what qualities do you look for in a friend or partner?

In order of importance:

Intelligence.
Humour.
Big thighs.
Sex drive like a rabbit.

If a woman has a good mind combined with a good sense of humour then as far as Im concerned, shes a goddess.
The physical side of it isnt at all important, but Im lucky to say that my other half is a little hotty.

Honesty
Trust
Intelligence
Sense of Humour
Confidentiality - If I tell them something personal, I don't expect them to tell others.
Integrity
Diplomacy.

Physically, they have to be skinny and quite dark haired

Personality wise, I'd appreciate it if they could make me laugh and also be there for me when I'm having one of my mood swings.

My ideal partner is someone who respects and loves me for who I am (not who they'd like me to be), who's gentle and kind but will stand up to me when I need it, who can engage me in conversation and challenge my opinions but be secure enough to allow me to challenge theirs too, who can make me laugh and who is prepared to put in enough effort to understand me on a deeper level and meet me there, not just on the surface.

Someone to share good things and bad with, who wants to know the whole me and accepts that I have flaws and insecurities the same as anyone else and loves me anyway.

Thank you honey for doing all of these things.

Must have a pulse and low standards.. I'd be willing to compromise though!

Flatulence, body odour and scabies.

I really couldn't have put it better myself, that is exactly what i would like in a relationship too.
Your a very lucky lady and you so deserve it :) does he have a twin brother going begging at all? :hihi:

or a triplet?

If he's got a twin brother going begging, that doesn't sound healthy. He really ought to work on his self-esteem.

:o Not that sort of begging, careful this could deteriorate into one of those unemployed bashing threads :hihi:

Except substitute he for she.

qualities I admire: Integrity, honesty, trust, loyalty, a fun companion and GSH

trust is obviously a big issue in many relationships.

She said what she wants is a man to be faithful
A true heart somebody willin' and able
To stay by her side through thick and thin
A tender touch every now and then

She's not hung up on fairy tales
Or some dream at the bottom of a wishin' well
Fancy cars or diamond rings
What she wants most are the little things

That's what she gets
That's what she gets
That's what she gets for loving me

At times I lay awake at night
Stare at her laying by my side
Knowin' there in her heart as she sleeps
She can forever count on me


Whatever turns her on
I'm here to do it
Till the day they write my name in stone
I'll live to prove it

... as Brooks and Dunn said.
