What is most important in a partner?

Serious thread here, so treat it as such thank you very much.

Ok, what do you look for in a partner? I know Americans are into all this self-help bullshit so you analyse everything down to the finest, most relationship-crippling detail. Here's what I want you to do - organise these following things into the order of most importance to you when choosing (or maintaining a relationship with) a partner:


Honesty/integrity

Sexual performance

Ambition/financial capability

Kindness (includes ability to care, thoughtfulness, physical warmth etc.)

Intelligence

Humour

Physical appearance


Thank you. smile

That's ok. Obviously some of you are a little shy about posting, but don't be scared. I'm here to facilitate proceedings and let me tell you, I'm very capable. nod

Nothing really. It's just a sociological thing (big word=fauxie is intelligent). I'll tally up the scores at some point and see what orgers in general want in a partner. That's if more than a handful of people reply. shrug

Alright then! I'll discount the lewd ass-related category since that wasn't in the specified list of choices, but otherwise good stuff Anx! hug You want a kind-hearted, good-looking, funny, smart guy who's broke, crap in bed and is a compulsive liar. thumbs up!

oh, don't be bitter. bedroom talents are trainable, and the truth always reveals itself, so let 'em just try to bullshit me.

i do think it's insensitive of you to discount my lust for thai-fed man ass, though. hmph!

okay, well, how long will it take to pass through your system? don't you think you should put some nice, hot vegetarian in you?

i was serious about the rest of that list stuff, by the way. it's hard to explain, but honesty isn't really something i bother over, because honesty always seems to work itself out in the long run, for better or for worse.

I understand what you mean. It's not something you can really know in the beginning anyway. I didn't want to mention that though. I thought it might spoil my thread.

For the sake of the format couldn't you make a distinction just this once? I have a feeling this thread is going to change the world.

Alright, then kindness comes second, humour third. But very, very grudgingly.
