I used to have an exact vision of characteristics that i like looong time ago . Now it is hard to tell. I really dont know. If one day i come here telling you that i exactly know what i m looking for - don't believe me Smile

I prefer the independant, intelligent, enthousiastic, life enjoying, interesting, light hearted, funny, good looking type of woman. Lucky me, I'm dating one who has all these qualities Very Happy

I don't know as i haven't met them yet ^^

Is funny how in many relationships peeps end up with opposite of what they once thought they wanted.......realising it's not always down to labels, it's just what makes you happy and you don't always know what that is

Haha what am i on about???

Good looking, creative, smart, funny, understanding(for the obvious reason) I wouldn't mind going out with a chick who's not into drama but we all know thats impossible haha. I'm also into brunettes. Thats off the top of my head, i haven't been in a serious relationship yet so that might actually be completely different from what i want for all I know.

i'd like an introverted, sensitive girl that likes music, movies, books etc. not someone who gets smashed every weekend. i'd like a girl who is on my wavelength, we'd laugh at the same things. this is really hard because i have a really weird sense of humour :\ looks arnt really that important.

Just an independent, intelligent chick who's passionate about doing something with her life. A strong sense of humor is a must. Serious/shallow chicks get on my nerves quick, and i don't care how good looking they are. Also, most relationships i've been in the girl has had 10 close guy friends, and some of them are exes - im not really the jealous type but that's really hard to deal with after awhile, especially when they tease about her sex life non-stop.

Funny, understanding, spontaneous, extroverted. That's what springs to mind when I think about my ideal boyfriend, but I think sometimes the things that really matter are the things you can't put into words.

To be honest I really do not know, I kind of dislike noting qualities before actually meeting them, I supppose anyone who is not too proud or impulsive is o.k.

Couples become very much like their partner over time and develope qualities that they may have. So really the whole quality noting thing does not matter too much, especially for some with huge expectations or standards.

Is it not dehumanising in a way to expect such things from anybody? Commitment and adaptivity is essential for a relationship, chances are there is not many so called perfect partners wandering around the earth waiting for you in which after pairing everything becomes a rose-tinted paradise with worldly troubles and struggles easily defeated in unity without a hitch.
