1. Habits-caring, sense of humor, respect for others, willing to accept responsibility.\n2. Height-I'm partial to any man over 6 feet. Weight is not really an issue.\n3. Extra ability- to know what I don't know.  That why with the two of us together we know everything.\n4. Looks- Clear skin helps. I lean more towards Hispanic men. Which is weird since it is hard to find any over 5'10".\nOther than that, not much else counts. Remember love is blind.\n5. Job and money go hand in hand.  If you don't have a job, then you won't have money.  Enough to support me and eventually kids, with some to spare.\n6. Religion never came into consideration.\n      U.S. The thing that really got me about my husband was his lips.  When I would talk to him at school, I would think how it would be nice to suck on his bottom lip.

when they are smart enough to understand the consecuences of their actions, mature enough to honor their commitments, kind enough to care about others, responsible enough to make a good living with honesty, sure enough they want to spend their lives together, down to earth enough to know they would have to face problems, in love enough to accept the other person as he/she is, instead of what they want him/her to be.

depends on the individual...no one can be judged whether they are mature/immature based on what gender they prefer...

When I could make decisions based not on what was easy or fun but what was the right thing to do. When I could honestly put others needs ahead of my own , even when it was hard. When I realized wants and needs are two entirely different things. \nMature adult isn't a specific number age , it is something from the inside. Also a mature adult realizes they are fallible and they are not immortal.

energy.\nA healthy, exercising, 60 yr old could be in better overall shape than an overweight, inactive 20 yr old who doesn't eat right, so it is relative...\n\nGenerally as people age the body changes.  Hormones change, things slow down, it is easier to get aches,  the body is less flexible.  stamina gets shorter with longer recuperation time needed.\n\nMentally the 20 yr old brain is not finished growing.  There is less understanding of life  and living.  Generally a 20 yr old male is immature.\n\nA fully grown mature man will have gained wisdom  and understanding (it does take a lifetime though, so the older the better)  Experience teaches so much.  He will more likely be secure in knowing who he is and what is important to him.  He will have empathy and developed the fine art of social skills.  He can be less selfish.\n\nSexually, there are differences.  Neither good nor bad, just different.  Young men often are quicker when having sex  and it can be exciting and fun( and loving) and older men can spend more time and can actually make love in a way more satisfying to a woman.\n\nThere are pluses and minuses at every stage of life so get the most out of every year and fully enjoy the age that you are.  They can all be great!
