What a sweet.....and poetic thing to say @ECBG! 

And @hckynutjohn..........well.......you are just one smart man!

Ambition, intelligence, humor, kindness and good manners (the last one of course informs the others!)

Had to be good looking, someone who I'm attracted to.  That's not being 'dumb and stupid'.  Maybe to you, but not to me.  Physical traits --huge.

Everything else falls into place. 

You don't know if he's gonna be the 'best Pappa in the world' (grandfather) when you're just getting out of high school.

I'm lucky that my husband and I met (our first meeting was very unique) and *clicked*.  For the both of us.

Love is love. 

I couldn't be with a man whom I wasn't physically attracted to--even at this age.  That would come first.

I would advise a young woman looking for a good husband that a man who likes his mother and has a good sense of humor (able to laugh at himself) are important.  

I agree with all the qualities mentioned by the other posters.

Conceptual thinker, empathetic, good sense of humor and nice teeth

First requirement: Be smarter than I am.

Second: Feel at home in spirit, it doesn't matter what religion.

Third: Accept that no family is complete without a pet.

Fourth: Love freely and without reservation.

1.  Keep the house clean.

2.  Fix my meals.

3.  Mow the lawn.

4.  Be nice to my dates when they come to pick me up.

As I was writing this, I realized one would have to marry one's mother or a very unusual man.  Hope springs eternal, no?

I met and married the man of my dreams, I was never in love before I met him. Our relationship has always been 50/50, he's everything I'm not and I'm everything he's not. Of course he has all the desireable qualitites women want, but he's certainly not perfect. I think it goes without saying especially when you are young that you need to be physcially attracted to each other to keep things moving forward. I  believe you have to be very lucky to find someone you have chemistry with and have things happen naturally.

Oops!...My reply came up blank!...I guess I'm an easy woman to satisfy!...LOL

eta:...Seriously, I did type out a reply and, before I even finished it, it took off on its own and I ended up with a blank reply, so I just decided that I must be an "easy broad"...LOL... who just eases into a relationship with a blank canvas and, gradually, the painting starts to evolve!...It is never fully completed, as it always continues to evolve.

Have you ever met someone who you immediately felt easy and comfortable with, as if you have known each other all along...You are just drawn to each other and find that conversation flows easily and you are just able to be yourselves and everything just flows from there...It is as if you are continuing on from where you had left off and, yet,  you never met before...

Have you ever met someone who is so unbelievably charming, attractive and friendly that you find yourself totally caught up in them but, as time goes on, you start to notice what are called "red flags", yet you brush them off because everyone else just finds this person to be so utterly charming, easily likeable and fun to be around, so you think it just must be that you are too sensitive or too "this" or too "that",  and so you just convince yourself that those little "red flags" are totally meaningless...You are just so young and so naive yet, at the same time, unknowlngly, that very important part of you...your inner voice...your instincts...your guardian angel...your higher power (if you believe)...whatever you want to call it...is trying to catch your attention amongst all of the charming, friendly and giddy happenings all around you...

eta:... I came back to add more to my ever-evolving "canvas"...
