1) reliable ("in sickness and in health", doesn't change his mind all the time, doesn't take illegal drugs, etc)
2) responsible ( being mature, realizes that he is the head of the family)
3) kind (doesn't get mad easily, can laugh at problems and at himself, doesn't argue often and genrally love people and is satisfied with his life, optimist)
4) has realistic expectations 
5) has cats  (my personal observation is that if the man loves cats and has one or two we normally have a lot on common, he becomes a really good friend)

Cool! Those expectation are so realistic, well other than having cats it kinda matches the type of person i am an pretty much every of my male friends (not trying to make a point in here, just saying), if that's ideal husband qualities then i am really glad i am quite on the right track  

Thanks a lot for the answer, i really appreciate it,

@everyone else : more answers are always welcome.

Careful he's not a closet homosexual then or infected with Toxoplasma gondii; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxoplasma_gondii

1. Faithful (being committed only to the wife and not chasing other women)

2. Reliable (being supportive and true friend and keep to the word)

3. Educated/smart (not necessary academic, but he should be always interesting to communicate with and he must be able to support many different topics, as communication is one of the most important thing in successful marriage)

4. Open minded/realistic (he should be always open and honest with a woman and share all the things and important questions. He should be realistic towards himself first of all and a woman he is married to)

5. Well-off (to my mind, it is also important when a man is able to support his family, as there are many couples, esp. in my country, who got divorced because of lack of money in a family. All should be in balance, otherwise, it is not gonna work.

Assume that we talk about the inner qualities of a man, not about attractiveness, chemistry, etc.
1. He must be a driven ambitious professional, who strives to achieve more and who wants to have only the best in his life. Including me
2. Good communicator in word and script. I feel annoyed talking to someone who is restricted in his vocabulary and expressions.
3. Zest for life. He must be passionate and curious about a number of things in life, willing to learn and to discover new oppurtunities.
4. Fairness. He treats people the way he wants to be treaten himself.
4. He takes pride in his health and appearance.

Again, i am quite happy for i am on the right track thanks a lot for the reply, when i posted this question on yahoo answers, i got no serious answers, just some rubbish like "My ideal husband is billionaire, 90 and has a serious heart condition" which is sick and funny, and not exactly what i was looking for, i really appreciate the honest and nice answers i received here. 

@Mila : Thanks to you too for the reply.

I did not know that fact about cats.   My list of reasons for not liking cats has now grown from 37 to 38. 
 
Sorry, Vasilisia, most men like dogs.   GQ likes cats, but he thinks a man should get rid of his wife if she gets sick and becomes overweight.  Thus, you can't have everything in a man.   Only women are perfect.   

[Gator]

 
1.  Find a man who has excellent family values, is good with children, and is helpful around home.

2.  Find a man who is both wealthy and generous.

3.  Find a man who is charming, makes you laugh, and is much fun to be with.

4.  Find a man who is great in bed.

5.  Make sure that these four men don't know about each other and never meet..

Change man to woman and the result is strikingly similar.

I was always in search of a woman with certain attributes too. I swore if I ever found her, I'd marry her on the spot. Unfortunately, I never found her.

1. Own a bank

2. Own a golf course

3. Own a liquor store

4. Have big tits

 

[Darth_Budda]

Sorry to butt my ugly head in here, But I have 2 100 lbs pit bulls that think their cats, Does that count?

Most cats were I live are wild barn cats kept for mice and really rather dirty.
They are for the most part 100% wild.

And FP women don't like it when you talk like that. Try some PC when you comment.

Save the guy talk for the guys.

An old joke but so appropriate.
The Husband Store

A new store that sells husbands has just opened where a woman
 may go to choose a husband from among many men. The
 store is composed of 6 floors, and the men increase in positive
 attributes as the shopper ascends the flights.

 There is, however, a catch. As you open the door to any floor you may
 choose a man from that floor, but if you go up a floor, you cannot go
 back down except to exit the building.

 So a woman goes to the shopping center to find a husband.

 On the first floor the sign on the door reads:

 Floor 1 - These men have jobs.
 The woman reads the sign and says to herself, "Well, that's better
 than my last boyfriend, but I wonder what's further up?"

 So up she goes.

 The second floor sign reads:

 Floor 2 - These men have jobs and love kids.
 The woman remarks to herself, "That's great, but I wonder what's
 further up?" And up she goes again.

 The third floor sign reads:

 Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love kids and are extremely good
 looking. "Hmm, better" she says. "But I wonder what's upstairs?"

 The fourth floor sign reads:

 Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking
 and help with the housework. "Wow!" exclaims the woman, "very
 tempting. BUT, there must be more further up!" And again she heads up
 another flight.

 The fifth floor sign reads:

 Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love kids, are extremely good looking,
 help with the housework and have a strong romantic streak. "Oh, mercy
 me! But just think... what must be awaiting me further on?" So up to
 the sixth floor she goes.

 The sixth floor sign reads:

 Floor 6 - You a re visitor 3,456,789,012 to this floor. There are no
 men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are
 impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at The Husband Store and
 have a nice day
[/size]The Wife  Store[/size] [/font]
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner found it necessary to open a Wives store just across the street.
The 1st first floor has wives that love sex.
The 2nd floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The 3rd,4th, 5th and 6th floors have never been visited.

[spyece]

@Gator : That joke was worth reading, loved it! will definitely share it with my friends and i am quite sure they will love it too

P.S. I would have gone to floor 3 expecting there is wife, who loves sex, loves to do house hold chores and loves romantic guys...

[Avis]
