... and as vain as this may sound, there has to be some sort of sexual attraction.
Its not vain, don't worry. Everyone tells you growing up, looks aren't important, and you as well as anyone else should know that its 100% BS. You can like or even love a person for mental qualities, but long term relationships tend to have a sexual connotation. Without attraction, that fails.
Mine own - A lady that can deal with sarcastic mysoginy is a good place to start. Never abusive just stupid off the wall comments. I don't really mean it, I'm actually for equality, but my lady of 6.5 years and I both have very rough Isles humor.
I suppose the natural expansion of that would be someone with a very deep rooted sense of humor about life and themselves. If you can crack jokes, in the middle of intercourse (not Pennsylvania) or at other absurdly badly timed moments, then you win.
Intelligence is something I'm seeing alot of on here, whereas thats all well and good, wisdom is what does it for me. Makes for much better conversation.
Physically, I'm not the type of male who's face will turn red and I'll start frothing at the mouth screaming "Wooooo!!1Thems be som naice tats!1!eleven!" I've always advocated that while breasts don't make the woman, the certainly can be fun. And incedentally they make great pillows when your intoxicated. I love me a nice posterior to grab hold of.
On that note really, a gal that can keep up with me sexually is the biggest plus. I've still yet to meet one. But then again, I'm special.
And as far as the person who brought the red flags ... your answer made me laugh. I think most of us have encountered almost all of those signs at least once.
