1) Intelligent(Didn't find that in your list, very important because it supersedes everything and a key to everything)

2) Hardworking (encompasses financial independence, a goal getter, well connected because anyone who is hardworking would have all these in mind or aspires to get them so they are all interwoven and interrelated like a maze. Infact a man who acknowledges that you encouraged his hard work would be generous too)

3) Physical look (this is obviously related to being neat as well,your man should be at least presentable. Its the way he is dressed that he would be addressed)

4) Patience (Related to good listener and adviser. You need to be attentive and composed to listen to your partner. Related to respectful as well)

5) Practicing believer not like a staunch christian but must have the fear of God. I am not a fan of spiritual fanatics). Once there is fear of God, every other blessing follows or all the other factors you listed would be added unto thee. If you can't get everything in a man, focus on getting the most important or key things that would shape, mold or establish the rest for you.

You people really need to stop fantasizing over your lists. Most people will eventually settle for less than 50% of what they have on their list so what is the point in wasting your time compiling lists?

^^^ Hehehe, I love a realist. Life is easier when you lower your standards and take what life throws at you. If you like it, then fine. If not, then move on until the next best thing happens (if it chooses to happen that is).

True that is why I said you pick the key factors and others would follow. For example, a hardworking man obviously means he has prospects and if he does not make it now, in the course of the marriage he would get there or the couple would make it together. No matter how you choose not to be choosy or decide to be realistic, you still need to set standards for yourself if not everyone would have been married to anything that craws. Your happiness is paramount though, be with who makes you happy and gives you peace of mind.

Let them be fantasizing, especially the ladies.

Just when they think they have found "him", the next thing dem go hear be say e don give anoda woman belle outside. Na one such matter my friend sister just dey face now. Na so dem go ignore good people in the name of list. Make una go china go order doll baby.

All those compiling their list, how many of una meet those criteria?

I didn't make a list. I just prayed to God and so far (eleven years on) am happy with who he provided.

At the end of the day, you would find mr/mrs right, yet they aint good enough there is still some lil flavor of *BAD* that you want in them. Dont worry, your lists can reach heaven but when ur "OJU KOKORO" still dey, why not include *gud bedmatics* in ur list, they may call u all sorts but if it is what u want (wch u definitely need), then ur d realist not those that form and yet sneak to get it.
My advice: stop making a list and start enjoyin every moment as it coms.

ur explanation of hard working is false.
barrow pushers are the highest hard workers but they are nt financially independent. There are also not well connected and most will not be in their life time. So u have to seperate them.
