I like a girl whose not afraid to get dirty. The kind who, for example, if
they have to  disect something in Biology, they slice it open and cram their
hands in. Female cops appeal to me, but they're way older than myself. If they
want to stay with me, they have to learn to respect the friends i have already
made because, like it or not, they got there first. Women who don't give you
their input on anything and then complain that we never do anything that THEY
want to do really turn me off. And last but not least, they can't be clingy,
someone who has to be with me every second. If they are, then it's not gonna
work.

Intelligence, kindness, honesty, and the willingness to display all three.
I really despise smart women who go out of their way to act stupid, just
because that's "what they're supposed to do" (whatever that means).

Precise grammar, ability to crow like a rooster, tendancy to hide under
furniture, good golf stroke, arcane knowledge, garlic breath, crack shot
with a bazooka, apologetic kleptomania, puts fingers in ears and says
"I can't hear you woo-woo-woo-woo," knows when to walk away, calls parents
by first names, gets lost in shopping malls, knows who invented the
bulldozer, and never ever rats on cats.

I love a guy who is honest, smart, caring, spontaneous, and full of 
life.  The last two are very important because they make the guy
fun to be with!:)

I love a guy who loves me for myself, doesn't give me any shit, and a
guy who can have sex forever.

Welcome to Grex Patches!  (another fellow McKendrean!)

Hi scratch!  Welcome to Grex!

Intelligent, and not afraid to show it...Won't give or take any crap to/from
me.  Also somebody who is good at some things - nothing specific, but who
has some specialties.

somebody willing to put up with my really nasty temper, and gives as good
as they get, so that i don't steam-roller 'em.  needs good sense of humor.

Someone with a sense of humor (can make me laugh), intelligent, impulsive,
creative, talkative, open-minded, likes to dance, and has the initials C.F.M. 
;) Love ya darlin'!

I am blessed with a wonderful husband. Important to me: wit, ability to debate/
challenge my brain, willingness to listen, patience, playfulness, consideration
for the feelings of others, ability to trust. Big bonus: did not try to find
the quickest route into my pants when we met. We are friends and partners.
Good luck to the rest of you. 

(this is now linked with oathbound, it's item #30)

What do I look for?  Hmm, someone I can care about, someone who can make
me laugh.  Who likes to spend time with me, and talk to me.  Someone who
gives back rubs... :)  Intelligence is a definite plus...

My track record suggests Scorpios.  I haven't decided if that is ideal or 
trouble yet.

Would you describe your cleanliness scale of 1 to 10 for us? 

Well, I look for inteligence, primarily.  She has to be able to challenge
my mind,to be willing to debate with me on anything at the drop of a hat. 
She has to have a good sense of humor, but more importantly, she has to
understand mine.  She has to be  adaptable, because I am kindof
unpredictable.  She has to take what I can give, and not give in.  She has
to be independant, and not let me take over.  I want a partner, not a servent.

i will NOT say it...i will NOT say it...:)

i have yet to understand why beauty seems to be such a big part of what 
people look for in mates.  (this is not to say that anybody here has mentioned
it, but just society in general).  as far as i'm concerned, looks aren't
worth a damn.  gimmee strong willed, good humor, and somebody willing just
to let me be myself, somebody who is willing NOT to necessarily fit in with
the crowd...willing to make decesions for themselves, willing to let me make
decisions for myself.

I have to say that I've never met a girl that didn't have something beautiful
on the outside. If it's not here eye's it's her hair or (things I won't get
into, otherwise I might OFFEND  somebody.) Since I've been fourteen, I've
never seen an ugly girl..there is no such thing.

i like that way of thinking!  unfortunately, tho, society doesn't agree with
that idea...the perfact person has to have the right measurements, the right
hair, eyes, clothes, and skip the personality!

Boy, eeyore.  In #17 you described TS to a tee.  Maybe you two should
get together.  

I'd be attracted to someone intelligent with good "people
skills."  My easiest guide is to listen for how often a person
uses the word "should" in any context.  Beyond that, I'd like to
meet a gal that likes to spend time outdoors and going to dances,
festivals, movies, etc.  I also very much enjoy personal
conversation about feelings, awareness and growth.

My ideal companion is educated (self- or otherwise), intelligent, capable,
competent, and supremely civilized.  And they know moderately well when not
to be.  They are not confounded by inescapable routine.  They are human,
humane, able to be sensitive sensual and simplistic as the occasion requires,
and appreciate recognition, but do not wither without it.
 The more I write in this response, the less happy I am with what it conveys.
Consider the list of requirements to be complete as of the first sentence.

Well, this is supposed to be an ideal, isn't it?

Neither, really.  I seem to find that people who use the word
"should" a lot tend to be judgmental and/or tend to make
assumptions about others.  I figure it's okay for people to view
the world however they want to, but my preference for close
friends are those who are more accepting.

\Hmmm...Accepting is a major plus.  Caring, fun to be with, someone who can
make me feel comfortable and loved, not afraid to try something new and
slightly off-the-wall.  Sense of humor, energy...and someone I can have a
decent conversation about something deeper than the latest sports event
with.
That syntax was a bit strange...excuse me while I go back to the grammar
item!

Honesty and dependability are very important to me.  The ability to laugh.
Responsibility and commitment. Good common sense. Intelligence and
capability.  Someone who is of a strong mind and good self-image.  This
may sound like a tall order, but my husband has all these qualities (and more)!

I think "with" should come after "conversation," lynne.

Actually, I think it should be "with whom I can have a decent conversation..."

picky, piucky, pciky...:)

In all the girls that have attracted me, the one thing that is common is that
they all were willing to trust me to some extent.  They opened themselves
up to me, and let me get to really know them, and when I did, I loved them.
The problem is, when they did it, when they let me into their minds and
hearts, they didn't really know that they were doing it.  The one serious
relationship that I've ever been in, and in which I am still involved, is
in a large part based on a conscious decision to trust each other and to
be completely honest about our feelings and thoughts.  Other than that,
intelligence and a willingness to challenge me and ask me difficult
questions and to try to answer the difficult questions that I ask; a very
active sense of humor that doesn't mind doing things just to be weird
every once in a while; common interests--all of these things are nice.  

Well, I think I have more to say, but I can't think of it at the moment.

I think my ideal mate would always sing songs stuck in her head,
And tap beats out on the dinner table, play punk rock, write short stories,
be loud and obnoxious, and stick their toungue out alot....I figure that's
the only kind of person that can stand me.
And excuse me for being a materialistic bastard, but looks do matter to me,
and I'm not going to lie and say they don't. HGeavens knows, I wish they didn't
But they do...but not like SOO much...
I hate being shallow...it leaves so much to be desired.

I don't wish for what I can't have.
Love is a sickness.  A good one?  Maybe.  But a sickness nonetheless.

My two cents.  More to come?  Better believe it.

Being "In love" can be, in it's most extreme cases, a form of insanity.
A glorius, terrible, joyfull, aching form of insanity, but insanity
none the less.

I tend to be self-centered and judgemental, so I need a tolerant and 
understanding mate.  As far everything else is concerned, I admire
intelligence and compassion (in all persons, as well as a mate) and 
high, yet unconventional morals.  I really pity the woman who is 
attracted to me, as I am often hard to figure out, and a general 
pain in the ass.  I think I know everything and so I also need someone
with a tremendously open mind, and good sense of humor.  On my good
days though, I am very nice guy; and I hope I make up for my lackings.
I like brown hair and brown eyes, too.  @  @

Being "in love" is something I miss...

It is a fleeting sensation, isn't it?

Re: 35  Cute smiley face!

Thank you Amy, and may you find plenty of easter eggs in your basket.
