I read through this thread and it dawned on me that people are so particular in what they want in a partner that they may miss out on someone who is really great.

Hmm, just a thought.

That's why it's better to list what you don't want in a partner... everything else is game!

But I thought this thread was about the preference... the diamond that shines above all other precious gems.

They must be willing to participate in Zelda roleplay... I have to be able to swing my Master Sword around.

In that case, I prefer over everything that the person is able to have a conversation. I hate small talk. I hate to sit there and struggle to fill in the silence. I hate it when it feels like talking with someone is work. I love it when time just slips away, because the conversation was so easy, yet rich. I love it when you look at the clock and say, "Ok, I have to go, but five more minutes just so we can finish the conversation..." and then next time you look it has been 45 minutes that felt like five. A person with conversation is rich. I could do without a lot of things, but I can't live in silence. I know.

Goodness. You know, charity, compassion, understanding, patience, affection. I nearly married a Mormon I had almost nothing in common with because of those qualities.

The most important thing is they want you back.
One sided relationships are a bugger.

Humor humor humor.

There are so many types of people out there, you're not going to stick to your list when you meet someone you have real chemistry with, you won't even remember your list.

I really only need the guy to see me as an equal. It's the same requirement for everyone I keep in my life, and I return the favour. I like guys who are spontaneous and adventurous, funny, thoughtful, not clingy ... intelligence is not a big deal, but has to be mature. I can't deal with people who doesn't understand the value of money or who doesn't know how to take care of themselves (at my age I still run into a lot of those). But that's just what I tend to go for, not requirements.

willingness to have sex.

Beer producing mammary glands would overcome any other perceived imperfections.
