Standards - what has he/she GOT to have?
There's nothing wrong with being a little high maitenance when considering a potential spouse (in my personal opinion) because it sometimes roots out the truly unworthy. So, boys and girls, how do you root out the 'unworthy' - what must he/she have/not have before you consider them?
For me, it's just a couple of things:
1) GOT to be more intelligent than me/on a par with me/have some kind of wisdom which exceeds mine (not hard, lol)
2) GOT to be able to lift me up fairly easily (I'm quite small, so it's not too hard)
3) Like a spontaneous lad
4) Got to be fairly understanding/non-judgemental
I like blonde hair/ginger hair (love ginger boys) - but that's not so important. But it's a plus.

A degree
A decent job
Appreciation of the arts (in general)
Plays sport/generally looks after themselves
Tall and well-built
Hot
Similar aspirations as me (otherwise it just wouldn't work)
Similar age (anyone who says it doesn't matter is deluded, I don't want to be widowed at 50)
They have to be a cat person (those are the only people you should trust)
Good taste in films and books (men who like rom-coms have issues)
Similar sense of humour
Decent dress sense (I don't want to be embarrassed everywhere I go)
Likes going out having fun rather than sitting about, especially events where you have to dress up.
Not too clingy and pathetic (prefer slightly arrogant men so long as it's based on something)
That's all I can think of right now... probably enough to be getting on with though.

i like a woman to be:
shorter than me (although not essential)
have some level of inteligance
passionate for something (with my selection of women its usually kids or animals)
someone who doesn't get jealous because i have lots of female friends
somone who i can talk to and know they are listening
and just someone who i can snuggle up to and protect.

I think that men have an instinctual yearning to protect people and for others to be dependent on them (women and children; not other men). As patronising towards women as it sounds, a guy can feel quite hollow and worthless when he doesn't have someone to look after.

Well it depends on the person obviously (this is all hypothetical anyway and totally unrealistic) but by and large I can't see me with someone who doesn't have a degree. I think we'd have fundamentally different attitudes towards things which would create problems (especially when it came to educating our children... if you wana take the argument that far)
Yeah id like to feel protected around my boyfriend/partner... but i wouldnt want to feel dependent upon him: i'm a very independent girl
