I have a few absolute stipulations that aren't hard to fulfill:
-They have to appreciate my cooking. Or at least eat it. My ex would never eat my food because it had too many vegetables in that he didn't like. This tended to drive me a bit crazy.
-Be taller than me. I just can't be doing with shorter guys.
-Not be hideously ugly. Or just generally being well-below-average.
But this is a thread about the ideal so that would be:
-Six foot, at least.
-Strong without being bulky. Kind of functionally strong. A climber's body, I guess.
-Longish hair, not girl-length but still longish.
-Would accompany me on "fun" rainy expeditions to the Scottish highlands with a lightweight tent, a map and not much else, without complaining too much.
-Not be afraid of trying things. The kind of person who, if asked if they wanted to abseil off a church the next day, would think about it for a few seconds and then say yes.
-Intelligent and doing a worthwhile course that they aren't ashamed to be interested in.
-Enjoy going to clubs, and enjoying it for the dancing rather than the looking at the dolled-up girls.
-Not too clingy
-Has things to teach me and equally would be willing to learn from me
-I guess moderately good-looking. Although I think too much beauty would just make me feel a bit inadequate.
-Oh and no emotional feeling towards cars please. For some reason that's anathema to me.
