Just your #1 top pick
What is the most important quality in a partner? Is it a great sexual partner? Is it someone who can bring home a nice paycheck? Or is it something else?
Moral support and encouragement. Someone who is there when I wake up in the morning, drinking coffee together and planning the next adventure with me, not telling me what great things they are going to do, what do I have planned, etc. I just want to be part of the partnership.
Compatibility, getting along.... Too simplistic?
Connection. Not necessary chemistry, but that feeling that you could talk to this person for hours about anything, where nothing feels forced or rushed.
Yes. Such a great answer, ty!
I stay away from gold diggers, that’s my #1 pet peve.
Also women that high maintenance.
To much makeup is a turn off.
Just an average bod is good with me no need to be a super model.
Chemistry is also important to me.
If finding thease traits are hard to find thease days.
Connection...every relationship from a pet to a lover. Connection!
Radical honesty. Which requires a great deal of self awareness. If you have a propensity for fooling yourself, you will inadvertently be dishonest with others. "The first rule is do not fool yourself. And you're the easiest person to fool" - Richard Feynman
Intelligence and humor (yes it’s two things, but I find intelligence and humor go hand-in-hand)
Intelligence and humor go hand in hand. You can't really have one without the other
Compatibility is the one word. For me that implies very smart, independent thinker, mutual chemistry, and has their shit together.
Spice and shared companionship. Care to move to Ohio?
Love. First and foremost! I miss being in love... that thrill you get when they're calling or on their way home. Now that I'm over 60, my mother advises me to be satisfied with just "companion". Unfortunately I haven't even managed to find that lately! But what I really want is that mutual "I just want to be with you" feeling.
honesty.. with honesty you can build trust. without trust you have nothing
