characteristics of your ideal mate...

[mistressastra]

All I asked of him was that he be faithful and love me, or if not, that he leave me first and do what he wanted. Couldn't even stick to that.

 

[Tribbin]

*love me as much as I love her or more (if that is possible)
*tell me when I really going too far but love me for it
*polite
*intelligent
*has an easy, beautiful smile
*self confidence
*has her own views about things, and realizes that we don't have to agree on everything
*be able to talk to me for hours without realizing it
*being able to talk to me for hours about something
*a shoulder to cry on
*doesn't need me, but wants me to be around
*she takes my hand when I'm stanging around talking to anyone, just to let me know that she's there
*comes up behind me and gives me a quick hug for no reason at all
*can surprise me even after years of knowing her

That is a few. I still find it hard to pick out characteristics of a person that I want. I think it's easier to pick out actions that show what I want in a person than picking out characteristics.

I tend to like the guys with skin and hair

Picky, picky, picky.

Amelia, you sound like me! I'm not just saying that either. Let's make babies and name them Gerome and Ishornee.

Wait. I gotta quit smoking first, don't I?

Well, you still rock.

 

[Hamletmaschine]

riff, I'd get a pre-nup deal going: if amelia gets to keep that garden troll, I think you should get to keep your plastic pussy.

[Wiggles]

I've learned that there's always someone that will sneak their way into your heart without meeting most of your criteria. But what the hey, lets give it a go.

• Ambition. I need to know that I'm not going to be financially supporting the both of us.
• Humour. I can't stress enough how important laughing is to me.
• Animal friendly. I'm not getting rid of my kitties any time soon.
• Quality. I want someone who's truly good-hearted, through and through.
• Commitment. I'm not afraid of it, are you?
• I prefer someone around my own age. I've found that I don't have much in common with the more experienced folks.
• Durability. Can you handle this?
• I need lot's a lovin'. Can you cuddle for hours on the couch?

Just a short list. And just a reminder, I'm not looking. But if I was, these are the things I would be looking for.

 

[dreamer]

Reminds me of when I filled 4 pages of reasons I loved her. It made her mom cry, unfortunately she still had her own issues.

I guess #1 on my list now would have to be someone capable of loving me as much as I love her. I've had really BAD luck when it comes to that in my life...

 

[Juspar Emvan]

I want to add what Wiggles has said: There are people who get into your heart regardless of what you think you want before you meet them. AND I'm not looking, though I am always open, being single and horney as I am. Now to steal a few things, and add a few of my own . . .

• be a homebody some of the time
• be a party animal when it's appropriate
• be interested/curious about things (just life in general)
• think i'm the most important person in the whole world
• be the most important person in the world to me
• carnal
• warm
• imaginative
• has a passion about something in life
• has her own views about things, and realizes that we don't have to agree on everything
• be able to talk to me for hours without realizing it
• being able to talk to me for hours about something
• a shoulder to cry on
• doesn't need me, but wants me anyway
• she takes my hand when I'm stanging around talking to anyone, just to let me know that she's there
• comes up behind me and gives me a quick hug for no reason at all
• can surprise me even after years of knowing her
• Ambition.
• Commitment.
• I prefer someone around my own age.
• I need lot's a lovin'. Can you cuddle for hours on the couch?
• Has a face that makes me smile, and a smile that makes me glow
• Non-smoker
• Single
• Geographically close

Just a couple of things . . . no one of them is a list breaker, but the more the merrier.

That's the most valuable characteristic.
