what's ~your~ way?

sense of humor... this is TRUE for me. i live to laugh. i like to make others laugh as well. it's something so very important to me in a partner.

an ease about them. i have noticed that the couple of guys whom i've felt the most connected to and intense about are guys who had an ease, familiarity to them that made me feel oh so comfortable. i didn't tense up nor try to impress them because i didn't feel i had to. what they saw is what they got and they liked it. it was awesome.

a love for life. someone who is ALIVE and doesn't hold back. i am taking life on by the horns and am strongly attracted to someone who has the same hunger.

Sense of humor is mandatory, being spontaneous and adventurous and musical is very important too.

I think the main three are:

Emotion - I want someone who isn't afraid to show their emotion, to talk about their feelings.
Communication - Verbal communication is my big weakness. I'm useless at it. I need someone who can talk to me, encourage me to talk and work with me to deal with issues even though I just want to close up and hide.
Honesty - I can get over most things, as long as I'm told about them honestly. The idea that I could be ignorant of something is a million times more painful for me than the fact that it's happened. Of course, this doesn't extend to cheating - I'd be gone in a second!

Fortunately, I have all three in my fiance even though he does sometimes try to act all 'macho'. I make it clear I'm not keen. He sometimes says he wishes he'd grown up with more typically masculine influences in his life. I'm glad he didn't.

Trust, compatibility and humor

I like someone who has a great sense of self-humor, i.e., they can make fun of themselves and know their faults and don't fish around for compliments.
They must also have their emotions in check. I'm a woman. I don't want to deal with womanly men. I don't like talking about emotions. Please. Stop telling me how much you love me, and bring me something to eat.
I like men who understand a new pair of shoes every once in a while is a complete necessity.
They need to be able to understand that I like talking to random people and causing a scene at the most inopportune time.
If they're afraid to wrestle around because they'll hurt me, they need not apply.
If he doesn't appreciate my hair, it's no bueno.
He has to love spending time with me, but also love spending time by himself. I can't handle constant togetherness.
If he does not approve of my panda, I do not approve of him.
If he disapproves of me showering with my woman, I disapprove of him.
And finally...
If he can't handle my singing random songs in very awkward moments, he does not need to apply.
