There are all sorts of things that fit into the criteria of what I'm looking for in a person, but the thing is that we're looking for PEOPLE and not traits. I find that listing things we're looking for in a person is like putting an ad for a job. Of course we have standards, I'm just saying it's best to look at the individual for their personality and how well you "click" with them. Don't DISCARD the traits you're looking for, but don't overlook someone who doesn't fulfill those traits either. The only thing that comes of listing those traits for other people to read is to encourage the people you meet to put up a front pretending to be everything that you want, then you end up being disappointed down the road when you realize that person isn't what they pretended to be.


I totally agree with you! One thing I wouldn't list is a guy who smokes, but I don't rule out all guys just because they do. I am currently dating a smoker (not sure for how much longer, but that's a whole other thread). I knew he smoked from the first time we met 8 years ago, but he is thoughtful when it comes to smoking around me because he knows I don't.

Don't settle for less than you are looking for, but don't be so focused on a few things that you overlook a great person, because he don't fit exactly into a list you have.

I am not looking for anything specific in someone.. I don't have a type because I've discovered if someone has a type it's usually because that type reminds them of someone else.. age, hair color, eye color.. none of that matters much to me as long as there is some attraction.. of course I like good conversation, sense of humor and stuff.. but one 'requirement' of me dating someone is no smoking..sick

1. Intelligence... proven! by degree, training, job experience or intelligent conversation.

2. A life! Meaning a job, friends, and hobbies (other than computer/internet/game system related)

3. HONESTY HONESTY HONESTY.. this includes leaving out information that might make you look bad.

4. Open minded. I have friends from all over the world and from every different type of religion and sexual orientation.

5. Confidence, but not c*cky! You have to be secure with yourself in order to be in a healthy relationship. Someone that once I get going in my career will be able to walk into a formal party with their head held high and make conversation with strangers.

6. Secure. Meaning that you will be secure with any of the following: I may make more money than you. I may have a more powerful career than you. I may have close male friends. I may work many hours.

7. Family Orientated and Eglitarian. You must be willing to raise a family and have equal responsibility for family duties and home duties.

8. Communication. You must be willing to communicate. So, to talk out problems and not walk away from them. And you must be understanding that the way that I understand is to ask questions and continue to ask questions until I understand.

1. She must be able to carry on an intelligent convorsation.
2. She must be a warm person
3. Open minded - I don't tolerate bigots of any sort.
4. Adventurous - Not every day crazy just willing to be open to trying new things.
5. Must have a mind of her own, if 90% of my questions are answered with "I-dunno" it won't last.
6. She must love me for who i am but help me always strive to be a better person and vice-versa.

Its nice that you the guys want to answer to my wants... but it would be nice if everyone posted what they were looking for!


OK, since apparently I'm implicated in this whole concept somehow....

1. Intelligence -- I've spent most of my life in relationships with women who would have a hard time identifying the front end of a horse. The best gf I ever had was smarter than I am (although she still disputes this).

2. Creative -- I admire people who can draw or write or play an instrument or sing or paint or take pictures or whatever. I have a strong creative drive and tend to get along with others who share this.

3. Communication -- The essence of any good relationship, any good interaction. In my experience, good communicators are practically extinct -- assuming they ever really existed in the first place.

4. "Outside-the-box" -- I am never going to be conventional. If you want the Ward Cleaver type, you're in the wrong yard.

5. No drugs, no alcohol. Lost too many people to those already. They will not be a part of my life.

6. No kids. I take a lot of flak over this one, but the reality is that I would not make a good parent (or parental substitute) and I do not want to be involved with someone who is one. It's a preference, plain and simple. A mandatory preference. It doesn't mean I think you're a bad person, it just means that your priorities are, of necessity, going to be radically different from mine.

7. No preaching. I don't mind being involved with people who hold other religious views. We can talk about that as much as you want. But I am not here to be "converted" or to be condemned to your version of hell simply because I WON'T be converted.

8. Anything political bores me to tears. I'm an anarchist. I don't believe any flawed, fallible human being has any business being given sanctioned authority over other flawed, fallible human beings. If you do, that's fine. I just don't want to hear about it.

9. I can't cook without starting a nine-alarm fire or causing radiation poisoning in a twelve-mile radius. I don't expect you to cook. If you want to, fine. If not, there's Arby's or the microwave. I'm not picky. If it involves beef and/or peanut butter, I'll be fine.

10. If you want to say something, say it. I won't try to pull it out of you. I will ALWAYS be willing to listen but I will not hound it out of you.

11. I don't care if you make more money than me, came from a better family, in a better house, in a better state, or whatever. It's just stuff. If I like you, it's because of you, not because of stuff.

Here's my top 10 list

Wrote down in 5 minutes so don't hold me to it. Disclaimer-may be revised at any time.

1. FUNNY - everything is easier when you can laugh together

2. OPTIMISTIC - it's too draining to be around negativity

3. INTELLIGENT - you don't have to belong to Mensa, but you can't be the dullest tool in the shed

4. INDEPENDENT - have your own life outside of me

5. CREATIVE - through music, writing, art, building things, you get the idea

6. NO ADDICTIONS - they always come first before anything else

7. PASSIONATE & INTENSE- hopefully about me

8. NOT BORING - you can be quirky and eccentric- I might draw the line at strange

9. ADVENTUROUS - be willing to try new things. I don't like the word can't .

10. LOVE TO TRAVEL - life has so much to offer and I want us to explore it together
