Poll: What do you look for in a partner?

[AnotherAvatar]

My ideal guy would be a failing rock star in his 30s, who spends most of the day sulking around the house topless with long unwashed hair and Levi jeans. He will have a part time job and spend the weekends with his rocker friends touring pubs to try to make it big time. He spends every spare penny he has on getting more tattoos to express his pain, chain smoking, and random romantic gestures. He wrote a song named after me and after concerts walks home hand in hand with his rocker friends slurring drunkenly and giggling, makes it to the house, throws up on the door step then collapses on the sofa.

90s guys....sigh....

Hey, I'm a 90's guy and I rese- -Vomits Uncontrollably-

Want to move in?

You can play the guitar in your underwear on ny couch. When I yell at you to get a real job you can also lock yourself in the bathroom screaming "nobody understands me, you don't get my pain".

Sigh, they don't make men like that anymore....

I would do this, but I'm in school so I haven't had anyone yell at me to get a real job in a while. Guess what: Musicians never change.

Can someone clarify what is appealing about 'mystery'? If I were to ask my partner questions only to get vague and cryptic responses I would be rather annoyed. Unless by 'mystery' you mean 'doesn't describe the exact shape and texture of their turds to me', which I would be quite grateful for, particularly after living with my family.

Well, some people (like myself) just find it attractive.

I like women with a mysterious vibe.

Maybe I've been hanging around with the Dark Brotherhood too much.

Yes, but what is a mysterious vibe? What makes someone mysterious? How might one go about appearing as such?

Y'know, usually loners, keep to themselves, were hoods, go about killing dragons for some mysterious purpose............

Yeah, I don't think my ideal partner will come anytime soon.

Other. I look for intelligence, emotional stability, and average looks.

Your poll options.... why???

Two X chromosomes

[wintercoat]

I require two things in a potential partner: physical attractiveness and mental attractiveness, both to be judged on a case-by-case basis. However, regardless of attractiveness, I would also require a break from the "it's a mans job to initiate the relationship" mentality, because I've got about as much spine when it comes to talking to the opposite sex as a jellyfish. I've only been in one relationship, and she basically forced me to be the one to initiate it. I was physically ill from the stress, even knowing that she'd say yes. I've never been able to do it again. Feeling like you're going to throw up and pass out are rather good deterrents.

 

[JustShyofGenius]

Intelligence.

 

[Artemicion]

I look for intelligence above all else, rounded out with an understanding of how the world works and emotional stability. Though looks are important to me too.

I'm finicky.

 

[Arakasi]

Intelligence takes the cake.
That really should have been in the poll...

 

[Reaper195]

Physically attractive (But that's lower on my list of important things), open minded, sexually open minded, up-front and confident, but not so much as to be a ***** about it, and charge taking. I really don't get the shy girl obsession a large amount of gamers seem to like (Hence why I thought Tali could fuck off, and most of the relationships in Mass Effect games pissed me off).

 

[bobmus]

The personality is the key, and frankly I don't get why it's not part of the poll.
Sure, I look for them to be attractive as well, but if I'm getting into a relationship with them I've got to like them outside of the bedroom.

 

[sketch_zeppelin]

someone i'm comfortable with that doesn't mind my quirks and shares some of my intrests...not extreamly hard to meet standards

 

[Vault101]

actullly Ive changed my mind...

I look for....A MAN!

 

[Vault101]

Physically attractive (But that's lower on my list of important things), open minded, sexually open minded, up-front and confident, but not so much as to be a ***** about it, and charge taking.

i dotn think tali is "shy" more "cute" I supose is her attraction..Im guessing anyway

Liara sort of fits that description better, somone once said to me she felt too "constructed" to apeal to the demographic, which I would tend to agree

however I think she does develop as a charachter from ME1

 

[Mikeyfell]

Brilliant, sexy, goddamn lunatics if my dating history informs choice.

1)Good friend
2)Good lover
3)Good mother

Pick 2, Seriously because if you pick number 1 or number 3 you'll regret it.

 

[staika]

1: At least decent looks, bonus points if she's cute too. I really have low standards for looks since I value other things more.
2: She finds me funny and will inflate my already huge ego from time to time. Inflating my ego is the quickest way to my heart
3: She's at least somewhat smart.

Those are the biggest things for me, she can earn some bonus points if she likes similar music to me etc etc. I have yet to meet my perfect girl, or any girl for that matter, but I am hopeful that there is a girl for me out there somewhere.

 

[Mikeyfell]

As a jellyfish who disproves of this thread I am going to sting you.

I didn't become a Jellyfish lightly though, I actually tried to have a significant other on 4 separate occasions. All of which lasted less than a day and ended in some form name calling. Except the first one which ended with the line "ha ha ha, oh. You weren't joking? I'm going to go then."

I think it's because I'm friends with a lot of women, so seeing how "Fake", so called "Girlfriends" are is just really glaring to me. and I'd just rather not put up with the nonsense.

 

[Blondefool]

I look for similar tastes and intelligence. It means much more to me to be able to chat to my partner about something I like than how she looks. Intelligence is also important but not vital.

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

Double X chromosomes are a good place to start.

Just 46 of them, being the next requirement.

Damn guys, you've got some high standards there.

I feel rather ambivalent towards relationships of any kind. Though being level-headed and being approachable would be a good start for me.
