men only! what are some qualitys you look for in your significant other before proposing to her?

Question

and, what would turn you off to even propose to her ?

Answer 1

(THIS IS UNDER MY FIANCEE'S NAME BUT A GUY SPEAKING!) When I proposed to her, it was because I could truly see a future with her. It wasn't just that I loved her smile, her personality, her looks and her heart, it was cos she made me feel like i could do anything and yet still feel safe. She's amazing, and thats why i proposed, to keep her in my life forever. There's nothing a woman can do to MAKE their partner propose, but you just have to trust that love will run its course.

Answer 2

The qualities that I look for in my woman is smarts, she gots to be a woman in the streets, and a street girl in the bed (good loving). Turn offs, this is the opposite of what I like. I do not want a woman that can not hold a decent conversation, but can only offer good sex. SEX, is not all to life. It's important yes, but don't beat a good conversation before.

Answer 3

Unless we've lived together for at least a year, I won't propose. I'm not going to pledge my life to someone unless I'm sure I like everything about that person, including her flaws.

I believe that's why divorce is so rampant today, people settle and then end up resenting their spouse for the rest of their lives. If its (the relationship's) not perfect, then why would you sign a lifetime contract with it?

Answer 4

All the other answers are good, even the joking ones. But what I asked myself about the woman I married was "Would I hang out with this gal even if we weren't sleeping together? Would we have been friends or would she just bore the CRAP out of me?"

It was the right question, I guess, because 10 years later we're still a great match.

Answer 5

The point of getting married is to have children and raise a family. Qualities I would look for in a woman are all related to that. Basically, what I want to know is if you would be a good mother to our children. Do you have what it takes to create a good, loving, stable home life for at least the next 20 years. If the answer to that is yes and you are ready to have children now, then that is the woman I would marry.

Answer 6

I guess one of the many reasons I proposed to my wife is because it became abundantly clear that she not only was interested in partnership, but was, in fact, my partner.

What I mean by that is through thick and thin she will simply roll up her sleeves and stand side by side with me to do what needs to be done.

To put it in a Wild West kind of metaphor, if our ranch were being overrun by cattle rustlers she is the type that will re-load for me (or, in fact have me re-load for her... whichever works out better at the time...) rather than cowering in the corner screaming expecting me to save her.

Answer 7

Besides the obvious (attraction, sexual chemistry, understanding one another), I look for someone that I can talk too long after looks go away. Someone that will be there no matter if it's the good times or bad times. Finally someone that can be my partner in money, children, and future.

Turn offs include cheating and not looking to the future.

Answer 8

Nothing would really turn me off, I mean she is a normal girl and all. Anyhows, I picked a woman who had worked 14 years in a bank just so as she was a stable girl. And I picked a girl who was brought up by her father so as she wouldn't be a male-hating feminist....... I refused to marry some dumb-feminist. I'd rather be alone, or just with my pals.

Answer 9

Loyalty

Answer 10

Her character. No one is nice or in a good mood 100% of the time, so you have to go by 'is she generally nice and caring'... is this her character. Also, it's best to go through a down period and back to an up period before getting married. If you can go through a down period and back to an up period with no one doing anything wrong worth breaking up, you've got it made.
You have to be attracted to her also.
