The Beauty of a Man - What Makes You Love Him?

The Beauty of a Man - What Makes You Love Him?

With Valentine's Day just a few weeks away, I have a new Romance series coming up soon with new tips to share, as many women will be giving the men they love something special that says "I love you".

Given your current relationship status, married or single, what Would be (and / or) What Are the qualities that make a man lovable?

What makes him worth being your Valentine, all the time? Not just once a year on February 14.

Because I'm currently single, these would be mine:

Physically:

* His eyes... (Eyes tell me about his spirit; his character; if he's tender).

* His smile (He has to have a nice smile and CLEAN teeth)

* Full Lips (not overly full, but full) Soft and kissable lips

* Tall (with long legs)

* Cuddlely Bear - not sloppy 'fat', but well stocked, solid, but not all gym/iron pumped muscle...I do not like mass produced muscle men who show off their six pack abs.... Men at the gym look phoney; not real men. Their brains are vain and they're too focused in their muscles and how they look. I see this everyday and it's just plain... Yuck! :lol:

* Strong long supportive arms...

* Strong hands with a tender touch

* Deep Brown Complexion - Dark Chocolate :spinning: :yep:

(I think it's because my first love is actor Mr. Sidney Poiter and I've always loved the color of Mr. Sidney's skin...deep, beautiful and dark brown... Hershey's Kiss Brown). :D

There are other more important attractions:

* He has a heart and a love for God...

* He loves himself

* He prays for me and about me

* He gives his best. I don't expect perfection, just his best

* He shares himself with me; allows me to "learn" him and what makes him happy. It's not all about me, but 'we.' Giving him joy is key.

* He's faithful to his promises (he's not a playa') ;)

* He loves children (Children are life and our posterity; it matters how a man views the importance of a child's purpose and what he contributes to a child's life for positive development.

Romantic Attractions / Considerations:

* He's not married or involved with someone else romantically.

* We communicate...no matter what it is, we just communicate and just be ourselves. Be real. No games.

* The way he looks at me with his heart; for this will show through his beautiful eyes.

* He pays attention to me. He calls at anytime of the day or night just to say...Hey, you may be 'there', but you're here in my heart and on in my thoughts...

Fun Things:

* He loves :love: to smell my hair (I freshly washed just for him) :yep:

* Walking or just being active and fun

* Eating ice cream; making cupcakes; Starbucks and Walmart :lol:

* Cooking together

* Being playful and best friends...

* He loves music and dancing (or he's okay that I am a Dancer) and I will dance just for him. :grin:

Something Key:

* He takes the time to learn and call me by my real name. My dad named me from his Native American heritage and it has a special meaning; but a little challenging for most people to pronounce. I've been abbreviated all my life. I could not help but love the man who learns my birth name and chooses not to "abbreviate me."

So that's just part :lol: of my list of a lovable man.... Of course I have more.... :yep: A lot more.

Married or Single, what are or would be yours? ;)

Happy Love to Everyone...

He loves me like Jesus loved the church. I can see it and feel it in every breath he takes. He makes me feel like a queen every day. He puts his family (wife and kids) first (not before God but b4 everything else). I admire a man that can be faithful. Hard to find, but such a blessing when u do! :)

This is beautifully shared Shalilac. :yep: AND He's not so hard to find...he's simply been out looking for beautiful 'you.' ;).

If he's not with you now, then I pray that very soon he will be...and forever the two of you are 'one' and it can never be 'undone.' In Jesus' name, Amen.

Shalilac: No wonder your post was so beautiful. It came from a 'living' heart. You 'live' every word of it and more. I love your picture. You and your husband are a very beautiful couple. God bless you 'as one' forever and ever... Amen. ;)

There was a really great article in Essence magazine (December 2006) that a Black man wrote about why he is faithful to his wife. He definitely had Christ as the center of his life, and you could really tell. That's the beauty of a man.

Since I don't subscribe to the magazine, I can't remember the title of the article, but I will look for it tomorrow and try to post it on here. It was a beautiful article!

I guess for me since I am single and believe that God will send me a man who is exceedingly, abundantly above all that I can ask or think according to the power that worketh in me (and that's alot!) according to Ephesians 3:20...

I would like a man who is/has:

~Godfearing and loves Jesus so much more than he loves me (but I'm next:))
~who know his role as provide (financially too), protector, leader, and head of the household
~ a sensitive and discerning spirit even towards me. He can sense when I'm upset or something's not right
~A man that wants us as husband and wife to pray together
~A pure gentleman...holds doors, pulls out chairs, stands up when a lady enters the room (I'm old fashioned), helps me in the car, down stairs...like somebody else said warms the car up for them:)
~Generous and giving
~Treats me like I'm the most precious possession to him
~Confident
~Affectionate
~Gentle

Physically:
~Tall....I know I'm tiny but I like tall men
~Athletic bodytype
~As me and my friends say "peanut butter color":lol:
~Straight pearly whites
~Smells good
~Clean cut

Oh but there's sooo much more. That's just a little glimpse :). And just think, if that's what I'm asking for and God says He is going to do exceeding, and abundatly above that then I only want the man He has for me...I wont be missing this blessing;).

Bumping this too.....

Thank you, China Doll :kiss: I'm hoping that all will be blessed by my Romance threads. My prayer is all of you will be happily married in our forum.

Ummmmmmmm, I have another scripture... :yep:

By this I know, that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me. (Psalm 41:11)

I love this one...

When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me. (Psalm 56:9)
____________________

The enemy of hopelessness, despair, doubt, worry, fear that marriage will never be. Well, this enemy shall not triumph over thee... Amen.

Praise God...How we love Jesus. :heart2: :yep:

He makes my happiness his main focus.

He is a very caring father to our daughter.

He tells me sweet 'things' like 'when I look into your eyes, my heart melts with :love:' :kiss2:

He can coooooooookk:lick:

He loves for us to pray together.

He is not afraid to show me his tears:yep:

He is a go getter and excels at what he puts his mind to- work/school.

He is very hard working and plans ahead of time for any and everything.

He loves to hang out with me.........
