In a thread started like this you want me to answer THAT?
1) I think you'd look quite fetching in feathers, PowerOfCanOpener, and
2) The answer is surely different for everybody.
3) I don't think "ideal" is anything but a target.
Yeah, yeah, I know, three. I'm like that. So sue me.
Besides, three is felicitous.
Right.
In my case, an ideal mate is a strong-willed, self-confident, communicative, and intelligent female, with an appreciation for music, nature, and diversity. I need somebody who can - and does - stand up to me when they disagree, else I will never learn anything from them.
Balance is necessary to an ongoing relationship, if there is too much power in one person then the give-and-take which I thrive on will not be present. I am sure there are those who prefer to be worshipped and looked up to, I would prefer to be inspired, supported, and told when I am being an idiot or an ass.
Ideally, further:
my mate should be playful, sexual, and social, interested in listening to children, capable of enduring my most opinionated friends and peers, and it wouldn't hurt if she had a flair in the kitchen and/or with interior design, where my talents are adequate but lackluster.
Well, I've avoided this in other threads so by way of procrastinating, first two notes:PowerOfOne said:Now you have opened your can of worms, LukkyKnight.What is your well defined idea of the ideal mate? And btw, I hate being called a chick. I only wear feathers for special occasions.
