By being himself, and us finding that we're compatible. And then meeting in person and finding that we're both attracted to each other. And getting to spend a long time talking, baring our souls to each other. It's when a man who fulfills this:
The Invitation by Oriah Mountain Dreamer:
It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing.
It doesn’t interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love for your dream for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn’t interest me what planets are squaring your moon... I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow if you have been opened by life’s betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain mine or your own without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy mine or your own if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful to be realistic to remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure yours and mine and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, “Yes.”
It doesn’t interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn’t interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn’t interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

In response to: How can a man win your heart ? yes you..
Silly men. My heart is not a prize to be won. If you just be yourself, are honest with yourself, me and others, are willing to support, encourage and inspire, I shall give it to you.

Sorry, not possible. Closest its ever got was 7 shots of wild turkey, 15 minutes after last shot. A woman w/ a large adams apple an hairy fingers came up to me and asked if she could buy me a drink. And I said "Hell no!" lolz

Ah therein lies the problem. I accept drinks from everyone, it's their problem if they expect something in return. But only if it's served straight from the bar person to me. Last time I was out, Vomit Vernon looked like the type to spike a gals drink.... But alas, the drink went straight from the waitress into my hands, so I drank it.
