We don't all like the same thing in a man. I'm sure if you put your fiance in a lineup with all the guys your friends are dating, it would be a motley crew indeed. Tall, muscley, skinny, short, corporate, artsy, serious, goofy...there are a lot of "types" our there and a lot of women who specifically seek them. It's nearly impossible to decide on any one universal criteria that "The Perfect Man" must meet. Wait. Maybe there's one...

Your friends must be able to stand him.

Recently, I was listening to a friend of mine gush on about her latest heartthrob. Super cute, attentive, not-dumb, this new guy seemed to be everything she wanted in a man and more. There was only one red flag: her best friend Nancy doesn't seem to like him. For reasons she can't put her finger on.

Through the course of our conversation, I watched my friend swing from elation over how great a cook and conversationalist her new boyfriend was, to nail-biting worry. She fretted over the fact that Nancy, like a cancer-sniffing dog, may be sensing something bad in this guy that my friend hadn't seen yet.

This happens, right? Friends pick up on the sleazy or lazy or cheap vibe long before we ourselves see it. Makes sense that they would, since they're not the ones distracted by makeout sessions and sweet talk. So we listen to them and we worry.

Should we? What if our friends are wrong or worse - jealous? Maybe without even knowing they're doing it, they are planting seeds of doubt in your mind in order to sabotage the relationship. That way, you'll be back to your margarita-swilling always available girl pal old self in no time.

So how does your man measure up? Do your friends like, tolerate or loathe your fiance? Have you ever successfully dated someone your friends disliked?
