    I want someone who has similiar morals. I want honesty, trustworthy and reliable. I also like a man with a sense of humour. We have to be friends, above all else. I haven't had much luck finding someone who has all the things I want. And its not that I am picky but some things are deal breakers!!! I deserve a person who is all of these things and more...I won't settle. I would rather be alone!!

    Someone who has a sense of humour and can make me laugh, that is one of the most important things.
    Intelligent
    Caring
    Great chemistry
    Does not take themselves too seriously
    Does not get a complex when I wear heels and tower above them!
    My boyfriend is 5'10 and I am 6'0 so when I wear 3 inch heels.. yeah. Luckily he loves having a tall woman!
    Hahaha.

    A nice smile always gets me too :)

    Genetic predisposition to little body hair.............wow you'd be the first girl to ever turn me down for a genetic reason. Many many other reasons have been cited over the years, but that's a first for me....

    When I was dating a few years ago I always said I wanted someone with an IQ of at least 130. If he doesn't understand my jokes, it's not gonna work.

    So lucky I found a guy who doesn't just know about quarks, but was also very enthousiastic to get into the car with me a drive for about 15 hours to visit the open day at CERN, to go and see the LHC (Large Hadron Collider).

    hehehehe ^^^ this one made me giggle ... although I am partial to a bit of body hair.
    Like a manly man, but still has style, can make me laugh and be compassionate and caring. Sexual Compatability is a must obviously ;-)

    It sure is a tough one! I love a man with a beard and a full head of hair but don't really like a man that must do much grooming for me to see the muscles, tattoos or... other things.

    Physically~Eyes with depth and a smile that can stop my heart ( well not literally, hehe) I do like someone that takes care of themself as well.

    Non-physical~ humor, depth, honesty, humility, willingness to work through things and not fly off the handle, someone that is my best friend as well as lover.

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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 ;-)
