I think each woman should have a main concept of what they want their man to be like. Things that are non-negotiable for me were:

1. Had to be of the same worldview as I.

2. Had to be of average height. Less than 6 ft but taller than 5'6. So my husband's about 5'8 and I'm almost 5'2.

3. He had to be able to make me laugh.

4. He had to have a career and be hardworking.

In other words as Steven Harvey says: "Profess, Provide and Protect" [are the 3 concepts that every man should be able to do otherwise he's not a man].

And yes my husband is all those things and more, sometimes good and sometimes not. No one is perfect and neither am I.

Women just need to be reasonable. For me this is a reasonable list. And there were plenty of men who could've met my requirements easily even now there are some who can.

Still your article is interesting. Maybe for those of you still on the market, you could reconsider these words and be more realistic.
