mightycpa Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I TOTALLY agree with this! I'm a super chill person. Takeout and Netflix with my SO is a good night to me. Like you said most guys in their 20s aren't into that. Booo. OMG. Youth IS wasted on the young. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
IronZ Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 TigerLilly, Great list. and I'm happy you've found your prince charming seemingly. I'm such a homebody as well, and I wish I could find a guy who is the same way... in your mid 20s its kind of hard to find men who want to sit around on Fri and Sat nights, which sucks! I'd rather be home with my significant other than party. lol it's a shame you don't live closer to me. I'd totally take you up on that Friday/Saturday night sitting around and watching TV action 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Andy_K Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 (edited) Okay, I'm adjusting my list to reflect why I haven't found what I'm looking for yet: Group 1 1) attractive 2) high sex drive Group 2 3) genuinely really into me Group 3 4) into sport or exercise 5) open heart & mind 6) likes kids and animals 7) has some sort of geeky side - movies, video/board games, anything like that 8) good tempered 9) good communicator 10) easygoing I can find plenty of girls who completely cover at least two of the three groups above. Never all three. And despite the third group being the longest, it is the easiest to find. Most people are pretty decent. Edited October 17, 2014 by Andy_K 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If the takeout happens to be pizza, that's pretty much my ideal evening Although an evening in with drinks and video/board games is pretty close second. Because I'm a bit of a geek! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Physical, not talking just sex, but things like PDA, kissing, cuddling etc. 8. Artsy. I am not artsy at all, but like one of us to be where she takes me through her mindset.

leavesonautumn Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Not in order because I would over think it if I did: 1. Geeky/nerdy in some capacity 2. Intelligence 3. Loyalty 4. Sense of humor 5. Feels comfortable being silly and spontaneous 6. Mutual attraction/sex drive 7. Chemistry but more importantly, compatibility 8. Accepts and loves me for who I am 9. Someone who would rather stay in then party but would feel comfortable in a pub/bar on occasion 10. Someone who loves affection, cuddling, spooning, gazing into each other's eyes. All the romance please. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Doglover0261 Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 No particular order: 1. Foodie 2. Love a lot of affections, cuddling, PDA, romantic at heart 3.

Underthebodhitree Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Bumping this because I think it's a really good idea. Minimum requirements: must have fully functioning penis. Those with substance abuse issues, or a history of any type of abuse need not apply. Honesty, ability to communicate, and sense of humor are a must. Must be a responsible, functioning adult who has his own, full life before starting a relationship with me (are you getting a sense of what my marriage was like? Lol). Other desired qualities include: Wants me, but doesn't NEED me Keeps promises; dependable Kind heart Realizes that his time is the best thing he can give me Attractive Sexually compatible Respectful, and not just of me Well mannered, polite Fun Sweet "Man's man" type Supportive of me, but also challenges me to be a better person Confident 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Shepp Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Okay, I can't do this in order haha so... 1) Great sense of humour - makes me laugh, and thinks I'm funny! 2) I trust her - she's loyal and honest 3) Outdoorsy/Sporty 4) Down to earth - none of this materialistic or high maintenance lark nor takes herself too seriously 5) Feisty/Confident - a straight shooter, gives as good as she gets. 6) Brave - When/If she needs to be, not afraid to go against the grain! Can grit her teeth when the going gets tough! Cool under pressure! 7) Hard worker/Determined 8) A good heart 9) likes kids and animals 10)Attractive - that's a given but its I do believe that the other qualities can influence how attractive you perceive someone to be but looks matter and im a sucker for some killer eyes! AND likes me for me - that's key! Link to post Share on other sites
littleblackheart Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 The only advice my mother ever gave me: look at a man's relationship with his mother - if he treats her with love, consideration and respect, this is how he'll treat you. Looking at my previous relationships, she may have a point. This would probably be my only requirement, if ever I was to look for a partner (that and physical attraction, of course).

MissBee Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Honestly, I really dislike threads like this. Simply because I pretty much meet every point on that list but I can never even get a date. Which means that there are a few points that are on a second hidden list that I don't meet. How can you meet every point on the OP's list when she didn't even say what her favorite music was, didn't explain what her values are even, so how can you know you fit them??? In any event, are you trying to date the OP? If not then how can you generalize her list to the list of women you've tried to date? That's silly. It's not like you've tried to date the OP and she turned you down so you can't just grab her list and superimpose it on other women when their list may be completely different. I'm not even sure how that is logical. Anyway, what I will say is the "hidden list" is: someone you feel good with and whom you simply want more of. Also known as chemistry! A man may on paper fit your list but you simply feel nothing for him or see him as a friend. That's the one thing you can't control. If you match on paper the chances are higher that you might have chemistry but there isn't a guarantee. So even my own list, it's what I need in a partner for a committed relationship, but it doesn't guarantee that I will want to be with a man who seems to fit it, as there are just some intangible qualities essential to gelling a relationship: how that person makes you feel and how you actually interact, which the list cannot guarantee and only interacting with the person can make or break it.
