Nancy thought it might be fascinating reading for the ladies to hear what and older, mature man finds attractive in a woman. As a man, I can sincerely tell you from my POV, what characteristics I admire in a woman; the very things that make her stand out from all of the rest. Here goes!
Frank Briscoe, www.oldguyonabicycle.comThere are basic things I look for in everyone, including me; and, that is to treat everyone with kindness, consideration and compassion. We all have troubles in our lives. We need to remember that when it appears someone is having a “troubled” day. I notice and appreciate people who do. In addition, I admire anyone who are not afraid to explore and pursue their dreams even in the face of possible defeat. I try to surround myself with friends who possess these qualities. We, both women and men, are a tremendous source of support and inspiration for each others.
Not every woman on the planet is blessed with “Barbie Doll” looks and figure just as all men do not look like “Ken”. Thank goodness for that otherwise the likes of me wouldn’t stand a chance at first glance. Way beyond that dream girl look, I enjoy seeing a woman who is appropriately dressed, well groomed and carries herself with confidence and a smile. I appreciate a woman who respects her body enough to take care of it. I don’t expect that movie star, team of stylists look but notice the basic, at-home grooming. These attributes tell me a woman cares about herself and what she projects.
I cherish the power of family (i.e., the biological kind as well a family of friends), and believe in the energy of laughter and the fun it brings. Surely, there comes family heartache for any number of assorted reasons but that’s where the kindness, consideration and compassion help. I hold any woman in the highest regard that has the strength to keep family together.
Specific physical attributes? For me, as long as a woman possesses the above, I could very well miss out on someone very special if I excluded them because of a particular physical attribute.
I suppose you’re wondering if I can sum up all of this in a few words. I can! To me, there is nothing more stunning than a smart, confident, well groomed woman who is not afraid to laugh with others and especially at herself. I respect a woman who does not compare herself to others, values family and is happy to be the wonderful, unique person she is. Since it’s a struggle for me, I salute any woman who takes measures to live a long and healthy life.
There you have it from “The Old Guy”! You go, Girls!
