- Ok, 81 is right about the job part, considering what the real world is like... so I stand corrected. But I don't agree with the idea of intelligence as the only criteria. I mean, what if someone is intelligent but mean?
After thinking more about it, I decided to scratch the sense of humor part, as this trait may be trainable, I hope. Also scratch the mature part--I keep forgetting that men are all big babies anyway, regardless of age, and that can be charming, too, sometimes. But I disagree with WOA about marriage=maturity. Marriage doesn't necessarily make a guy mature, does it.
So here is the revised short version: intelligence+compassion. The new bar is not that high after all :)
