I also want a girl who can appreciate and has a twisted/wicked sense of humor. I have a tendancy to say things on impulse, usually as a joke, and sometimes they can be quite funny in a rather dark way, if she can't find any of that funny at least half of time, that's going to be tough on both of us.

Diesel likes girls who quote feces?
What a perv.

i was just playin' :-(

I would like to think that I'm a believer in "It's not what you like, it's what you are like," but even when I meet a seemingly fine person at work or at school, I can't help but hope that their favorite movie is not The Boondock Saints.

I was just at the San Francisco Gay Pride festival thing at the civic center. Only one guy in assless chaps... I'm a little disappointed.

But for me...

a vagina
a sarcastic/cynical sense of humor to match my own
a taste for art and music but without pretension
cute, of course
doesn't hate me when I get lazy but doesn't let me off easy
supportive
can carry an intelligent coversation without getting bored
doesn't mind that I'm lossing my hair
eh... guess there may be more that I can't think of

i have a strange, desperate kinda fascination iwth bijou...i cant figure out why for the life of me.

Guys who, when describing something that they enjoy, do not always resort to saying "[insert subject here] is FUCKING SWEET!"

hahaha....

i think you just pegged 3/4 of the american male population.

I tried.

i guess that narrows down the search, huh?

-nice skin
-darker hair (unless blonde is natural and suits thems)
-glasses are a plus
-my sense of humor
-good taste in art
-shorter than me by a good margin (not over 5'6")
-no pin thin
-bass player is a BIG plus

other than that, I can not.

Ha!

I don't make nearly enough effort to justify calling it a search, though.

I get sick of people who are always in my face, even if they are likable. These are the people who are so obsessed with themselves, they make sure that everyone around them knows all of the most insignificant details of their lives. Because God forbid someone might want to form their own opinion of you rather than having you tell them what to think.

There really is something to be said for keeping your mouth shut. When quiet people do talk, I am more inclined to listen to what they are saying. When I meet a person who can't stop talking, I basically start to tune out everything they say.

...i used to be the quiet type...i guess i still am...just that drinking changes a lot of things...

When she kept ajusting her hair... hahaha. And she refused to take her hood off. And the hair was thick as fuck.

...no.... not at all true.

or "FUCKIN' SICK!!"

My eyes!!!!

a girl that's good looking, has an awesome sense of humor, intelligent, and caring.

personality, talent, open and passionate, gives great .........

no shit, i completely understand where you're coming from, but at the same time...when i get liquored up, i tend to talk a bit...to people who are equally liquored up, if that makes sense.

kindness.

An ability to drink lager and telling me to shut up.

Ditto.

Regaring physical appearance I prefer dark-haired girls and I don't like very big boobs.

I almost passed the test! If only I wasn't an ass sometimes.

Would you make an exception for Monica Belluci?:

She's sensual and far from ugly but I find her beauty a bit common actually, her personality's also a bit fake I think (she's very affected when she talks).

me too! I just don't smoke weed haha

emmaH and i would never work....

Well, I don't like the opposite sex so I'll just say what I look for in the same sex.

Physical:
Hair cannot be blonde or red. Occassionally, I'll make an exception to this rule.
Teeth must be straight and white. No crack teeth.
They must be CLEAN. Well dressed, cologne, nice skin, etc.
I like them to at least be somewhat tall.
I like them not to be stick-thin but they can't be fat. A little pudgy stomach and stuff is just fine.
I don't like men who shave their bodies. If I wanted to date a prissy little bitch I'd be straight.

Personality:
Has to listen to some decent music. At least one group we can agree on.
Artsy.
Open-minded.
I like to be able to discuss books and movies and things.
Must be intelligent.

That's different though, even I do that.

Someone who looks like a man. I don't care for personalities much.

a pulse.

That's not mandatory.

Word.

I think once you even BEGIN to make a generic list of criteria, you're fucked. Or not, as it were.

I personally think it's totally random.

*Edit: I only really ever "date" people when I'm in other countries. So perhaps they have to be foreign and easily discarded.

Just curious: Has anyone ever found the sort of person that they had been looking for?

I found her, yes. But getting them to like you is something different.

I'm so demanding!

Kindness, empathy, good communication skills, generosity, initiative ("let's try" rather than "let's wait and see").
All of them not too highly developed so I can be up to it.

Feels like second is the hardest to find, or maybe it improves with age? :rolleyes:

yes but it doesn't work that way. it's not like you go around with a laundry list & checking items off it. well some people may do that, i think they are fucked up in the head. it's more of a feeling that someone is righ, an intuition. that's why i didn't post in this thread originally, it seemed naive & silly. you can't possibly find someone who has every fucking trait you want-- besides, that's a form of narcissism.

now, having said that-- having found a "the right person" doesn't mean it's all done & your problems are over. there is A LOT of shit to be worked out. a couple's life without conflict is like a marriage between zombies. you always gotta be working at it or the thing dies-- people change, grow, evolve, and both partners need to adapt, adjust, or bust up. oh yeah i've been to hell & back.

now, if we're talking about "ideals", which don't exist in real life, only in dreams, here's my "ideal"

ha ha ha, she doesn't exist!

I think i did, she's now with someone who works in an awful sub-athena lifestyle gift shop and likes Razorlight. What can you do?
