    What impresses me in women is much the same that impresses me in men- honesty, integrity, maturity, intelligence, independence, common sense, open mind. What really, seriously, makes me roll my eyes in disgust/distaste/dismissal, in women, is (apart from the opposite of the aforementioned) caring about frivolous things like shoes, makeup, soaps, celebrities and other "girly" things. If a woman is tasteful about these things, that's fine, and I do notice a snappy dresser, but if there isn't anything beneath this surface she's not my type.

    couldn't agree more....holding out for someone with a genuine interest in my life...any day now:P

    Yeah! It's an amazing feeling when someone remembers something really trivial that you've told them. God, I love that!!

    So basically I need a guy with good manners and a good memory!

    Good manners are very attractive. I like a man with good table manners and grammar skillzz especially! Not sure why, maybe because I've been brought up to value those things.

    i'm just wondering if we equate good manners with lack of bad language?

    i was raised to have good manners, which i think i do, but i do have a fair stock of bad language.
    i am alot more careful now about using it though, and i've noticed I never use any unless i know someone or feel comfortable they won't be offended by it

    ??

    When I say "good manners" I mean saying please and thank you, being polite, table etiquette... but now that you've mentioned it, I suppose I would consider cursing to be quite the opposite of mannerly, in some situations.

    I don't mind the odd bit of swearing, but if someone used curse words a lot, just in everyday conversation, rather than when they were angry or highly strung, I probably would consider it bad manners.

    Totally agree about good manners. And being considerate to others, like holding a door open for someone instead of letting it slam in their face!

    actually i've become quite paranoid about this, so i'm actively trying to stop myself swearing unless i'm genuinely annoyed

    I curse a shocking amount, then again I went to an all lads school for 5 years, then I went to a kip for another 5!

    Actually I must agree with the grammer skills thing as well...I do get quite annoyed when I read emails, etc from other people which contain grammer mistakes!

    I have impeccable manners and fantastic grammar, but I curse like a sailor. 14 years in all male school will do that to you, especially if that school is in Mahon.

    Then again, the word fcuk is an adjective really, if it's in the dictionary it's not a bad word!!!
