He must care about his appearance. This is a must hav. Not sayin he gotta b a super model, but sloppy stuff when I take time 2 look ri, don't sit well w/me
He must b smart, funny n have self-respect.
The quality that is a must have is self-respect. That is the root of all. That person knows how to control his thoughts n actions n act respectful in all situations. Shyat I ain't got bail $$. He go 2 jail, he on his own cuz I'm a flight risk @ that point.
& yes, guilty of dating some1 w/out self-respect. Thought I could help a brutha

It just don't work. He has to have it in him first.
