This could be a "trick question"! We are not asked what kind of man would be attracted to Ziva, nor what kind of man would Ziva be attracted to. No, instead we are asked "What sort of man would suit Ziva?", a distinctively separate question. So, adhering to the question I would first say a strong, masculine, physically and mentally fit man. Ziva is not intimidated by men. She has been raised by men and been around men all her life and trained with military men. So she would need a man not intimidated by her - which would be a challenge because she is intimidating. She is blunt, speaks the truth, loves her job, enjoys fighting for peace. She possesses excellent hand-to-hand combat skills so the right man for Ziva better be able to defend himself or be found dead in the bedroom after play-time.

She possesses amazing skills with knifes and guns and rifles. She can defuse a bomb. She is not afraid to kill someone and is extremely skilled at assassination. She speaks 8 to 10 languages. She can swear in all those languages. This could intimidate many men (not the swearing in Russian, but her skills at assassination!)

She has made it clear that since being at NCIS she has had affairs with several men. After being in Paris it was deliberately left unclear if she slept with Tony - I don't believe she did even though hints were dropped she did. I can see the two of them sharing a hotel bed and nothing happening. I have always felt there was no more an appropriate and perfectly matched man for Ziva than Ari. He was everything she was. He possessed every skill she possessed. Plus he was an amazing handsome man, with a toned body and a beautiful hairy chest. We saw her face light up when she saw Tony's bare hairy chest. And yes, she did see McGee's chest but I saw a smile on her face when she look at McGee's chest, not the look she gave Tony.

During her time working at Mossad Ziva was part of a Special Operations Unit. This unit specialized in assassinations, sabotage & psychological warfare. Ziva had been involved in operations in Cairo. She met Jenny Shepard in Egypt. Ziva could kill someone twelve different ways with a sharpened pencil, seven with an unsharpened pencil. We've see Ziva take down 250 pound men on drugs and crazed men who don't know who they are. She could be matched with John Cena on WWE and I would put my money on her

Ziva is aggressive yet caring - she hides her emotions for many reasons. She is supposed to be a wonderful cook. I doubt if Ziva would marry out of her faith. She always wears her star of David necklace. And actually replaced it a few times. Or some replaced it for her. While she is not an Orthodox Jew (we have seen her work on Saturdays) I just feel she would feel more comfortable with a Jewish man.

She is intuitive and intelligent and clever., She plays the piano. She is beautiful and sexy and physically fit.

So what kind of man would suit Ziva? A very intelligent, handsome, career motivated, physically fit and strong, hairy chested, olive-skinned, aggressive, very dominate man who was multi- lingual and not intimidated by anyone. A man who would treat Ziva with the love and tenderness she deserved. And man who shared the same political standards as Ziva does.

Stoney- has got a point,
Ziva was raised by men, so is completely used to them, she isn't scared of them.

She needs some one perfectly like her, Some one who is smart and strong. Can put up with her muddling up the English language. Also, he would probably need to be good looking, caring and nice.

You could probably go on forever, but she doesn't seem to want a relationship at the moment.
But she will find someone,
Eventually.

I'm hoping it will be Tony, but you never know.

Ziva appears to respect strengh and power so I think that is what she would need in a partner. Someone she could not intimidate and who could stand his ground with her. Do you find this valuable?

Certainly I don't mind you deleting part of me - depending up what parts you delete!
I am MORE than saying Ziva was attracted to Ari, I am saying they slept together they were shown naked in bed together on at least one episode. They clearly had sex BUT this was before Ziva discovered that she had an older half brother through he father,

Uhm...Don't know where you got that from, but that guy was Michael Rivkin...Ziva always knew Ari was her brother. Do you find this valuable?

You're confusing your characters. It was Rivkin we saw Ziva in bed with not Ari

Yes, sorry you are correct. If she hadn't been so promiscuous I wouldn't be so confused ! I like her JUST the way she is :)

I don't think Ziva's ever been portrayed as promiscuous...she's certainly not sweet and innocent, but she's not a slut either! Do you find this valuable?

Excuse me suekay87....but you are right. I don't think she has been with too many men. Apart from Rivkin I can't recall anymore...maybe 1 other. Do you find this valuable?

Promiscuous? I don't think she's a nun, last time I checked she hooked up with Locke and Rivkin. Do you find this valuable?

This is the 21st century not the Victorian era, what she does in her free time is her own business.
But we're straying from topic here, which is: 'What sort of man would suit Ziva'? A difficult question given her Mossad background and professional career. The most likely candidate would be somebody in law enforcement who understood the kind of pressure involved or somebody doing shift work, who would understand the long hours and unpredictability of finishing time, etc.

"Whose Locke again HK?"
Locke was the serial killer suspect in Recoil, the dark haired dude she hooked up with at the bar and the one DiNozzo thought he was the main suspect

I think that the man would have to be quite strong to get her attention. I watched a re-run and she was very attracted to a man that was very strong. she even wore dangling earings for him!!!!!! Do you find this valuable?
