What do you look for in a partner?
Replies

All the usual stuff, plus they MUST be smarter than me. Otherwise, I can tend to be manipulative. Then I lose interest very quickly.0

If I can tolerate, i can mate.0

A great sense of humor, a calm demeanor, a general respect for living things, and a playful, open-minded outlook.
Oh, and he has to try at least a bite of whatever I cook for him no matter what it is. You cannot say you don't like it until you have tried it.0 -
Look for? This will probably be just me, but I find this depressing... It's cooler to encounter things you weren't looking for, surprises are good. Plus if you just look for certain things, you get tunnel vision and won't necessarily have a heart open enough to let in someone truly special. I feel like those qualities we can't immediately "see" end up the most valuable.0

It's just a bit of fun. Most of the people here have found someone they weren't really lookin for. They may not have what they "look for" but are happy just the same. Like me. I just happened upon my husband and I wasn't looking for anything I had listed.
If that makes any sense... I can't wait to get off shift!0 -
A friend suggested creating a pictureboard and putting it out to the 'Universe' what I wanted. She insisted if I did so, believed and waited, then it would be delivered. Having been single for a long time and had some really crappy relationships, I thought 'what the hell, nothing to lose'
So I created a pictureboard about 'love' last year. Its a small photo frame and inside it I printed off and stuck together all sorts of pictures that signify love and a healthy relationship, from two swans to all sorts of pics of happy couples and beautiful, romantic, lovely things. Around the frame are the words:
Strong, Honest, Romantic
Growth, Acceptance, Physical Attraction, Intimacy, Communication, Respect and Freedom
I then put it out there that was what I wanted from a relationship/man and was happy to wait. Every day I looked at it and imagined having that relationship in my life. Six months later I met said man.
My partner and I have now been together for over a year and its still absolutely blissful! He is all of the things I asked for and more, our relationship is exactly as desired and its interesting as he would not be a guy I'd normally go for on looks - shaved head, covered in tattoos etc., total opposite of my usual 'type.
So put out there what you want in a relationship - how you want that relationship to be, rather than looks or how you want a person to be - seems the 'Universe' does deliver, it just doesn't always come in the packaging we expect ;-)0 -

I agree with the self esteem thing. In general, man or chick, its irritating to deal with whining.
I thought my hubs was an opposites attract situation, after I got to know him I realized I married a younger male version of myself. Ppl even say we look alike. So I guess I look for me in a partner.
Butt, I like butts. He has the biggest roundest perkiest butt. He has actually gotten it grabbed randomly while on army base before.
faces are big on list. Gotta look at them. Eyes and smile.
Loving, I am not into the cold logical type. I don't care how manly a guy needs top pretend to be to make up for shortcomings. I want a real man, not afraid to be romantic. I want a LOVER.
I agree with character too. Character and honor.
And can make me laugh. Thats big.0 -
No scrubs. If he's all hanging out the passenger side of his best friend's ride trying to holla at me, then no, that guy that can't get no love from me. Right? Because his game is kinda weak and I know that he cannot approach me. Especially since I'm looking like class and he's looking like trash. I just really can't get with a dead-beat *kitten*.0

Could be a low grade form of it. Who knows?0 -
The capability of of keeping things interesting - whether it's humor, interests or anything else - a viewpoint and actual actions that keep me intrigued, interested, learning and respectful and hopefully the same quid pro quo (do ut des) for my partner.
And a very high capacity to communicate becuase I tend to be a river and a sinkhole.0 -

I have given this a lot of thought. I love a guy with a nice smile and a wonderful personality. I want a gentleman, someone chivalrous. Someone who has a great sense of humor and can make me laugh. Someone who is sexually compatible. There's probably more but this is all I can think of right now.0
