Peaceful Feminist: I have to disagree, I like a man who is dominate and they can be caring, loving, supportive, ect however abusers are usuaslly weak and want to make their girlfriend or wife weak too.

Look for a man with a dream. A real desire to do well and to spread his wealth and teach others. Also make sure you find a man that pushes you to do better. Not hurting you but expecting more out of you then most other people, in the way of grades or work or whatever you do.

As a rule, my first date with a man is skydiving. It's usually my date's first jump. It's scary the first time. By watching how he handles himself in such a stressful, challenging experience, I can pretty much learn everything I need to know about a person, such as how well he copes, how rich his sense of humor is, how much gusto and spirit for adventure he has, how gentle he is with himself when he gets scared. Everyone gets scared and fragile that first jump. Some men assume a pathological false bravado, or that gorilla stuff, or simply freak out and get angry at the world in the middle of the stress. Those are the behaviors that suggest to me the possibility for emotional weakness and violence in other situations when he is in more control. This is not meant as a test. Skydiving is my sport. I don't have time for dating men who aren't interested in jumping with me frequently. And, with skydiving, there are always lots of other men around. The BEST way to assess a man is to observe him engaging with other men. Mountain climbing is the same way. You can learn a lot about a man about what he notices and appreciates on a walk-up hike. If he throws rocks at the wildlife, for example, he's probably the kind of man who would slap a child or find pleasure in hurting a woman, too.

If I'm looking for long-term compatibility, I look for a man who's not intimidated by a woman who thinks of herself as his equal. I will not tolerate a controlling, dominating, obsessive, jealous or possessive man. (Been there, done that- NEVER AGAIN.) I want a man who treats me with respect. I look for someone who is kind to not only me, but everyone else. Someone who is open-minded and intelligent. Someone who has a great capacity for empathy and love. Someone who is not egotistical or judgmental, or self-righteous. I like a man who is spiritual but not religious. I like men who are more liberal, less conservative. I like men who are sexually imaginative, creative, and responsive. Someone who gives as much as he expects to receive. I want a man who is secure in his own masculinity and who does not feel the need to put others down in order to feel good about himself. I want a man who can express what he feels. Someone I can talk with. Someone who is compatible with me in the areas of life I think are most important. To find a man who could be truly my best friend as well as my lover would be ideal. Honesty and loyalty are traits that are a must.

Does anyone know where I can find a man like this?

1. A GOOD man will never try to tell you he LOVES you sooooo much he doesn't' want to share you. ( control who you see and your time) Tell you he is Jealous of the way you look, act or the things you do.
2. A GOOD man will encourage you to make your dreams come true.
3. A GOOD man has a good job, or does well in school
4. A GOOD man has allot of friends

Independence on all points, and further takes comfort and not oppostition to your independence.


btw IMO dominant personality traits are abusive traits

Like I said, IMO (in my opinion) to each their own, good luck with that.
