Do you ever watch a movie and completely fall for the main character because he's perfect everything? It just got me thinking... what are some traits you want (or have) in a perfect guy?

I have a wonderful boyfriend who I've known 5 months now. He is nearly perfect for me. He is open, honest, caring, loving, gentle, affectionate and my best friend. One of his best traits is that he accepts me for who I am and doesn't try to change me. I feel so lucky to have him in my life.

My favorite main character "perfect" man for this week (yes, it changes often) is Bill Rancic...oh, have you seen this man!

My "perfect" guy would be and is...

Intelligent, responsible,funny, loving, respectful, hard-working, goofy, charming, tall, dark haired and handsome, w/strong shoulders and big biceps :)

Qualities I love that I didn't know I needed/wanted but have...excellent camping skills (packs and unpacks the car and sets up all tents), can make a great fire indoors and out of doors, can leap over a fence in a single bound, can teach the boys how to properly jump and roll so they do not hurt themselves, can hold his breath for 4 whole laps in the pool and teach the boys to skin/scuba dive, is extremely good with children and has the ability to make us all laugh! Who knew these traits would be SO VERY SEXY?

I am lucky enough to have all of this in my man, who I know loves me very much and takes me and my less than ideal family for who I/we are....and who even after all these years (13+) flexes his arm muscles every time I touch him, just because he knows I like it!

I don't think my husband is 'perfect' but he is amazing. He also was an experiment, completely UNLIKE all the other guys I had been dating. They weren't working out so I had to do something different.

I think the first thing is that he doesn't take himself too seriously. As a matter of fact, he makes me laugh every day. Can make me see the humor in almost everything!

We had been dating probably 6 months and he hadn't made a pass at me yet and asked him why. He said that he knew from the minute he saw me we would get married and it would be worth waiting for!

He is probably the perfect dad/father! I tend to be the emotional, easily freaked out parent. He is logical, rational and makes the kids think about what they are doing good or bad.

He is a saint of a son in law. Period.

He is a wonderful son, brother and uncle. Have you ever see the movie 'Uncle Buck' with John Candy? That would be my husband and all my nephews and nieces know it! Our kids do too.

We've been together 24 years and married 22 this fall.

Perfect? No. But darn near close!

interesting question! i wonder what movie it was......honestly I am very lucky to have a NEAR perfect man: hardworking, honest, intelligent, responsible, of course good looking, provider, loving, he makes scrafices for the better of his family, amazing really active father, easy going, someone I can talk to, someone I can be myself crazy and all and he would still love me, someone who loves me and still thinks I am beautiful even after all my weight gain, c-section scar and saggy nursing breast and even if i dont think I am beautiful, a giving lover, a true partner that will help out around the house and w/ my DD even after a long long day at work, will take care of my DD w/ no complaints after his long day and helping out around the house if I need a break, one who will listen to me saying I am tired from playing at the park all day after he is tired from working a job he hates so that I can stay home and play at the park all day, he can make my DD laugh by being totally silly and he lets her paint his toe nails pink and leaves them pink too, he teachs her so many diff things esp to be herself, have fun and to be brave and daring, some one who would rather play w/ a group of kids than talk to a group of adults at a party, trusting to the point where I never have to question him or wonder bc if he says it then it is true, see I have the perfect guy.....w/ that being said I wish he were a bit cleaner, and more romantic but I would not trade one thing he has to add one of these! I bet he has more amazing perfect qualities but I just cant think of them right now!

Lol! Doesn't exist! Incidentally, neither does the "perfect woman". Only God is perfect.

Okay, now that I've given the answer that I "should" I'll give you the answer I'm dying to really give.... ;)

Yes, I have totally fallen for the leading man before. For example, Ryan Gosling in "The Notebook"...I start sweating just thinking about it, lol!!! Anyways, I think that "perfection" in this sense is all about personal taste.

For me, my hubby is near to perfect. He is:

Responsible
Hard working
Intelligent
Handsome
Fun to be around
A good provider
A loving partner (VERY *ahem* "loving" :P)
An excellent father
Has a great sense of humor, makes me laugh
Respectful
A good listener
Conservative (this is a bigge, we're both VERY political - I'm sure no one on here has figured that out about me yet! lol!)
Shares my beliefs (another biggie and way too often discounted as a possible source of strife)
Treats me like I'm the most important thing in his life
Cares about and is willing to work on, our marriage and communication

The list goes on. These are the things that I looked for in a man. He is what I was lucky enough to find.

I think Riley J. took my thoughts right out of my head. When I think of my husband, I think of how much we laugh together and how much I just love to hear his laugh! They always say a smile can light up a room, well that's my husband's laugh for ya! I love that my husband is easy-going, good-natured and never meets a stranger. And might I add, oh-so handsome!!!

For me... the number one thing would be laughter. The ability to handle tough and easy situations with grace & good humor. And kindness.

Laughter & Kindness.

Everything else would be negotiable.

brad pitt!.................ha ha without the arrogance, give me brad pitts looks, will smiths personality, anthony hopkins distinguished style,johnny depps wild side, ....or , could i just have my husband?, clean shaven, likes doing the dishes and always ready to say im right while doling out a back massage a day.

lol

in all seriousness,i need a good father, great daddy, 1st! i really like a prominent masculine bone structure, nice forearms, not a lick of jealousy (not even the innocent kind) and flaws, the kind of flaws that become endearing, and only annoying sometimes. i also have never wanted a man to not be able to stand being apart from me, i like my space and respect a man who needs it too.

but if i had to pick a "perfect "man character" in a movie, or tv show......echmmmmmmm....aiden on sex and the city, enough said

Funny how my ideal of a perfect-looking guy (tall, blond, broad shoulders - my college boyfriend was a 6'4" stud) and my husband' ideal of a hot woman (long natural hair, big boobs - based on comments about college girls he dated) is TOTALLY not who we ended up with. He is dark haired and barrel chested and only 1 inch taller than I am, and I am almost flat chested and have super-short hair. But we have been very happily married for 22 years and have 2 great daughters ages 10 and 13. If I had married my college boyfriend we would have been divorced soon after college. I tell my girls to marry a man who makes them laugh with smart jokes. So intelligence and joy/optimism and an outgoing nature have made our marriage work. I have always lusted after Hugh Jackman in "Someone like you" with Ashley Judd. What a fun question to post, thanks!

I like a smart independent man. I am not going to be a grown man's mommy. He also has to be motivated. I am not a hyper person but when I do something I get it done. I love to laugh and sing. I want a man who can keep me dancing and does not mind me being silly.
