Check, Please: The Perfect Man
We’ve talked about lists before. To do lists, shopping lists, celebrity exemption lists…and now we’re adding the perfect man checklist to…our list!
Inspired by the perfect man-ism exalted by the Old Spice Man (jokes aside, that man is damn fine) and some other good fellows (hello, Leo and Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Inception), we took to the office and compiled a list of the qualities that top our Staffers’ lists.
Needless to say with a lot of cooks in the kitchen the list was quite long—so here are the top 20 traits!
Since perfect is pretty much, um, not possible, we’d say if you could find a guy with 5-10, you’re golden (bonus points on those physical traits!).
Drumroll, please…
1. A sense of humor
2. Honest
3. A gentlemen
4. A strong ambition to succeed
5. Sensitive (but not too sensitive)
6. Loyal
7. A good listener
8. Loves dogs and kids
9. Not too needy
10. Steady source of income
11. Independent
12. Kind
13. Witty
14. Smart
15. Socially aware
16. Driven, but not aggressively so
17. Family oriented
18. Passionate
19. A heart of gold
20. Adventurous
Bonus Five Physical Traits:
1. Tall
2. Perfect teeth
3. Dimples
4. Abs of steel
5. Looks (damn) good in a suit!
GIRL TALK TIME: What qualities are on the list for your perfect man? Which ones are most important to you? Have you ever turned down a guy because he didn’t fit all of your criteria?

… those all sound good to me! =o)
I can honestly say that my man had 90% of the traits on this list. I am lucky!
In general, there is no such thing is perfect, but everyone has their own definition of perfect. Having a sense of humor is a must. Can’t take someone who is always serious.
The models body is….ummmm ummmm ummmm… now what’s the article about…lol
The guy model is super hott
I could barely take my eyes off the hott model to read the traits!!
Good List but I needed Spirituality added !!! a family that prays together stays together
Agree with most but good looking is in the top 10, maybe #2. Just keepin’ it real.
Great list. I however do not think that there is a perfect man. Don’t get me wrong there are alot of great guys out there but in my eyes no one is ever perfect not even myself. There will always be some sort of flaw in everyone.
Great list.
A man that thinks with his heart, A man that loves his mother,
A man that is intelligent, and a man that is patient
agreed with all of them but they forgot to put on one – the guy has to be manly/tough.
Great list with almost everything i want in a man!!!! yay
that list exists in real guys, but theyve always been in guys im never attracted to lol
must have blue eyes and dark hair
meooww
This list just about covers it! It’s a perfect compilation of all the things that one should look for in a man (a MAN, not a little BOY!). I would add the trait that he loves God, but that’s just my personal addition!
A man that LOVES and FEARS GOD, one who prays often, one who can cook (for the days I don’t want too), and one that is fun, outgoing, and someone that can be a strong role model for my children.
I agree!
You’ve got it pegged with that list! Definitely Honest, Loyal, Sense of Humor, Kind, Adventurous… Tall… the physique department is a nice touch
wow, great list! but those this man really exist? and if so, i bet he’s already taken! lol
