Your perfect match

[wondergirl9847]

I'm just wondering, for the sake of argument, because there is no PERFECT match out there really, what do you look for in terms of someone you are interested in?

Do you prefer green, brown or blue eyes?
Do you like blondes, redheads or brunettes?
Are you attracted to men/women shorter or taller than yourself?

OR....do you not have preferences and just go for whoever seems to catch your eye.

I'm in between the two. For the most part, in terms of celebrities, anyways, I like brown haired/blue eyed guys, but there's ALWAYS exceptions. LOL Brad Pitt is a blonde, so....;)

Then again, I'm VERY, EXTREMELY picky, so you really need to stand out and capture my attention. I am not easily pleased, and am usually going "You think HE is good looking?!" a lot. :laugh:

While we're at it...gimme a list of who YOU think is good lookin'. Since that VH1 list was pure crap. LOL Top 5 will do or whatever you wanna do.

1. Lindsey Buckingham (DUR, the man oozes hotness, manliness and sexuality. It's not just the looks, it's the entire package, the stage presence, the fact he KNOWS he's good, but doesn't overtly throw it in your face. He's amazing. He's got ego mixed with humbleness....not as easy task.)

2. Justin Guarini (Dissention and other haters :laugh: , you can keep your comments to yourself. LOL I love this guy. Since the SECOND I laid eyes on him on AI. He's got "IT" and he is so unique. He just announced he has a new manager and record company, also, he's looking around for TV pilots, so....YAY!!)

3. Brad Pitt (Even straight MEN wanna do him, he's THAT hot. LOL I know not EVERYONE likes him, but he's really Greek godlike, because of his jawline and body structure. He really is a great actor and has a humbleness about him too.)

They are really the only 3 men I'm crazy for. There are hot celebs like Matthew McConaghey, but those three listed are just the tops for me.

Yes, someone does have to catch your eye first in order for you to want to pursue them but I would have to say I like guys who are intelligent, cultured and who have a great sense of humor. I tend to be attracted to guys that are taller and dark haired but i'm not opposed to blondes. Lindsey is on the top of my list. Hey, maybe when Kristen gets too old for him... ;)

I base a lot of it on intangibles. Stevie Nicks is not a picture-perfect body, but wow. Whitney Houston is beautiful but lacking any sex appeal. My tastes in the physical run the gamut to include Stevie, Salma Hayek, Gabriela Sabatini, and Ashley Judd. A unique look combined with intelligence, artistry, & talent is great, so I'll take Cate Blanchett over JLo any day. And I know you asked about what catches my eye, but I think that too many people overlook the importance of kindness in the overall equation. A strong moral center is as important as anything that could ever catch my eye.

[GypsySorcerer]

Normally I go for tall and dark, and handsome according to my tastes. But intelligence, humor, and talent go a long way with me. And kindness and consideration are also important.

My all-time celeb crush is Kevin Costner, although he is not dark. And some would argue not intelligent or talented. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I would agree. You could be the most gorgeous man in the world but if you are lacking morals and have no brain in your head....then FORGET it :nod:

[Siri Ruane]

I like Tom Petty. :xoxo:

:eek: :laugh:

Didn't he learn his lesson with "From Justin To Kelly"?!?!?! NO TV!!!!!! :laugh:

As for the question, the ONLY thing I care about is someones sense of humour. That's it.

Someone can be the most beautiful person, but if I can't sit back and tell a nasty, vile, rotten, filthy joke to them, they aren't the kind of person I want to even hang around with. I have to be with someone who can take it and give it back just as much!! :laugh: So, a FANTASTIC sense of humour is a must; they must be able to spout vulgarity and make me laugh!!! :laugh: :laugh:

[DrummerDeanna]

I guess someone can catch my eye and then get me interested..but in the case of my current boyfriend, he didn't catch my eye at all when I met him, I actually thought he was weird and obnoxious, then I got to know him!

He has a great sense of humor, is one of the nicest most genuine and caring people I've even known, he's open-minded and very understanding, he loves music and HATES FOOTBALL...that one is a big criteria for me lol...I do not want a man who only wants to sit around and watch football on Sundays and holidays...so no football fanatics..that is a huge turnoff...anyway I digress, My bf is really artistic and I love that...

So he's got a lot of the qualities that I look for...:D BUT my ideal celebrity guy...David Duchovny haha..I think he's the most gorgeous guy out there :D

[wondergirl9847]

David....not conventionally good looking, but he IS and he's VERY intelligent too. Great choice, Deanna! :thumbsup:

I forgot to say, yeah, sense of humour is #1 with me, as I have a WEIRD, SICK sense of humour. LOL (I just spelled humour TWICE with a u...thanks Fleetwood Mac. :rolleyes: LOL!!)

I think intelligence is a given, but maybe, not necessarily. LMAO!!

My ideal "mate" (stupid word, IMO. LOL) is someone who's into music (obviously, as it means more to me than anything else really) and who likes to travel. I mean, get in a car and go across the USA. ROAD TRIPS!! :) LOL

I need a comlimentary, so someone who is a great motivator would be great in my life. LOL I have ZERO motivation to do....anything. :laugh:

I want a man who knows how to fix things, kill bugs and LOVES football. LOL I mean, I can take care of certain things thanks to a dad who taught me as a kid, and I will kill bugs, but I HATE roaches, they make me sick, and I adore watching football.

Maybe a Ledgie dating service is in order? Marty?

:lol:

I'm kidding.

Tell that to the poor schlubs who went on dates with Anna-Anna-fabulous-Anna-Anna Nicole.

She's so outrageous, you know.

Jake's still bitter about not having been picked so SHHH!!! Don't talk about it...it's a bit of a sore spot for him. :nod: :laugh:

[WelshWitchPMD]

Hmm... My perfect match. Well I really don't know.
I like blue or green eyes. I also seem to like blondes but I don't really see myself with one. I don't know who I see myself with actually.
It really just depends on the person. I guess it's just their presence or energy for lack of a better term. They don't have to have a picture perfect face or body.
I guess they would have to understand that I am a free spirit. I don't like someone up my @$$ all of the time. I think it's because I am an only child that I feel this way. He would also have to understand my love of the Mac and my need to travel to see them. :eek:
Oh well I do hope that I find him soon like this year.:laugh: I am not getting any younger.

[littlelies7]

I would like a guy with a great sense of humor, is intelligent, very talented, and loves dogs.

Also, he has to be loyal, sweet, and thoughtful.

For looks:
I'm for green or blue eyes
Brown or black hair, or blonde
Straight or curly hair
Tall (I don't want to have to suffer the Tom & Nicole height problem... :laugh: )

~~

As for celebrity crushes... I have a crush on Lindsey Buckingham, circa 1982 and only then.

I find this weird for some reason...

Actually, I think he looks the best, IMHO, on the Mirage cover. Just that look on his face... it's so sexy, and I love it! :D

My perfect man:

Hayden Christensen is magically delicious.

Lost on me. Picked for what?:confused: I don't have cable so I've never seen her show, remember? Not to mention I'm bitter about so many things. (All those summers down past your turnpike, for one.)

On her show, she had a group of men that she chose from to go on a date with her. She picked a trucker and they went to the rodeo. At the rodeo, she met one of the cowboys and wanted to go out with him instead. Trust me, you're not missing anything by having not seen her show other than a really good laugh at her expense.

You know, I am going to eventually move out of NJ...then what will you do? You'll have to make fun of whatever state I move to. Oh wait, no, knowing you, you'll say, you can take the girl out of Jersey, but you can't take the Jersey out of the girl. Yep. :nod: :laugh:

I have seen Stephanie Weir impersonate her on MadTV.:laugh:

And I'm not concernned that you take Jersey out of the girl, just be sure to rinse it from the hair.

Stephanie Weir KILLS me with her impression of Anna Nicole... it truly is a great portrayal of how she is on her show :nod:

I would try to rinse Jersey from my hair but I fear my hands would get stuck in the six tons of product ;)

Getting back to the topic, Stephanie & the late Gilda & late Madeline Kahn all have/had the sense of humor to be a great match for me. And Madeline was a particularly pretty lady physically, too. Loved her in Paper Moon.

[laurie816]

Well...my husband is my perfect match....However, ;) ...


I do find guys with brown hair and brown eyes extremely attractive (my husband does have brown hair but has green eyes)


My husband has his little celebrity crushes and I have mine. I scratch my head over his choices however since they are mostly odd choices...Alanis Morrisette (she's so damn angry) and Bette Midler (whom I LOVE but is old enough to be his mom!!) and even Barbra Streisand I believe :confused: (talk about total opposite of the woman he married)

Me on the other hand...I love Mike Richter (I know nobody knows who he is...former NY Rangers goaltender.)...to sum him up in one word OH MY GOD!!

Dave Matthews....So shy, so sweet, so humble...doesn't act at ALL like a celebrity...sensitive...funny...endearing and charming...and very intellegent believe it or not.

The only actor I think is attractive is Brendan Fraser...he's so gorgeous and sweet..

And they all have brown hair and brown eyes....(so did an old flame of mine that haunts me to this day, but that's another story for another time:p )

Still and all...me and hubby are happy and understand each other and our weird 'crushes' and that's all that counts:)

[DeeGeMe]

Oh Jake--Madeline Khan was taken away too soon, wasn't she? And Gilda too. So Sad.

Okay, now to the sex part--my objects of desire in real life tend to be blonde, fair, and with blue or green eyes. The last great love of my life (okay, there have only been 2) was the double jeopardy jackpot--he had one blue eye and one green eye! I like them smart and funny. I could never date anyone with a great sense of humor and smarts. They also have to like dogs. Very important! The funny thing is that Joe (LOML #2) was a dead ringer for LOML #1-Luke. When I was first introducing Joe to my friends and family they all would pull me aside and say, "Do you realize how much he looks like Luke?" Uh--well, now that you mention it. . . . . . damn, I'm like one of these shallow guys who dates a succession of blonde, model-types.

Now on to my celeb heartthrob list:


1) Keifer Sutherland . Hmmm. Yummy.

2) George Clooney . Modern-day Cary Grant , and I'm a complete sucker for anyone remotely close to Cary Grant (too many B&W movies as a kid).

3) Old-School: Harrison Ford --I first fell in love with Harrison Ford when I went to see Star Wars in 1976. I was 12. All my little friends were in love with Mark Hamil. Not me. It was Harrison Ford for me and was for a very long, long time. He's really showing his age now, but back in the day---damn--he was fine. Makes my heart skip a beat just thinking about him.

4) Really Old School: Sean Connery : No man finer or sexier on the planet. Possibly Ever. And he is still fine even though he's old enough to be my grandfather!

5) Russell Crowe: I just have this wild desire to take him home and clean him up. Like the whole rough around the edges thing.

Being a southern woman, I think I have a case of the vapors now. Too much contemplation on sexy men for me this morning!

[Janet]

Men!

My perfect man is Lindsey Buckingham. I will say that because he is the only man I can just listen to on the radio and I am 100% turned on. He doesn't have to be anywhere near me, just his VOICE.

And at the concert I spent the entire time sweating and trying to calm my heart down because he just does something for me. I mean this. He is my #1 crush LOL! ( I hope I'm not scaring anyone!!) LOL

Second...I'm not even sure. I find David Duchovny really hot. I find Harrison Ford hot. I find Bono hot. I find that guy Jake from Melrose Place hot. I find Greg Wise hot. I find Colin Firth hot. I find Robert Patrick hot. Those are my top men right now I think.

[ERigby818]

I'm a sucker for: A sexy voice, wacky sense of humor, a love for cats (I just think it's SO hot when a guy appreciates cats!), a love for music (especially if it's the same kind I like), a mischevious smile, an ability to dance and/or sing/play an instrument, and broad shoulders (especially when they're toned and have sexy toned arms attached to them) ;).

Stuff that really matters:
Morals/values-must be similar to mine to be a good match
Hygiene/cleanliness- I can't stand a slob!
Health- Doesn't have to work out every day but I can't stand a couch potato, and I won't date someone who has really unhealthy eating habits or just doesn't care what he eats.
Taste- I have to be able to appreciate his taste in stuff, and vice-versa
Interest in me- I'm Not interested in someone who's not absolutely ga-ga for me and not ashamed to show it...If he gives me the cold shoulder (and I don't deserve it), that's a huge turnoff.
Education- Don't care what college he went to just as long as he went to one and got a degree in something.
Height- OK this is totally sueprficial, but I can't help it- I just only seem to be attracted to tall guys (5'10" and up!)


Stuff that really doesn't matter:
Hair/Eye color
Skin color/Ethnicity
Money (as long as he can support himself)
Penis size (as long as it's functional)
Dress style (as long as he can pull it off with class!)
Car type
Hair style (as long as he's got some and it's clean)
Facial hair style
Weight (as long as he's healthy)
Job (as long as he makes an honest living)

Geez, does that sound like a personal ad or what? :laugh:

Well said...Appearence is important at first, but it's the heart and mind that makes a person truly attractive. I've dated the typical beauty queens who are absolutely stunning, physically, but good luck trying to have an interesting discussion with them!

The key to long term happiness is finding the complete package!!:)

Yeah, I'd have to say that Lindsey Buckingham embodies every physical trait I find attractive in a man, albeit when he was younger, I mean he's still attractive for his age, but when he was in his early twenties and thirties....omg, watch out.

However, besides being an incredible musical talent, I don't know about his non physical attributes. I mean, I don't think I could last two seconds around him. He seems selfish, whiney, and a bit arrogant at times. And I wonder how "kind" he really is, well, supposedly he's mellowed with age, (and children) but in the past he came across as a major ass (no rhyme intended)! Don't get me wrong, I love Lindsey, but to tell you the truth, I don't know how Stevie put up with him as long as she did! Anyway, this post is going off on a tangent, so let me just conclude with my opinion that Lindsey has (or had) it all physically, but emotionally no way. Until recently, he has always been a basket case of emotions.
