Poll: What do you look for in a partner?

[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!

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

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.

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.

 

[EeveeElectro]

Uhh... None of those options to be honest. I suppose 'cuteness' if I had to pick. It's really cute when they want to cuddle and kiss me and compliment me.
I prefer happy, positive people who have no problem with showing their feelings.

Bah, too many captchas.

 

[saoirse13]

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.

 

[Lectori Salutem]

Being real would be a good start...

Hurr durr derp

 

[Tanner The Monotone]

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

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

 

[Sandjube]

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.

 

[Combustion Kevin]

honesty, kindness and passion.
also, human being.

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