What are the 5 main qualities U look for in a potential partner/mate?

Though its commonly said "love is blind, it choosed randomly", we still have preferences when it comes to choosing a mate (besides the obvious "pretty/beautiful" thing)...
Mine :
1) Curves (I have a preference for thick girls for some reasons razz )
2) Smart and well-educated/well-cultured (nuthing worse than bein with someone who lacks conversation or can't handle one...)
3) Artsy (I love creative and imaginative people)
4) Kinda snob (yeah, weird, but it adds some value and respect), yet open-minded (Im a weirdo sometimes lol )
5) A chef (a bit cliché, but a woman, that can cook.. that just sexy razz )

What are your 5 main citeria U'd like your 'ideal' partner to have? (man/woman/sraight/gay..° (knowing we're talking about PREFERENCES, not necessary what U actual partner is like)...
Everybody is somebody, but nobody wants to be themselves.

Witty, sense of humor and compassionate.
I like him to hold his own and speak up if he doesn't agree with me.
I like a man that is trusting, one that doesn't act overly possessive.
An unselfish lover with just a bit of freak in him... not too freaky, I'm not going to take a crap on your chest or wear a strap-on.
Last, I like him to be confident.

1. Sense of humor (a MUST if you're gonna roll with me)
2. Emotionally stable (she may have to carry the both of us because I'm totally fucked up)
3. Faithful. No excuses.
4. Honest. If you screw up, admit it. If you're wrong, admit it. If you do something wrong, don't try to lie your way out to protect your own ass.
5. Affectionate. If I never held you and told you I love you, you would hurt. Guess what, that pain is a two-way street.
Christopher damn!

I usually fall in love with somebody at first sight and then that person is the one I want to be with no matter what. I usually feel attracted to men who have a cute smile, are not tall, have nice not too short hair and have something special and unique about them that immediately draws my attention. I love men who have style love. If it turns out in the first 5 minutes of our conversation that they are really nice too I am lost lol. So I don't have to think what other qualities I might like/want/need as it is too late by then anyway sigh.
With a very special thank you to Tina: Is hammer already absolute, how much some people verändern...ICH hope is never so I will be! And if, then I hope that I would then have wen in my environment who joins me in the A....

1. Must be self-deprecating without it being too obvious that you're just looking for compliments or self-pitying. (I know that's weird, but it turns me on). This actually falls under the umbrella of sense of humor which is vital.

2. Must not be vehemently politically opposed to me. I could never date someone who didn't believe in reproductive rights, gay rights, and Lady Gaga.

3. Must be polite and respectful, but not wimpy and a pushover. (there's a balance)

4. Must not talk too much. That's what my friends are for. I want a lover who is like a quiet storm. lol


5. Must be willing to do the grocery shopping, because I hate it so much. Thanks.






and :



6. 2. Must not have ANY hangups about my spelling. brick

Not quite. I meant someone who sees outside of herself. There's so many interesting and peculiar things we encounter in life. There's always new things to do and to learn. I want to be with someone who wants to explore it all as opposed to just what's on the surface.

Someone who isn't suicidal is nice too. lol

hmmm

I'm not sure I can answer this one. I'm not sure anymore.
I always seem to end up with the same kind of guy, no matter what I say I'm looking for. It's frustrating. pout

First and foremost: I want someone who is going to care about me and not try to take advantage of my love & kindness.

Your lies, they cut me.
Now your words don't mean a thing.
I don't give a damn if you ever loved me..."

  • super smart/intelligent/whatever
  • makes me laugh and knows how to laugh himself
  • compassionate and kind
  • compatible taste in, well, most things, like music, style, food, etc. (This doesn't have to be an exact match at all, but enough alike that we compliment each other. I just don't know how I could sustain a long term relationship with someone who only listened to death metal and ate steak for every meal, for example.)
  • loyal/devoted/monogamous-minded - I'm a one-man kinda girl, I expect him to be a one-woman kinda guy.

lol lol I'm a ogre when it comes to food... Though I can cook, it's still great to have a girlfriend that can cook... Believe me, its quite hard nowadays... canned food, microwaved food, takeaway food? No thanx, anybody can do that lol ... So I consider cooking some kind of talent (and every woman in my family can cook, so I'd feel weird if my gf/wife cant...)

cool
