What do you look for in a mate?

[Kevin T]

Or maybe, more specifically, what do you look for in a soul mate? What type of qualities, characteristics, and so on, appeal to you the most in someone of the opposite sex?

[truckerbabe]

My bf has all the qualities that I was looking for. Someone who is funny, caring, beautiful inside and out, strong willed and independent. He's a rough and tough man's man with a soft side that only I get to see.

[shes2smart]

I've always been a sucker for a guy who can make me think & trade witty, smart-*** remarks with me.

 

If he can make me laugh on top of that, I turn into a little pile of mush.

 

Not surprisingly, my husband is able to do all 3.

[Dako]

Huge Boobs!

 

Really, intelligence, curiosity and goofiness.

Kindness - the most important human quality for it guarantees all the others.

[LiquidCherry]

I'm not much for the whole soul mate idea. My worst relationships were with "soul mates" but I do look for good things.

 

Humour, Intelligence, Compassion, Passion, Tall, and somewhat rough and tumble. Enjoying games and camping is nice too.

[Itsok]

Someone who has a beautiful soul, a heart of gold, a killer smile, is intelligent, witty, and able to laugh at himself.

 

Someone who lets me cry on his shoulder, understands I'm not perfect, wants the best for me, encourages me, plays around with me, is goofy, good-hearted, kind and heck maybe even romantic

[ginger25]

Unpretentious, intelligent, kind, open, romantic, affectionate..the list goes on & on!

[jl301]

Kindness, honesty, intelligent, patience, and compassion

[CarnelianButterfly]

Intelligent, articulate, compassionate, caring, they have to have integrity, be principled, and someone who won?t judge me

[Imaginary]

Someone who is eloquent and has a good sense of humour.... nothing else matters.

[easyguy]

Someone who has goals in life, is down-to-earth, and can accept a person based on the content of their character rather than their looks.

[gunnersfc9]

hmm... a person who's caring, understanding, affectionate, fun, funny, smart but most importantly, genuine in her actions and intentions (i'm kinda old-fashioned )... sadly though, I've never met any girl who possesses all, if not most, of these qualities in them (also think there aren't many of em around anymore)...

[keenan]

let's see. i like guys who are dull-witted, boring, apathetic, mean, sullen, selfish, condescending, belittling, rude, impatient, arrogant, and controlling...and who never, ever make me laugh.

 

oh SHOOT! wrong list. so sorry.

 

just flip those upside-down.

[Spawn]

kindness, honesty, patience, maturity.

 

never bothered abt intelligence and absent mindedness....ha
