I think a man with all of those traits will very rarely be single. It does happen, though.
Rarely being single has nothing to do with being happy in a relationship. Money can't buy love; it can only rent affection.

Reliability. He should say what he means, and mean what he says. I don't want to have to babysit him to keep our lives in order. I'd like to be able to follow his lead at least some of the time. I want to know clearly where I stand with him, and what I can expect from him.

Familial orientation. My family comes first. So should his, if he ever wants me to join it.

I think these are the two big requirements.

Being honest and realistic. I’m done going with a dreamer. I don’t need a dreamer who is trying to follow their dreams. I want a person who is realistic and fully understands that makingnit as an artist probably isn’t going to happen. Have it as a hobby but get a job.

All our male LPG’s friends can comment also.
This is really a question women should answer, but in my experience these things are important for anyone to bring to a relationship:

1) Honesty
2) Self assurance and humility
3) Good communication
4) Physically and mentally attractive, as well as physically and mentally active
5) Easy going and fun loving

I think this blurb from an old online dating profile kinda sums it up for me:

What am I looking for? You should be: well-rounded; educated (either in the traditional sense or maybe just the school of life); hard-working; healthy- physically, spiritually and emotionally; considerate; and flexible. On the superficial side, I'm a sucker for a kind eyes, a nice smile and strong hands. Those who are 6'3" or taller get to jump to the front of the line because I can still wear my tallest big-girl shoes. Not that tall but can embrace my penchant for impractical footwear? I can work with that, too! I'm most attracted to those who have passion for something and a curious spirit. No smokers or couch potatoes, please.

Trust/fidelity - Without this its never gonna work out. Person is gonna doubt everything & start to become paranoid.

Being content - Financially/physically/emotionally, things are going to be up & down in life.

Finance - Big deal breaker for some people, need to have someone who is good with their finances and doesnt spend their entire paycheck on stuff they dont need.

Temperament + personality - how well they handle things that come up, i worked in retail when i was younger like a lot of other people and you just see people who act like complete assholes over small shit.

Where you live - I honestly put this up there because some people get bored if things are too quiet. I personally like to be on the outskirts of a city. I can get in and out but also have some peace & quiet. Lived in small towns and hated driving 10+ minutes just to get onto the nearest highway. Having activities available to do is also a big thing as you can join a group or find people more easily who share your interests if you live in an area with a larger population.

It's hard to list off 5 things that "a woman" wants because every woman is different. Even if the replies were limited to only female responses, you'd get 5 things that Fade wants or 5 things that Swoon wants or whatever, but there's no generic answer. Even things like intimacy which are important to many I'm sure there's at least a handful of women out there who want a very business partner like relationship and intimacy isn't really important.

Maybe change it to something like "5 things you want in a partner"?

To all the young dudes that may be reading this thread, a large percentage of women are completely clueless as to what they are actually looking for in a man, especially with most of the women that regularly troll on this forum. There is a reason why there are so many dysfunctional young women who are single mothers raising bastard children with no father in the picture at all.

Women that are raised in normal and functional households seek out men who help to create stability in a relationship, family, household, etc. Women that are raised in dysfunctional and chaotic environments are far more likely to be in relationships that are filled with drama, are chaotic and unstable.

Normal people look for the following in a relationship, this includes both men and women.

- Someone you are physically attracted to
- Is financially stable or on a track to be (college, trade school, eIstc.)
- No drugs
- No smoking
- No drinking beyond a social level or not at all
- Has his or her own social life
- Has his or her own hobbies that don't involve you
- Has no mental health or behavior issues
- No criminal history
- Otherwise normal and functional individual that doesn't exist on the fringe of society

Outside of these basic parameters, you start getting into more detailed variables regarding personal compatibility, but those don't become apparent until after spending a considerable length of time with that individual.
