Midnight_Madness Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Hi, I've been single for a while now and am curious as to what people think makes a good potential partner? Female and or male opinions welcome, I'm thinking mainly charecteristics and mannerisms but I'm happy to hear about physical appearance also. The things I look for in a (male) potential partner include; An easy going personality, intelligence, a good sense of humour, good hygiene, for them to be outgoing, sociable and polite. Hopefully from this I can learn more about male preferences and general attractive traits ?. Link to post Share on other sites
Weezy1973 Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 The things I look for in a (male) potential partner include; An easy going personality, intelligence, a good sense of humour, good hygiene, for them to be outgoing, sociable and polite. These things that you list might make someone attractive, but have nothing to do with being a good partner. Being a good partner includes traits like honesty, trustworthiness, the ability to compromise, loyalty, and a desire to communicate effectively and respectfully. When someone's main attractors, like the ines you list, have nothing to do with being a good partner, they often struggle with finding quality relationships. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Mysterio Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 For me at age 45 and being single. I am looking for a woman that is warm and kind to me. Above everything else. Looks are great, but go up and down in how you are treated. I have a hard time trusting women as well. I just see that they get a lot passes for bad behavior and guys do a lot for them, that the women would not do for the average guy. So I always go back to how well I am treated, beyond gifts and dinners. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
j_flow Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Trustworthy, warm, honest. Doesn't put themselves in situations where they'll be likely to make a mistake. Has a strong group of friends and family that want them to do the right thing, not what will make them temporarily feel better. Has spiritual beliefs but doesn't shove them down other's throats. Is sexually confident and not ashamed of it. That's what I'd be looking for in anything serious. You're describing what makes a good one-night stand; not what makes a good partner!

So the issue is that our society is not conducive to good women. Link to post Share on other sites
Blanco Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 Empathy. Good communication skills. Someone who views a partnership as a natural give-and-take rather than something to be "won," where a mental score is kept. Nice butt never hurt, either. Link to post Share on other sites
