A guide to picking a man who will stay with you through thick and thin.

If you truly want to find the “man of your dreams,” look for these 10 personality traits:

  1. Watch how he is around his mother.  If he doesn’t respect her, he’s not likely to respect you.
  2. Watch how he spends his money.  Does he hold on to it like Scrooge or spend it all on himself?  Or does he spend it responsibly and share with others?
  3. Watch how he looks at other women.  If he’s not going to stop ogling them when you’re dating, he’s not going to stop when you’re married.
  4. Watch how he is with his friends.  If he pulls you into things, he values who you are.  If he leaves you on the fringe, he might not truly value you at all.
  5. Watch how he is at his job.  If he is proud of his work, you know he’s got a good heart.  If he just does enough to get by, he may not have the highest of standards for himself.
  6. Watch how he is around alcohol.  You don’t want to be with a man who lets himself lose control.
  7. Watch how he is when he’s angry.  If he can keep his temper in check, you’ve got a good thing going.
  8. Watch what he does in his spare time.  That’s what he’ll be doing with you for the next 50 years.
  9. Watch how strongly he holds to his commitments.  If he can’t do that, what makes you think he’d keep his commitment to you?
  10. Watch how he acts when he thinks no one’s looking.  That is the man that you will get for the rest of your life.

And when you find the perfect man, don’t pretend to be someone you’re not.  Be yourself.  That is who you will be for the rest of your life, so start right now around him.  Once he’s yours, treat him well.  Don’t do anything to let this one go.
