Most important things when looking for a partner

[chargersfan]

For me it would be

1)Compatibility-Over everything else, I have to really like to be with them a lot, and at least for me, very few people I can stand to be around for long periods of time.

2)Intelligence-They don't need to be a super genius, but I want to be able to have an intellectual conversation with somebody I'm in a relationship with. The relationship will quickly become dull if it lacks substance.


3)Looks-Some people may say this is superficial to base a relationship on, but come on, who wants to date somebody they can barely stand to look at?


4)How the Present themselves to you and others-I like somebody who is polite to adults and other kids, is a real person, and has a respectable life. (IE somebody who gets good grades, wants to go to college, has goals, and is respected by people around them vs somebody who smokes pot, doesn't care about school, involved in drama and hates there life)


5)Background-I like them to be from a good family, It isn't a deal breaker if they have a messed up family but I like everything about them as a person, but often if they have a bad family and you are in a relationship with them, you will often be dragged into the negativity of the family.



List your top 5 or top whatever you decide is important to you.

I don't have a specific order but intelligence, someone who can just make me happy with their presence (I have someone like that), open mindedness, supportiveness, and funny.

[The Flash]

Not in any specific order:
1. Looks
2. Intelligence
3. Taste in music
4. Trustworthy
5. Well Groomed

[TurboDieselBandit]

I really like guys who are intelligent, motivated to excel, have little to no ego, a healthy looking body and know how to cut loose, be weird and enjoy the moment. I like the guy who will stay up late to text me but also calls it a night before it gets too late because he really wants the best for me. I don't find it very attractive when a guys personality screams "I'm GAY!" but I'm not into super mocho men but rather kind, balanced, relatively skinny (lean) boys who are not very hairy.

[Living For Love]

1 - Trustworthiness;
2 - Compatibility;
3 - Self-care;
4 - Looks;
5 - Background.

[Twilly F. Sniper]

1. Compatibility- I don't do country folks or people in the hood, usually.
2. Funnyness (guys)- I like guys that can make me laugh.
3. Kindness- I like people who aren't bitches, control freaks, or who seem to want to get slapped in the face
4. Someone who really loves you- I don't want my future husband or wife making my relationship all about sex.
5. Looks- At least a decent look of humanity.

As you see I'm not picky.

[charliebaltimore]

Surely if you meet someone, "fall in love" (a cliché, i know) and end up loving them to bits; you wouldn't care about their intelligence or background?

Just my opinion.

I'd go for the same order. This is really good advice, makes a lot of sense.

[Curesofchucky]

There this kid my age that I like but I don't know if his gay or not?

Well the question is...how do I flirt with my same gender without offending them...
So his 15 like me

This is pretty much the same for me, except I think brains and looks tie for most important.

Someone who is caring and trustworthy.

[Brice]

Well, I'm a tiny bit picky about dating people. First, I look to see if they're at least cute. I don't need anything gorgeous or sexy (although that would be nice). Then, I get to know them to look at their personality. They must be intelligent, have a sense of humor, and be kind. They need to have a personality that will make me smile and they have to be someone I could trust as much as a best friend. They need to be serious, but not too serious and they need to have a good reputation. They absolutely cannot be the type who gets depressed over the drop of a hat and starts cutting and stuff. I don't care what people say about me, but I do care what they say about my partner. After that, I just need to make sure I'm comfortable physically with them. That's really all i need in a partner besides the ability to keep me interested.

If you start getting bored..then it's a no. Other things depend on who you are :) Sh*t that was good :)
