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?
Spice and shared companionship. Care to move to Ohio?
Compatibility is the one word. For me that implies very smart, independent thinker, mutual chemistry, and has their shit together.
Companionship, intimacy, fellowship, friendship, company, interesting conversation.....and.....sex
Sex is great, a fat paycheck would be lovely but for me it is someone I feel totally relaxed with and whom I love little more each day.
Calmness and reason. The time I was with my son's mother taught me that I value being right more than supporting my partner unconditionally. Therefore, I need someone who can calmly discuss situations and bases their ideas and actions on evidence.
Emotional maturity - which is an umbrella statement that encompasses other character traits of being...
Trust and respect. There is nothing worse than a fraud. Everything else is totally inconsequential.
Intelligence and humor (yes itβs 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
Physical attraction, good communication, common interests.
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
Connection...every relationship from a pet to a lover. Connection!
Used to be big tits, but now its no drama and a shared interest in having a pleasant time.
About how long ago did you ditch the big tits desire/requirement to have great interpersonal romantic relationship?
@BlueWave I admit to being just humorous here although I did put way too much importance on the physical side in my youth. Truthfully intelligent conversation is more of a turn on nowadays. I have been single all but 6 years of my adult life, I have lived a wonderful and interesting life. I am looking for no one but would enjoy a good, intelligent companion.
Authenticity - more than simple honesty, it is a willingness to let someone in, be vulnerable and know that Child in all of us. I once heard it put very well. βIf you share with me what you hate about yourself, I will Love it for you.β
I stay away from gold diggers, thatβs 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.
