Since being in a committed relationship for 8 years, now i am getting divorced and realise what a mistake i have made, I have now found that i know exactly what i want in a man, and have also realised that i dont think im going to find him on planet earth, lol... is there any hope? are there any nice genuine steve irwin types out there??? I now know what kind of man i want, but unfortunatly the qualitys i desire seem to be only possessed by women ( which i dont desire) :) except for the strong masculine side :)... any hope or possibilitys anyone???

I found my Mr RIght just down the road and round the corner... but I didnt find him till I stopped looking...
the things that brought him to my attention were his deep gravelly voice, his quiet self and his wonderful belly laugh.... the thing that held my attention was his genuineness....
To find the right man for you will happen by accident somewhere along the way... if you are looking for a man who is interested in the environment then join some environmental groups ...not that you will be guaranteed to find one there...
Go for men you get along well with... ones you can talk to and relate to well... dont fall into the habit of carrying around a check list in your mind of what the ideal man should be...
I too wanted a man who cared about the environment, one who was genuine, and meant what he said..., but the man I have now was not obviously interested in the environment nor was he obviously gentle.... these were things I discovered about him once we began seeing each other... he doesn't wear his heart on his sleeve so none of these important things about him were obvious from meeting him.. and he is not prone to soapbox his hobby horses.... and he had a rifle (complete with appropriate licenses etc) I had been shooting when I was younger so was not bothered by the presence of rifle in his life but was concerned about exactly what is he hunts...it was months down the track before I discovered he hunts targets, he will walk for miles with his rifle across all kinds of terrain and sit and watch animals pass him by... I once asked him why he didnt shoot the deer wandering along the gully on his parents property... he just smiled and said.. ahhh too much hard work in that... I prefer to just watch them.... then later he set up a target in the paddock and shot the target... the only animals he has killed were cattle that needed destroying on the property we now live on....
He has been a farmer himself and is very conservationist about farming, he has learned so much about how to work the land so you dont destroy it and we have had some long conversations into the night about how things could be better on the land..
He is strong and quiet and thinks very deeply about any topic before talking so he is not quick to strike up a conversation but when he does he is a brilliant conversationist...
basically the answer to your questions is yes there are men who are genuine and who care about the environment... there are even single ones.... but mostly they are busy being themselves and doing what interests them... and you will find them quite by accident..

Well, you could take out some of the qualities you're looking for a man if they're unimportant. Keep in mind that if you keep all these high standards in mind, then you will always have to settle for second best. Just know that lowering your standards doesn't mean that you'll find less of a good man. Get to know someone, people can change with the better you know them. You could know his faults and not mind them, and then you can be happy.
Good luck.

You let life happen and he will eventually come along. Sometimes they aren't exactly what you want, but you fall in love anyways because of who they are on the inside. Being too picky means you may never give your Mr. Right a chance because you want someone too Steve Irwin-esque. I know you made a mistake in the past, but you never know what will happen if you give it a chance.

There is a problem in this whole concept. They guy is on trial, he has to demonstrate worthiness which means you will be forever judging. No man will measure up as they are all humans. Ultimately you will need to make a choice.. Do you accept a person with their warts or won't you. It is a choice not a matter of finding the perfect candidate.

You need to be picky, because someone else just wouldn't make you happy. Everyone has flaws though. So when you do find that guy with just about everything, there will still be something he does, says, or doesn't say that will bother you. It's just the fact of whether you can live with it or not. You will find somebody though, with everything that your heart desires. Good luck to ya.

You need to be open minded. I used to go for good looking types who allways ended up cheating! I have been with guy now for 6 years and he is not my usual type but I fell head over heels with him. We were friends and then became a couple. I find if I am not looking for a man then one will come along when you least expect it

You HAVE to be picky and fussy, or else you'll settle for less than what you want. Trust me, there's plenty of people out there that will fit your description, but you just haven't found them yet.
Good luck and may God bless!

In order to find Mr right you need to be yourself. Mr Wright will love you and be attracted by what you really are.
