Someone who has similar interests to myself - i.e. games, films, comics etc, but also some different ones so she has some to intoduce me to and vice versa. Basically someone who is quite relaxed (i.e. doesn't get stressed if I don't fancy going out every night or something) but very much committed - i.e not someone who will mess around or not be in it for the whole nine yards. Someone who is polite and down to Earth, and has a sense of humour, and someone who is unafraid of expressing their feelings and expressing their feelings for me. I'd also like someone who would give me space from time to time, if I wanna see all my mates or something - so basically not clingy, but not detached either. Also, back to my feelings thing, they need to be emotionally mature - willing to listen to my problems and also be willing to tell me theirs and feel comfortable doing that, whatever the problem is. And from that, if I've done something to annoy me, they should tell me rather than exhibiting passive-aggressive behaviour.
Very Intelligent and funny.

Down to earth, cute, smart, driven, affectionate but not clingy/needy and most importantly... someone who I 'click' with.

Umm someone who is interested in what I am, someone who is "womanly" ie. soft speaking, willing to listen, caring, reachable, warm(I know this sounds weird!) interesting, someone who talks but talks in an intelligent manner , witty and sympathetic.

Nix!
not clingy/needy

It's a shame so many people mention this. :frown:
But the not being clingy thing is so important. There are guys and girls whose lives revolve round their other halves and that's not right. You want someone who has a life outside of your relationship with them or else you'll just get suffocated.

Well if you are clingy, you will drive your partner away, it is a big turn off in a relationship.

As people have mentioned, I need some independence as does my desired partner.
Intelligence
A deep passion for something - Passion for an academic field is sexy in particular
Trustworthy
Humorous - usually comes with intelligent
Playful but not immature
Tolerant (to an extent) towards my behaviours/attitudes
Someone who is willing to try something new
Someone with initiative
Willing to challenge their own beliefs
Someone who can appreciate argument for the sake of arguing in a mature manner instead of attributing hypothetical suggestion as a personal attack.
two main things

1) Looks
2) Personality
You want to hear just about personality I think.

1. She must be happy.

2. Its even better if she laughs a lot and has an easy going, uplifting, and fun personality.

3. She should be loving and supportive.

4. Emotionally she should be compatible with you; on the same wave length so to speak.

5. At the same time if she has intellectual interests which match yours, or at least a similar intellectual capacity, then that makes things even better.

Unless both partners in the relationship are clingy...

As to the original question, everyone has different preferences. If one type of girl was far superior to the others, then 90% of girls would always be single. And even if there are some agreed-upon characteristics that make a perfect girl, they're all subjective. A good sense of humor in the view of one guy might not be a good sense of humor in the eyes of another. Cuteness means different things to different people. Instead of worrying about things that can't be changed, everyone should just look for someone who does like them for what they are.
i think all men want other men. lol. na am kidding. tbh, sex doesnt feature as much as i think a lot of women might expect when considering what men actually want. humour, personality, aimiable, easy to get on with, honest, and other such things, are far more important (at least to me) than getting into a girls pants. why are you asking? surely it should be what you want? you should be the one setting the criteria. hope that helped. xx

Ideally.. someone you can get along with. I wouldn't want a "perfect" person as well.. That'd be extremely boring. I'd much rather have someone who was different and interested in different things so we'd have different things we like.
Who knows?

Agreed. This is where I went wrong in my last relationship. I was so clingy my (ex) bf dumped me. I'm not surprised. I learnt a lot from that relationship.

Good point there, only problem though you imagine two people being clingy and checking up on each other every few minutes, it can be worse in some cases.
