Age? 26
Best feature? He's nice and tall (6')...I kind of feel like he's the perfect height. Good hands, too.
Best personality trait? He is endlessly patient and very slow to get upset/angry. The opposite of me.
Favorite thing about him? See previous. Also, the way he says things makes me laugh pretty much every day.
What does he do for a living? He manages equipment for several pro sports teams. He works for a manufacturer that sponsors the teams, so he is always dealing with logistics, purchasing, factories, custom orders, and technical support. He travels a great deal. Last year, he went to the Canary Islands, Spain, France, Monaco, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, California, Germany, and probably some others that I'm forgetting.
One thing about him that drives you crazy? He seems to be incapable of turning out lights in our house. He's also a pack rat. I throw out his shits when he isn't home and he hasn't missed anything yet.
Does he know about your nest addiction? Does he support it? Yes, and sort of. I love Nest/Bump trainwrecks and he hates hearing about them. He also hates when people suggest things like Tiny Towers and I get addicted to them.

Age? 29
Best feature? His real smile. He isn't an extremely smiley person. His face is very attractive IMO, and he has a hot body, and I was attracted to him immediately when we met (ages ago). That smile just lights everything up though, and makes him even more attractive to me.
Best personality trait? I could go a few different directions here. I really love his personality. He is an extremely loving and patient dad and a really good teacher to the little dude. I love watching them interact. He's determined and very intelligent, good at making and executing a plan and figuring out how to do things.

Does he know about your nest addiction? Does he support it? Oh yeah. I told him early on, because one of the girls on my local is married to a guy he used to work with, and when she and I realized this and started chatting, I wanted to tell Mr. Bang. He likes that I call him Mr. Bang on here, lol.

Best personality trait? His ability to stay calm no matter what happens and that he is very compassionate and empathetic.
Favorite thing about him? He is very thoughtful and always can make me laugh. It's always very accepting of how I feel and what I think and he listens to me.
What does he do for a living? City Planner.
One thing about him that drives you crazy? Sometimes his "it'll all work out" without planning attitude drives me bananas because he is a planner for work and not so much in life. We are total opposites in this regard.

One thing about him that drives you crazy? He doesn't always think things through in a thoughtful way
Does he know about your nest addiction? Does he support it? He knows and he's fine with it, but he HATES when I talk about him on here. Guess this poll wasn't such a good idea!

I normally lurk here but this one is fun.
Age? 35
Best feature? beautiful grey eyes, broad shoulders..mmm
Best personality trait? He's incredibly patient with me, so fun to be around, and just kind and charismatic
Favorite thing about him? The way he makes me laugh. He's the Clyde to my Bonnie and we just get each other.
What does he do for a living? Tattoo artist
One thing about him that drives you crazy? He is incredibly stubborn. It's difficult to get him to see your side of a story, but when he finally does he apologizes and shows that he understands. It's frustrating.
Does he know about your nest addiction? Does he support it? He knows I'm on here, and doesn't care either way.
Mr. Bang does this too! Not okay. We'll get in bed all warm and cozy and them BAM, cold hands on me.
Ohh I hate that. FI does this a LOT too. And when I try to do it to him he gets all bent out of shape about it.
DH hates it when I do that! But how else am I supposed to warm them? I think he should be sharing his heat.
Age? 31
Best feature? his big, green eyes, maybe, or his little rosebud of a mouth (I know this sounds girly, but I swear, the large, masculine nose just makes it really, really handsome)
Best personality trait? I love his silliness.
Favorite thing about him?' how affectionate he is
What does he do for a living? software engineer
One thing about him that drives you crazy?
He tends to prattle about nothing, but he has a dramatic voice so what he says sounds important, but it isn't. The worst is when he calls me (I hate the phone) and rambles about not much, giving me the play-by-play of absolutely nothing as though it's the last two minutes of a tied hockey game. I'm walking to the car. I'm getting inside. A SQUIRREL JUST WENT BY! It's maddening, especially since he has a tendency to call when I'm on the toilet.
Does he know about your nest addiction? Does he support it? yes and yes; he has met three online friends of mine thus far
Age? 38
Best feature? eyes (they are a steel grey and he has long dark lashes)
Best personality trait? His sense of humor
Favorite thing about him?' His sense of humor! He's got the best sense of humor of anyone I've ever known and he's funny! He and DS are similar in their humor and go back and forth with jokes and such all of the time.
What does he do for a living? It's a desk job where he travels every couple of months. He hates it.
One thing about him that drives you crazy? Good crazy: he has a way with foot rubs
Bad crazy: he's a little/a lot OCD about making sure doors are locked and that nothing is going to cause a fire. My mom likes this about him because she knows that my DS and I will always be safe!
Does he know about your nest addiction? Does he support it? He does not know that I nest. It's my outlet. If he found out I'd be okay with it, but I don't feel the need to tell him unless he asks. I'm sure he wouldn't have an issue with it at all if he knew. He's addicted to a farming forum (boring) and I harass him about it now and then, but it's all in fun.
Hah! I love it. MH tends to pause mid story. Same effect. You think something amazing is about to be imparted to you... but its' usually not.
Age? 30
Best feature? His eyes.
Best personality trait? The fact that he's a huge, huge goof. I love it.
Favorite thing about him?' His sense of humor.
What does he do for a living? Drafter and estimator.
One thing about him that drives you crazy? When he gets an idea in his head, he can be very stubborn about it.
Does he know about your nest addiction? Does he support it? Yes, he knows. He calls TN and TK posters "those internet people". He's convinced that going to a GTG with anybody will result in me getting skinned and turned into a lampshade.
Same here. He does it to me when he gets to bed but if I ever do it to him he tells me I'm being mean to him. That just makes me want to do it all the more!
I do this to other people. Luckily a lot of them find some sort of pride in warming them up.
OMFG, the dramatic pause. It makes me crazy. I can't even tell you how many times we've had this exchange:
Mr. Kuus: I... would like to ask you... IF...
...
...
...
Me: If what, dammit, IF WHAT?! (sound of shoe banging on table like Khrushchev)
Mr. Kuus: (all huffily) Well, never mind; clearly you're not in the mood to talk right now.
*seethe*
Another lurker, but I like polls and questionaire-type posts
Age? 42
Best feature? He has the most beautiful long hair and has muscley man-arms great for holding and hugging.
Best personality trait? He is tremendously charismatic. He charms everyone and he sincerely cares about all people in his life, and everyone who meets him is his insta-friend. It is really remarkable.
Favorite thing about him? His love for life and for having fun. And the fact that he is out shopping for the type of bagels that my Dad likes right now since they are visiting.
What does he do for a living? Chef and restaurant owner.
One thing about him that drives you crazy? He loves knick knacks (I do not) and never takes his clothes out of the dryer.
Does he know about your nest addiction? Does he support it? He knows I play around on the interwebs at work. He is totally fine with it, of course, but I would bet he finds it quite sad that I spend so much time on it.
