  • What do you look for in your significant other?

    I'm mainly talking about personality. We've had plenty of threads discussing bodies. But if you feel the need, go right ahead.

    My friend and I were discussing this the other day. It's something I never thought mugh about before. In the old days it would be anyone who said yes. I had low standards. . But I pretty much described her, and she described me in what she looks for in a man.

    So my answers were:
    pretty (I'm not looking for a model here, just something that doesn't make me puke)
    honest
    a good person
    integrity (kind of goes with the above two)
    fun to be with


    the only things I left out were short, black haired, and wears glasses (that would have been too obvious). But I do like those qualities.

    This may sound sexist, but I don't like smart women. I like my women like her. Technically incompetant and can't find her way around town. . It makes me feel good when I can fix all the things she breaks. . And I also like a woman afraid of bugs, spiders, and snakes. No freaky women for me.

    I like to think I wouldn't be intimidated by women as smart as me, but perhaps I would. If a woman can do everything a man can do, why do they need men?

    Someone who is communicative

    is comfortable with identifying oneself as a gay man without the flamboyancy and therefore enjoying life outside the closet

    is thoughtful and considerate of others

    someone who is professionally successful (not measured in wealth, but whether or not he enjoys doing what he does for a living, and can live a comfortable, independent life)

    someone who tries his best to be health conscious in terms of eating habits (not necessarily any strict diet) and regular physical activity of some sort

    someone who is easy-going and patient with other people

        These are all good traits.

        shared music
        '' sport
        '' humour
        '' holiday types
        brown hair, brown eyes
        slim
        easy going, non-argumentative

              The only common trait amongst the girls I've been interested in... is they aren't interested in me. So that must be what I'm looking for...

                I mean someone who likes the same sort of holidays. So me and my GF, we like getting in the car, driving around England, staying in Inns and going for walks. We don't much like flying abroad and lying on the beach all day.

                And we don't like arguing - so we've had 10+ very happy years together. Such people do exist.

                  I'm sorry to hear that. I should have added that being interested in me is a pre-requisite. I can't be bothered to chase if they're not interested. In fact I don't want to chase at all - I prefer to be chased.

                  Are you saying that you are not interested in the ones that are interested in you? That would be tragic.

                      Really couldn't say. I do get interest from girls, but it's never interest in me.

                        I'm looking for someone who isn't going to break up with me in the next few hours.
