    O pen, says me

    For you, PBA.A serious post (we'll see how long that lasts).
    "Girls often don't know what to look for in guys because they don't understand being a guy. But we know who the good guys are, and we know what characteristics they have." So from a guys perspective, what should a girl be looking for if she wants a good guy?

    Incorrigible; semi-retarded; eccentric; perhaps a man; somewhere between mean and average; sometimes only a bit over the top; arbitrarily cynical.

    Someone who is not a control freak.

    Tell us what questions to ask about him, to determine that.

    Just ask if he's a control freak. :P

    Ask how he reacts when things don't go his way. Ask if he is a patient person.

    Someone who is seriously looking to get married, and not someone just looking to have fun on dates, but no intention of actually settling down.

    It really depends on the girl.... but in my opinion she should look at his middos, the way he treats others etc. the way he acts, and who his friends are, what type are they,

    Saysme:

    You'll need to ask us more specific questions. What kind of guy are you looking for?

    I agree with mewho. If you find someone who is pleasant to be with, then all the other things should fall into place in a compatible way.

    BTGuy, my exhusband was not only PLEASANT TO BE WITH, but he was genuinely intelligent, funny and likeable! And abusive.

    He is genuinely sick in the head, and there is really no explanation how he hid it so well.

    I feel scared about people trying to judge others' charachters in shidduchim. I feel we all go in blindfolded. To some degree.

    Marriage is a risk like any other aspects in life.. Even in the nonjewish world they really don't know what they are getting into until they get into a serious relationship..

    You can't be afraid, because that is life. Your job is to do your hishtadlut and leave the rest up to hakodesh baruch hu... He Knws what's best for us and at the end of the day what is instore for us....
    If we do our part he'll take care of the rest...
    Arwsf: don't say it's easy for me to say, cause it most definitely is NOT!
