[quote=Anonymous]Met in grad school.  He is Midwestern, and that is the way to go.  Midwestern men are generally sweet, calm, responsible, polite, and family-oriented.  I recommend!

The other thing I did was, starting at 25, started being very up-front that I wanted to have kids in my early 30s.  Lots of men ran for the hills, and those who remained were of higher quality.  I was very disciplined about not wasting time dating people who were incompatible with me, treated me badly, or didn't want a family.

Other key factors:
Says he wants kids and is happy to discuss the topic.
Is conscientious and responsible, yet easygoing and flexible.
Doesn't need much sleep-- this is key!
Not a slacker professionally, but not trying to become a Cabinet secretary or anything.
Basic cooking and home maintenance skills.  Able to manage the basics of life with plenty of time left over.
Enjoys nieces and nephews, and takes family responsibilities seriously.  Eg, calls home regularly, visits old people in the nursing home, that kind of thing. [/quote]
