Describe your perfect mate
*sighs, adjusts wings, checks tips of arrows*
All right, guys, I've been really busy lately, so I apologize if I haven't gotten your True Loves™ to you on time, but I'm back on schedule now... What'll you all have? *gets out Blackberry, begins to write* (Should OP confuse you, see title for details. )

She would make me laugh - often. She would think of me at unexpected times - thus making me feel important. She enjoy sex nearly as much as I do (or more.) She would be intelligent. She need not be "hot" but I will need to find her attractive. She would understand that even though I care about her, that doesn't mean I can read her mind or always know what to say or do.
She would have big breasts and red hair. (OK, those two are optional. )

My dream woman?
Intelligent. She would have intelligence, and not be ashamed of it. Plusses for being comfortable with maths, science, technology, computers, etc. Not that she has to make them the centre of her life or anything, just not be afraid of them. Creative. She would have her own voice, do her own art, have her own style. Independent. She would not be *blindly* following someone else's line. This includes everything from religion to fashion. Conscious chioce is good. Empathetic and socially skilled. You know, all that stuff I have difficulty with. Single. At my age, that's an important qualifier. ![]() Non-smoker. Almost the only non-negotiable thing. If you're a woman, smoking is the quickest way to cause me to lose interest in you. Multilingual. A nice extra. Knowing or being interested in Esperanto would be even nicer. Also: a sense of humour, no whack-job craziness, etc. You know. After this, the usual list of desired physical attributes seems lame. They are still important, but I have learned that I can meet someone who would seem to be ideal, and there's no 'click', and sometimes the most unixpected person can Be Of Great Interest. Still, I'll add that I like busty curvy women with a few extra kilos... although that is far from exclusive.

I have my perfect mate, so I'll just describe him
.Caring and attentive to others. Smart and willing to learn new things. Stands up for what he believes in. Hopelessly romantic. Incredibly sexy/attractive (in my eyes anyway). Doesn't shave off all his chest hair and stuff. Nice hair. Nice hair is a must. Animal lover, also a lover of nature and the outdoors. Friendly, outgoing, and easy to get along with. Same (or at least not radically different) views on religion, and spirituality. Embraces who I am and lets me be my own person. |

male - 45-52, at least 5'11", well proportioned, healthy but not overly atheletic. Financially solvent, loves his parents but (if they're still living) does not live with them. Single prefered, widowed okay, divorce acceptable if not recent. If he has kids, they're grown and living on their own. Jewish preferred, other okay (except devout Catholic - we'd have too many roadblocks to stumble across) Resides in NYC metro area. He has a wide range of interests and is not fanatical about any one of them. He knows how to listen, but is not overly emotional. He can control his anger. He is romantic but not possessive. He is sexual but not exclusively so. (on some dating sites, the men I've been "matched" with have a tendancy to put sex as a first priority. It's important in a relationship, yes. But other things are more important) Actually - if you could invent a fast acting clone blender, I'd like to take bits of most of the guys I know and create my ideal from that.

Local. Independent. No shorter than 5'6, no taller than 7'0 (I'm 5'3). No younger than 33, no older than 45. Either divorced, widowed, or never married -- no separated men or open relationships, please. Kids are optional, but I'm not sure if I want my own so I probably wouldn't be a good match for someone who is looking to procreate his own baseball team. Should at least like animals, and be willing to live with a dog someday. Eclectic tastes in music, movies, books. Varied interests. Able/willing to both learn and teach (there are some things in life he'll know more about, and some things I'll know more about). Not intimidated by a woman with a stereotypically male sex drive (stock up on the little blue pills if you must
). Outgoing and confident, but not arrogant or pretentious. Must spell reasonably well, and use decent grammar. Must appreciate culture and love music, and enjoy venues as varied as the Kennedy Center, the Birchmere, the 9:30 Club, and local bars with bands we've never heard of before. Nonsmoker, likes beer, doesn't care that I'm not into wine. Active, but with an appreciation for balance: neither rock-climbing nor couch surfing every weekend, but maybe hiking/camping one weekend followed by a James Bond marathon the next. Will let me drive about half of the time. Willing to be physically uncomfortable in order to gain something else (for example, right now I'm freezing my ass off sitting outside by a lake in NY state, because the sunset is amazing). Believes me when I say that I'm very straightforward and without guile, and won't constantly second-guess me. That shit pisses me off.I guess he should be willing to read long, rambling messages, too. ![]() This is one time when I wish we could edit our posts, because I know that the moment I click "submit" I'm going to think of something terribly important that I forgot to mention! ![]() One last thing: Sunspace needs to seriously consider moving just a little bit southeast.

Female, educated, moderately intelligent, 30ish, ready to start a family. Of a gentle disposition and pleasant personality. Someone who doesn't need to be made to laugh - especially as I've next to no sense of humour. Looks are actually secondary as long as all the right bits are in the right places and in the right proportions. A beautiful woman often stops being attractive when she opens her mouth; an attractive woman becomes beautiful when she smiles.

Female, 18-20, geeky intelligence, well-read, a good memory for random useless trivia, witty in writing and in speaking, a good sense of humour (preferably finding me funny, as i'd think they were),reasonably competitive, won't be supportive for the sake of being supportive, into computer games and comics (or at least thinks they aren't just for kids), some sort of hobby-small scale obsession, randomness - the sort of person who might be distracted by a shiny object, or a odd light on the wall. Curvy. Green eyes, dark/black hair. around 5'6''-5'10'' or so. Likes (or at least tolerates) and ice hockey playing boyfriend.

A self-supporting non-drinker who couldn't identify one NFL coach if it was the Million Dollar question and he was out of lifelines, but who can name every single actress to ever play the role of Bertha in Pippin on Broadway and can recite from memory most of the episodes of Black Adder. At the same time he loves cooking as much as I don't, isn't happy unless he balances my check book and handles my money for me (and does it well), loves my dog as much as I do, isn't embarassed to say or hear "I love you" when it's relevant and true, reads textbooks in history and literature just for fun, can make me laugh and laughs at my jokes and, of course, generally thinks I'm a smaller case 'g' god who walks among men (but makes me exercise). A really cute bubble butt and dimpled cheeks (either ones) are a plus. Orphans preferred.

Well, she's about 5'4"---perfect handfuls and hips an' ass that say, "Ohhh...Mama!" She's the most intelligent woman within my multi-state area (truly tested) and has the most erotic and intriguing mind of any woman that I have ever met. She is a ferocious mother, brilliant artist, and the most morally sound person I have ever met. She makes my life worth living.
I love her. |

Mine is sleeping peacefully in the next room.
He's reasonable, he's handsome, he's intelligent, he listens, he adores spending time with me, he's a family man, he's good to our cats, and most importantly - he loves me above all else, but he doesn't put me on a pedestal - he loves me for exactly who I am, goofy, silly, human habits and all. And I love him for the same reasons. Awwww. So, thanks, Kytheria! I'm enjoying my gift from the goddess of love! I will play It's Raining Men in your honour. |

Funny, kind, not insanely into sports. Must appreciate my sense of humor (which can be pretty sick at times). Preferably aged 30-45, 5' 8" or taller. Build, hair, and eye color aren't an issue. Must read. Must like children (I have one and it would actually be great if he had one or two already). Eclectic taste in movies would be a plus, since "blockbuster" movies starring Will Smith suck my asshole inside out. And I agree with Sampiro, orphans (or clones who were raised for spare parts and escaped the facility or something of that nature) would be super awesome. It would be nice if he thoroughly, completely, and enthusiastically adored copulation in various forms.
Oh, and if you think you might dig me, rest assured that I speak much better (and more often) than I compose posts on a message board. |

Other than that, I pretty much have the rest of that covered. Would you like to share an arrow? Hmmm. As to what I'd like.... no psycho loved ones, no desire to have kids beyond a couple of pets, loves goofy activities and is cute to me. Age/religion/race doesn't matter, as long as you're not talking a devout fundamentalist. Guess that's about it, but I'm usually willing to give anyone the benefit of the doubt, despite any differences. After all, it is the journey that counts! |

I'm a 21 year old female looking for a male my age. I would like him to be intelligent, well-read, and a good sense of humor - he would need to both make me laugh and laugh at my jokes.
My Christianity is very important to me, so he would definitely need to be Christian. He would need to like animals- ideally he would already have a dog of some sort. He should be interested enough in culture that he would go to art museums and plays with me. Also, he would need to love a wide variety of movies and music, so we could watch obscure movies and listen to semi-obscure bands together. Ideally, he would also be creatively inclined- whether musically or artistically or however. I would like it if he was between 5'3" and 5'10", brown hair, blue or green eyes, and with a somewhat athletic physique- though the physical description is negotiable. Also, I would really like him to be a Texan or a southern boy, but it’s not a requirement. Well that was fun thinking about. Although I’m definitely not gonna be able to focus on my engineering homework now. |

Hmm, never really thought I had a "perfect" mate, many of my past girlfriends have been very different, but I suppose I do have my preferences.
Height and weight are not major factors, but she should be about 5'4 or taller and be physically proportionate. An athletic build is ideal. Dark hair is preferable, as is it being thick and shoulder length or longer. Eye color is unimportant so long as I'm allowed to look into them often and gushingly compliment them. Piercings, tattoos and other bodily modifications are fine, except superficial plastic surgery. That's a deal breaker. She must be happy with who she is and not fear naturally aging or seek social approval at every turn. Age range is mid-20's to mid-30's. No children would be by far preferable, but it isn't a deal breaker. Open to possibly having a child in the future but not set on it. Drinking and smoking is fine in moderation. Has to enjoy quiet nights in, but not want to be a complete homebody. Social independence is a must. I need probably more than an average amount of alone time and am more than willing to give the same. Doesn't mean I don't want intimacy, I am very passionate and loving... I just need some me time and have no problems with her having her girls nights out or her own alone time. Mental independence is a must as well. Communication is the key to any relationship, and it just won't happen if you don't have your own thoughts. Jealous ex-boyfriends and emotional baggage that won't fit into the overhead compartment are a big no-no. Sense of humor is a must. I have a dark sense of humor, but can make just about anyone laugh. I find humor in almost anything and use it as a means of coping with stress. Appreciating that is required, having the same philosophy is a bonus. Individual personal style is preferable, but the specifics are not. Intelligence is a must. Unless I'm forgetting anything, which I probably am, that is my dream girl in a nutshell. To summarize: smart, funny, individualistic and independent. The rest is pretty much negotiable. |

Okay, I'll play.
Appearance isn't overly important, but since we're describing hypothetical perfection here: either a 6' tall green-eyed Far East Asian; OR the archtypical Irish redhead with milk skin and freckles, and not just a few freckles, either--the kind of freckles that congregate up like the cars on the 405 at 9am. Aside from that, body shape and so forth isn't terribly important; slender is good, curves are better as long as everything is proportionate, and I'd rather a small B cup than a large C but I'll only start discriminating around DD. Physically active in the outdoorsy sense, intellectual curious, quotes Blake, reads Woodhouse, isn't afraid of a few differential equations, and doesn't roll eyes if I start talking about cryptology or astrodynamics but instead tactfully reminds me that I'm being pedantic. Doesn't smoke, enjoys her wine and liquor--especially pinot and sangiovase and perhaps Irish whiskey or bourbon--but in moderation. Is enough of a foodie to be willing to try new stuff, especially if I make it. Likes seeing the kind of movies that only open in a handful of theatres and participates in my regular mocking of Roger Ebert. Has her own interests but encourages me to share in them if I like, prefers spontanteous touring to elaborate iteneraries and guided tours, and doesn't mind being a photographic subject once in a while. Is just as happy to stay in and read or work on a jigsaw puzzle as to hit the town, or better yet, one after the other. Cooking and other "homemaking" skills are entirely optional, but it'd be nice if she has at least basic cleaning skills and temperment--I'm not obsessive about it, but I don't want to spend my time cleaning someone else's messes any more than they do mine. Bonus points if she changes her own oil; double bonus if she can diagnose my squeaky brake problem. That's the dream. I'd be satisfied at this point for a date that just wouldn't stand me up and not return a bloody phone call. Stranger |
