What do you Muslim girls look for when looking for a potential future husband? Looks, height, attractiveness, skin colour, financial stability, personality? All the above? Does one personal attribute matter more than another?
Re: Muslim Girls
they can't tell what they want because they will be labeled as "gold diggers" ... :)
Re: Muslim Girls
You missed most important thing i.e character everything else comes after.
Re: Muslim Girls
I dunno where in this thread I asked for guys opinions regarding what girls look for, unless of course you dress as a girl on weekends and call yourself Lucy.
Re: Muslim Girls
I'd say most sane people can overlook whether one is more or less attractive. As long as there is some physical attraction, then the rest falls on personality (if theyre attractive personality wise) and whether there is compatibility. Be it values, culture or even financial views.
Re: Muslim Girls
Don't fall for it, girls!! This is @Sentry's way of filtering the prospects.:D
Re: Muslim Girls
A morally upright guy whom I can respect (this encompasses a whole lot of things). I definitely want to be attracted to the person. Money is not something I've thought about because I have my own but I do want to retain my standard of living in halal ki kamai. I would also want to marry with the same lifestyle and ambitions as me. Oh, and definitely someone I can have a good laugh with.
Re: Muslim Girls
If you're specifying a Muslim girl, then her first priority is always whether her husband will be a practicing, believing Muslim as well. He doesn't have to have a beard, but he should be firm in his belief. Not saying he has to be a mullah-figure.
If you're going to say a desi girl, and it's an arranged marriage, then her first priority will be his career + education, and then whatever wants and likes and dislikes she has.
Re: Muslim Girls
I know a movie What Women Want but never heard of What Muslim Women Want **or What Non Muslim Women Want**
Theoretically speaking, beside other preferences muslim girl should look for good muslim guy. That is the only difference b/w "wants" of muslim and non muslim girls

He should be a God fearing Muslim too, good character, have decent education and be somewhat stable in life, I guess... The list could be longer. :D
Re: Muslim Girls
Women don't know what they want. How can anyone else?
Re: Muslim Girls
Obviously, he has to be Muslim. The most important factor for me would be that he isn't and arrogant ***hole. He has to be open minded or willing to not shut out things he doesn't agree with. He shouldn't be a prick to others. Obviously he should be good looking, but everyone is attractive in their own way. I dont mind if he doesnt like the things i like, and i dont mind if hes studying something that i might think is useless. whatever makes him happy, as long as he does the same for me. So in other words he has to be 'chill'

In an arranged setup financial stability, education and family background probably top the list.. Looks and personality also important but not usually the most important things people look for imo (bar the extremes)
If not arranged then more likely love and personal attraction, personality etc. rather than family background, his job and so on..
Re: Muslim Girls
For me it's his personality and honesty. Attractiveness to me comes from a great personality.
Sometimes people can be very good-looking and it attracts you to get to know them but when you do and their personality isn't to your liking - then the attraction from their looks fades fast.
I think marrying someone well-off would be reassuring financially but it's not something I ever looked for.
