[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=maril332]Why do you all think he sounds so terrible. I am pretty young and I would love to be with him. [/quote]

Because we are married women who understand that the list of features he provided have 5% importance in a marriage.[/quote]

This.  Are you compassionate?  Can you make me laugh?  Will you tell me distracting stories and hold my hand while our child is in surgery?  Can you make a trip to Costco into a hilarious adventure?  Will you encourage me to go back to grad school even if it will mess up our lives, because you want me to be happy and fulfilled?  Can you stand by me through financial uncertainty?  Will you be able to squeeze in your hobbies around kids activities (or even give them up for awhile), because you believe children need you to be there 100% for them?  Will you sit in the car with me before we go into my mother's house, reminding me to breathe deeply and not let her bullshit annoy me?

OP, I'm not saying this is the case with you, but when I was in my 20s, I dated a "sensitive" guy with esoteric hobbies.  He had very little ability to see beyond himself, his interests, and his needs.  After our break-up, I did a lot of soul searching and decided that I deserved to be with a man who was thrilled that he got to be around me and looked out for my needs as closely as I looked out for his.  In my case, this turned out to be a good-natured jock to whom I have now been married for 10 years.  Over time we have grown interested in each other's hobbies, but still have outside interests.  While hobbies and interests are of some importance in a marriage, I am more concerned wtih being with someone who can hold me through a dark night of the soul, then get up and make pancakes for the kids.[/quote]
