Wants/Expectations/Minimum RequirmentsFollow

That's really neat, actually.

Ok, well to me anyway.

Well, that would certainly qualify. So would "not obsessive about his money", at least in some sense.

Let's be honest, though, we're constantly bombarded with the idea that wealth is the most important quality for a man to have to attract a woman, and that beauty/sex appeal is the most important quality for a woman to attract a man. You can't be too surprised to find men leary of the idea that women want them to be "financially secure" any more than women are tired of hearing from men how they have to be physically attractive no matter how delicately it's worded.

I could easily see myself being with a starving artist, for instance, and it would be more important to me that her work fulfilled her rather than made us economically equal.

Not me, I'm totally going for a sugar momma.

Eh, I'll bite. My standards aren't so low.

Minimum: Intelligent, attractive but not vain (not a big fan of the tanning, hair bleaching, boob-job having kind of woman), very loving and forgiving, healthy (exercises, eats decently, no smoking/drugs except the rare pot/alcohol). Also more or less a requirement that they not be a theist, with few exceptions. Parenting philosophies have to match up if we'll be having children or if they already have them. Oh, and a job. A real one where they actually provide a valuable service to the community, or at least working in that direction. They're family and friends have to not be ******* crazy if they actually expect me to be involved with them on a regular basis. Has to at least tolerate the handful of people in this world that I actually like (mostly close family).

Anything less than that, I'll die alone thank you very much.

I can't distinguish between my minimum and what my expectations are.

Additional wants: A bit nerdy, playing video games/watching anime are both plusses. Someone who can both dish out and tolerate a dynamic contrast of goofiness and stoicism. I can go either way in a heartbeat. Serious convictions about morality and social justice, and a willingness to act on them. If they can put up a good fight (physically-- like as a sparring partner), major points. Brilliant is much preferred to simply being intelligent. The more similar activities we enjoy the better, but I'm a bit of a homebody and I'd prefer someone who isn't constantly dragging me places or needs a lot of stimulation from me. Someone who goes to dance/nightclubs/bars will have to go without me. Can't stand em. Ideally no kids, and any friends or family that they're in close contact with I get along with.

Really want someone who shares a similar philosophical schema as myself, but I'd settle for someone who could even appreciate it.

Unfortunately attractive women are usually dumb or taken, nevermind the other stuff.

***.

I've dropped all of my preconceived expectations being that women are aliens and usually not to be trusted. Most of the time people can catch on to what you are looking for and what you want to see and hear and use that to their advantage of getting you hooked in the first place... and then once they do a complete 360 you cannot come to grips with the fact that you have been utterly fooled so you go on thinking about what it is that you did wrong to make this person change when really it was them who were deceiving you in the first place.

no, I'm not fucking bitter about anything

I am so calling you on the way home. I would say go eat some ice cream, but I think dairy's still off your list right?

Samira gets it.

hmmm, you present an interesting argument. I would like to sign up for your newsletter.

Hmm, ok, let's see.

Minimum requirements: Female, Someone with a nice personality and a good sense of humor (and a suprisingly high tolerance for really bad puns). Mean people, even if hot, suck and I don't want to be involved with that. Definitly a non smoker due to the allergies if nothing else. Someone not adverse to dating someone somewhat on the large side. I'd prefer someone who either likes, or doesn't mind computers in quantity. I'd like to have kids someday, so someone who was interested in that would be good. She would have to be intelligent too.

As far as likes and dislikes, political viewpoints, etc. I have no real preference, but I'd think that someone who agreed with me on everything would get rather boring.

Oh, she has to have a sizeable forum postcount too. Definitly that.

They're back where they started, and what's the problem?

Sorry, that just bugs me. <3 Kelvy.
