, mature, supportive, attractive ( doesn’t have to be the most handsome but I have to be attracted to him), loves and values me, tries not to hurt my feelings, nice but not a pushover, sets boundaries with other women

[Anonymous]

He's got to be rich with money and drive a lambo.

What if I told you it's not toxic?

[Asker]

It's not? How so?

[Ariesman81]

Just saying... I tend to take better care of things I own.

[Asker]

Damn 😲 Good answer!
