On:

  • Sense of humour, duh. The most important thing, always. Even better if he likes dirty and/or absurd humour.
  • Being comfortable in his skin and style. I love a man who doesn’t need my opinion or advice to dress nice. Standing out in a crowd is a plus.
  • Intelligence. I hate teaching but love learning, so preferably someone smarter than me.
  • Reliability and honesty.
  • Kindness and patience.
  • Scruff and tattoos.
  • Smiling and laughing a lot.
  • Kissing me, a lot, everywhere.
  • Being handy, making and fixing stuff.

Off:

  • Prejudice towards any group of people.
  • Partying and being drunk half the time.
  • Unwillingness to explore things and places.
  • Shyness. Not that there’s anything wrong with shy people, but I can’t hit on a shy boy, I just can’t. Maybe I’m not outgoing enough.
  • Also, coming on too strong, not taking no for an answer, not respecting my boundaries…
  • Bad personal hygiene or fashion sense. Not taking care of himself.
  • Sucking at listening. I like men who talk a lot, but they should know when to shut up and listen too.
  • Collared shirts, big jewellery, a car that’s more expensive than his home, not owning books, facial piercings, smoking, touching my face, always eating crappy ready-made food or take-out and other assorted annoyances.
