Compatability

[rgraham666]

Finally got around to starting this thread.

I mentioned in another thread that I regarded a woman's opinion towards a particular movie as a positive indicator that we're likely to get along.

So, what about a person would make you think they're compatible with you?

I'll start.

The ability to appreciate and create good porn is something I regard as a good indicator.

Threadjack away.

When I met my husband, we were finishing each others jokes within the first couple of hours. I think a good sense of humour is a good sign of whether someone would be compatible with me. A relationship without easy laughter is not something I'd ever desire.

That's a good one, humor is important.

 

[impressive]

Depends of what I want to do with said person. My compatability quotient for a lunch date is far less stringent than it would be for a roommate ... or a soul mate.

 

[ABSTRUSE]

In general, someone who has a sense of humor is a plus. Narcissists(sp) don't cut it with me. They must also at least make an attempt at current affairs. I like semi-intelligent conversation...with the possibility of silliness.
As far as a more intimate compatibility...that one is still pending. I'm a brooder and it's to be understood I get quiet at times. Overlook my human flaws and there's a chance.

 

[carsonshepherd]

sense of humor is probably the biggest one. i have an odd one and people who "get me" are highly appreciated...

kindness helps, too. someone who's filled with rage and negativity crushes me after awhile.

also, to get along with me, you pretty much have to be able to put up with three enormous dogs.

 

[Kassiana]

Okay, I have to ask.

Which movie?

If they are breathin and it's air... then we may be compatable...

This could take redneck one liners to a whole new level....

A love of books and the ability to read (anything and everything from Chaucer and Shakespeare to a cereal packet).

Someone that understands that just because I need my freedom, it doesn't mean I won't come back, or that I won't be faithful in the meantime.

Men like that are few and far between.

 

[Lavared]

The first hurdle for me is gentleness with children, respect for old people.

If they don't have those they're subhuman and I would never want to be near them.

Beyond that, I am most compatible with people who can laugh at themselves. I don't trust the ones who can't.

Nightmare Before Christmas So much in that, twisted, funny, sweet and romantic all at the same time. Loved it.

Don't be too sure that intelligence helps.

I was a member of Mensa for a couple of years. They covered the whole gamut of human behaviour. There were even a few trolls along the line of amicus.

Men like that are few and far between.

So are women who will come back and be faithful in the meantime...

No disrespect toward anyone here, but it's true. Those women are every bit as rare, if not more so.

I need someone honest, who doesn't want me to be someone other than me, and who doesn't think that her responsibilities are sleeping with me and collecting my paycheck/gifts/and unearned respect (earning my respect is easy with the aforementioned honesty).

Too bad I'm not a dame. That's the best movie evar.

 

[Liar]

The best indicator of compatibility for me is if the person in question doesn't get unconfortable and thinks there's something wrong if I shut up for five minutes.

 

[rgraham666]

Sigh.

All the people I know I'd be compatible with are guys, lesbian or taken. I don't find the first choice attractive, the second doesn't find me attractive and I don't interfere in anyway with the last.

Why couldn't I have been born a bisexual psychopath? Life would have been so much easier.

I disagree. What makes women like that more rare, QC? Just the fact that we're women? That does, after all, seem to be what you're implying.

I've never felt that I've "owned" a man. I have, however, been on the other end of that quite a few times.

I didn't imply that, and after rereading my post, I don't feel that it "seems" implied. I merely stated a truth. I specified that it's difficult to find a woman with those qualities. I didn't say it wasn't true of men as well. My statement didn't imply negativity toward women any more than your did about men. I merely pointed out that there's a balance.

Nope, that's not what you said.

(the bold is mine)

So you said that women like that are most likely more rare than men like that. Why?

Forgive me if I seem argumentative, but I've detected a whiff of amicus-style misogyny in some of your recent posts.

 

[Quiet_Cool]

Nope, that's not what you said.



(the bold is mine)

So you said that women like that are most likely more rare than men like that. Why?

A simple statement based on my own experience. In my experience, as many, if not more, women are untrustworthy in terms of being faithful. I made no statement about women as a whole, and I said nothing about whether or not men have similar or worse issues. Men cheat as well, and many are possessive.

Take my words as you want; I won't worry about it.

eh, if you don't mind being seen as a someone who feels superior and bitter towards women, why the hell should I worry about it either?

 

[sophia jane]

In general- intelligence and a sense of humor.

Someone who not only can put up with my quirks, but appreciate them. And for dating-someone who can enjoy my sexuality without getting too serious on me.

Wow.

You've been burned pretty hard, haven't you? My sympathies.

It's a pity it has altered your view of half the world's population.
