The Times has a slightly tongue-and-cheek but also kinda serious suggested list of "rules" for selecting a husband. Jezebel thinks the general concept could be usefully extended to friends as well.
Potential Husband Musts: (According to Shane Watson)
1) Must genuinely like women (as in all women, not just fit under-thirties). You can test this. Your fat single best friend will help. Also, he should totally get Sue Perkins, Miranda Hart and scary Sue in Glee.
2) Must have some men friends from way back (and, no, footballers do not count).
3) Must be kind. Without exceptions. Mean cracks about SuBo or Patsy Kensit or Rebecca Adlington are a giveaway.
4) Must not be gay. (Seriously. I know at least three people who married gay men thinking they were just artistic. It doesn’t end happily, ever). Can be almost gay and should genuinely enjoy Mamma Mia! and Alan Carr.
5) Must be capable of equating love with responsibility. Owning a dog is a start.
6) Must have a passion besides you (his work would be a good one).
7) Must have the same attitude as you to sex, money and family. (How much of each is desirable. The best use of it, and so on.) Shopping together and agreeing on what the word “holiday” means is a bonus.
8) Must have some pride.
