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....

A women who has good morals and religious beliefs.

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.

edit

Your poll options.... why???

As for my list:
Two X chromosomes
Sane
Likes turtles

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.

Intelligence.

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

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 bitch 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).

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

II2:

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.

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.

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.

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.

DazZ.:
Like minded, who finds my jokes funny and makes me laugh. Someone I can be 100% myself around with them enjoying it and joining in with whatever I'm saying whether it be incredibly dark observations, mind numbingly stupid jokes or all the shades in between.

Obviously it's beauty that's going to attract me to someone, and they do have to be gorgeous to me, but even the hottest person would get fucking annoying to be around when you're doing day to day things together every day if they have no personality to keep you company.

Basically someone who can make me happy whilst shopping, because mundane shit like that is going to happen a lot and it may as well be fun.

Obviously this isn't what I look for in flings, hotness is (almost) all that counts there.

I'm with you. For a relationship I need someone why gets me. Gets all my stupid jokes especially the dark sense of homour I have. Making me laugh is a must, I may be hard to please but if a guy can't make me laugh then I find it hard to be myself. Looks to a certain extent some into it, but I dont mean i want someone how is "amazing looking" just avaerage... I'm an average sort of girl, so i go for average sort of guys. My one requirement is that he likes the sort of things I'm into. The likes of tv shows or games or even some music i like has to be somewhat a shared experience (if that makes any sense what-so-ever) Actually my one Requirement is that a like likes to watch Supernatural, or atleast doesn't criticise it for every monent its on. (I was with a guy before that hated everything i liked and it really made me want to punch him).
Meh, maybe I ask for too much.

Being real would be a good start...

Hurr durr derp

Depends on what kind of mental instability we're talking about here.

A person that is not an ass, has a sense of humour, and is just generally someone that I can talk to and have mutually interesting conversations with? Basically just a person I guess.

honesty, kindness and passion.
also, human being.

yeah, I'd say that's a good place to start from.

Funny, intelligent and atheist. DEFINITELY. ATHEIST.

Someone I can bounce off, who I can trust, who I find attractive, and hopefully they reciprocate.

Just wish I could find someone who meets the criteria...

The important thing isn't what she'll mean to me, but what I'll mean to her.

That's what I'm looking for, someone I can improve. The last I thing I want to do, is to make her life more miserable.

That's why I barely have any social life, let alone a romantic one. I can't really initiate a relationship without feeling I'm demanding too much, or that I'm leaving a negative impact on her.
