In response to all you people being incredibly superficial... ;)
What non-physical things do you look for in a partner?

I look for:

intellgence: needs to be able to have an intellectual conversation.
funny: WILL need a good sense of humour if she's going out with me
affectionate: definitely. lots of physical contact
passionate: about what it doesn't matter. has to have something in her life she's passionate about
open-minded: needs to be open to experience new things
sexy: in the way she looks after herself and the way she behaves, not necessarily in looks (I shall avoid discussing this further!)
sensitive: because I am
romantic: see "sensitive"
loyal: almost goes without saying.

Any female who has these attributes and wants to visit Florence, email me at.... ;)

We have two threads on looks. It's not a cop-out.

If I see a woman in the street, the ones I tend to be attracted to are curvy, have dark eyes, dark hair, and generally look mediterranean. But that's all they are, women on the street.

However, I don't think I've EVER gone out with a girl that looks like that. My previous partners have varied greatly in terms of height, build, age, and any other physical characteristic you care to name.

See, maybe if I met them on the street I wouldn't give them a second look. But when I get to know them, and find all these characteristics I like, I find myself being drawn to them, regardless of how they look.

On the other hand, some very attractive girls I have gotten to know have these awful personalities and after awhile they don't look good anymore.

Surely I'm not alone in this.

I agree with Sbag. A relationship is built on more than superficial looks. I'll admit when I first saw my partner I was attracted physically to him. In fact I could not take my eyes off him. But after I actually met him I realised he was intelligent, funny, romantic, sensitive etc., etc.,. .......................
But if it wasn't for the physical attraction in the first place I wouldn't have bothered with him, so maybe, Sbag you are not right at all! :confused:

I think it's a balance. I think physical attraction is definitely necessary for a relationship. I'm just not all that convinced it springs from mere looks.

That being said, some people I just can't find myself attracted to.

So I think I'm half-right. :)
 
Well for me the first thing I notice is the personality. He has to be funny and enjoy a good laugh, and not take life too seriously, unless of course in times of crisis.

You need to be able to communicate well together and it's important that you can be comfortable with each other even when there is nothing to say. You can usually tell when a relationship is like that if you don't want to get off the phone or say goodnight when it's time for one of you to go. It shows you really enjoy each other's company.

Affection is very important. There's nothing like having someone who really cares so much for you that they take the time to spoil you a bit with kisses and cuddles and do sweet things for you. It's treatment like this that makes you smile when you think about them, even if they aren't there with you.

I think another important trait is that they don't try to make you something that you are not. They should take you as you are and not try to change you.

I agree with all you wrote about being passionate, sensitive, romantic, loyal and sexy sbagman. Maybe add sensual to that as well.

Looks have never come into it with me. I hope this thread doesn't degenerate into a bitch fight like the others.
 
You've pretty much summed up the ideal personality in a male for me Sbaggy.

They must be intelligent. That's pretty much essential.

I don't think I can say much else, you've really said it all for me!

My list would be the same as sbagman's. Physically speaking, I like brunettes with a curvaeous figure but I often find myself attracted to blondes!?

But personality does shine through in the end when you get to know someone, it has the ability to make people more attractive if they have a nice personality or less attractive if their personality isn't as pleasant.

They would have to be either affectionate or be very tolerate of affectionate people, girls I've gone out with have complained at times in the past that I'm too hands on ;)

Intelligence is a big one with me, I like interesting, in-depth conversations with my gf. Intelligence is a turn-on for me.

Open-minded and good sense of humour, laidback, fun-loving, someone who doesn't mind going out with a partner who spends a lot of time not doing too much ;)
 
All i ask from my partner is that she likes me for who i am and that she dont cheat on me! So far shes done that, so im happy :)
 
I'm pretty lucky, as I've found someone with all I want. Here they are:

Intelligence: Sure, it might be frustrating when they know more than you sometimes, but at least you know you can hold a decent conversation with the person.

Understanding: I'm a complex kinda person, with many different types of personality and moods. I always said that if anyone was to like me, they'd need to be understanding.

Loyal: No cheating. At all. I just couldn't cop it.

Funny: I need someone to laugh at my corny jokes, and who in turn makes me laugh. One of the "must haves".

Ambitious: I'm ambitious. Lack of ambition is a turn off to me. It makes me think "they don't know where they are going" - on the flipside, ambition is great because she has goals, and if she is intelligent and works hard, she can probably achieve them.

Romantic: I'm a romantic inside. I'll need someone who can appreciate the little things I do. I hit the jackpot there.

Affectionate: I'd probably be classified as 'clingy'. Gotta love hugs n kisses, it just shows how much you care.

Passionate: Like Sbagman, I find this important. Sure, for my girlfriend it's being a vegetarian and caring for animals, but it's a passion. I have nothing against that. It shows she has a purpose. And if she's passionate about that, it shows she can probably be passionate elsewhere...

Like (or at least tolerance) of Sport: I'm a sports nut. At least 16 Hawthorn games a year, with most Box Hill games too. If sport is on TV, it'll be on my TV. If she can cope with that, and maybe even like it, you've got yourself a catch. Lucky that she is an AFL and Hawthorn member.

Stability: I'm kind of unstable. I'm a guy with wild emotions and who is either really mature or immature. I need a steadying influence, someone who calms me. But the girl also needs to be able to let loose sometimes herself. There's nothing worse than an uptight woman.

I think that's about it. I think I just described my girlfriend. Lucky me.
