The two top of the list traits that my DH has is his friendship to both me and others and his heart. If he were to get hit by lightning tomorow and i was huntin me a new DH i would settle for no less. He has set the bar.

For me, I would want a girl who is:

Opinionated, but open minded.
Intelligent - I honestly can't stand idiocy
Kind
Honest
Selfless
Easy to talk with

Basically,all those good things

Finally, if she's a metal head, I hit the jackpot! (Preferably REAL metal, not this pop-rock-metal crap).

1. She needs to be okay with the fact that I am smarter then her dad
2. She needs to be smart enough to be a conspiracy theorist
3. Looks like Jessica Biel
4. Perfers music over other forms of electronic entertainment
5. FantASStic butt
6. A Great laugh for my great sense of humor
7. Not a member of a Church
8. Nice
9. Honest
10. Loyal
