what is your criteria of an ideal partner?

This is an easy question to answer becasue I've already found my ideal partner (my wife) But she understands me. Sometime I can just look at her and she know something is worng or have an idea what is going on. She has similar interests as me and get excited about thing I get excited about. Most of all she supports me and my endevors. The physical attractions was not really there when we meet, it happend through time as I got to know her.

You are generalizing here... I don't think men look only after looks. I know for myself and for my close friends, that we are looking for not only good looking, but more so for smart and intelligent. If there is nothing to talk about, or I feel like I am talking to a 15 year old or less, there is no reason for me to stay in this relationship. Why do you think so?

For me the loyalty, honesty,always sharing each other, have a quality of life and he/her can appreciate you as what you are is the important criteria to be a partner and these criteria will make you happy and enjoy for our life.

This one is easy. :) Must love to cuddle, talk, be able to go for long walks, be willing to be spoiled, a fun and lively lady, MUST HAVE BRAINS, and most of all when we are in a fight be able to talk it out.

ya its some what right. But i dont think that means only cocentrating on nice figure and all. if they are roaming near nice figure and all its not mean that they are trying to catch her. They are looking her attitude,behaviour, I mean to say how womans are reacting once any one telling something about her. one thing to be clear that finally both are streesing personality of each other

Yes I think we men are luckier than women because they accept us even if we are not good looking while most men are obsessed about the "exterior" of a woman.. still physical beauty counts but it doesn't have to be stunning or glamorous, everyone can take care of themselves and show one side or another of their physical beauty along with their personality..

I look these qualities from my ideal partner... 1. Integrity and dedicative 2. Love with all the things 3. Patience 4. Entusiasm and motivation 5. Confident 7. Honesty 8. funny 9.Sense of Humour

I ahve to disagree with you here. Not all guys go by looks, and not all girls go by personality.. Most ogf my friends would Never think about dating someone that is not gorgeous, no matter how sophisticated he is. And i have male friends who have avaragelooking women b their side and love them just as they are...

I have no criteria when looking for a partner. i just fall for that someone. that is really bad for me, because i can easily fall for someone. im not sure if it is really normal. but i try to stay in love with that someone.

Well I am not that kinda guy that goes entirely for looks in a girl. For me the girl should be intelligent, witty, have a good sense of humor, be kind and caring and if she is down to earth then I am sure that it will be an instant match for us. I believe in one thing very strongly and that is that "Outer beauty will one day fade with time, where as inner beauty is eternal"

I've always looked for absolute quality. Good taste for all the things that I like, since I'm into just about everything it wouldn't be that hard. But, I also look for someone who's about the mind, body and soul. It's an enriched lifestyle and it's also absolute!

My ideal partner is someone who gives me respect, loves me for who i am, is somewhat good looking, makes me laugh, helps out around the house, and who has confidence in themselfs.

Honestly, I have some degree of "superficiality" about me. I have never been with someone I thought was "top notch," like, better looking than everyone else in a certain circle. But at the same time, I do want to be attracted to someone. I'm shy as is, and I'm that much more so if a really unattractive person is hitting on me. But at the same time, my standards extend beyond outward appearance. Even if a Carmen Electra or Monica Bellucci look-alike asked me out, I won't go for it unless I know her. And if she is ugly on the inside, it makes no difference to me how "hot" I think she is; I won't give her the time of day. That said, does it ever seem to you that personality can somehow manipulate a person's "attractiveness?" On the very first day of my freshman year in H.S., I met this girl named Sarah. She was six feet tall, blonde (I usually like brunettes), and unusually good-looking. She looked to me like your typical fashion model. We got to know each other through mutual friends, and started hanging out during breaks. She was bossy, snobbish, and just plain mean. One day, I told her I'd had enough. I stopped hanging out with her, and we rarely even talked except after a couple times I'd sung the national anthem for rallies (I was frequently called on for such things). Even then, it was basically "Hi, bye." And she never looked quite the same after that. On the other hand, there was this girl I worked with at Fry's Electronics who trained me when I transferred to Returns as a permanent replacement for a disabled worker. She was not an "ogre," but she wasn't notably attractive, either. As the only two people representing the A/V department in returns, we became closely knit partners. One thing that really stood out about this person was her demeanor. She had a good sense of humor, and smiled more than anyone. She took me to her sister's birthday party and to a Beastie Boys concert before I finally realized..."Oh! This girl must be sweet on me." I decided to ask her out. Unfortunately, some other guy beat me to the punch. :(

What you said is right,but in my thought your life partner should love you,instead that how much you love him or her.Physical appearance also have some part in choosing a life partnerit remain for few years.But actaully love last for life.
