Each of us has our own idea of the perfect significant other, so what characteristics would you choose? Name a characteristic that is a must and for fun name a second physical characteristic you would like. I would choose:
Number 1: Integrity I have zero tolerance for anything less
Physical: Tall <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> its my weakness, the taller the better!....although I am beginning to think the air up that high might be to thin from some of the examples I've met <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

1. Laughter mixed with sensitivity.
Physical, again, you stole my first thought (because I am tall)oh heck, I'll copy, Tall, 5'11 or above.

"Who are you" said the Caterpillar This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation.
Alice replied, rather shyly, "I--I hardly know, sir, just at present...At least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then."

I'll join in as well!
For me, the characteristic I would chose would be a tie between honesty, and integrity.
As for physical, it would have to be height also, even though I am a shrimp myself! BF is 6'4 and I'm 5'1

1. Sensual, creative, and highly sexual.
Physical- Proportions...it is all about proportions when it comes to a body. For example- Small chested with big hips = not attractive to me Small chested with shapely but not large hips = sexy Big chested with rounded and larger hips = sexy Big chested with no hips = not attractive to me
Cottage cheese turns me off too. I realize it happens with age and a little bit on the back of the thigh on an older woman is ok, but significant amounts of it just looks gross.
The opposite of love isn't hate...it's indifference

Lila: This is good. Even more fun would be 5 examples of each... Name a characteristic that is a must... REVERANCE ...and for fun name a second physical characteristic you would like. In Shape (One who shows care about her body, but not to an extreme.) FR <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you stop to look fear in the face. Challenges can be stepping stones or stumbling blocks. It’s just a matter of how you look at them. The purpose of life is to live it, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience

I will skip physical coz my ex was tall dark and handsome...and yes he had integrity too for about 18 years then he had his first affair and never gave the marriage a chance.
So what i will chose the MOST is...
VALUE - value for marriage and family...if my ex had these he would have stayed and work with me in our marriage

Ok, if you want to list 5 characteristics, lets go, my dream is:
Integrity Honesty humorous intelligent dedicated employed! (Florida seems to have a problem with this one <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />)
physical: Tall proportionate Hair (ok, at this age its not a must but it would be nice <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> ) A Harley Road King with a 14" passenger seat <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Now keep in mind this is a dream, ok, gentlemen one of you has to start the one for women.

Hmmm...there are so many things...
INTEGRITY HONESTY GOOD SENSE OF HUMOR MORLALS VALUE PRIDE DEDICATION TO FAMILY
All of these are a MUST with me. I will accept no less!!!!! P.S. Good looking with a nice bod would be ok too.(that would just be a bonus if they had all of the other qualities. If they didn't then forget the hunk! My STBX is a ex pro baseball hunk and look what that turned into.) LOL!!!!

Hey, good question. I don't want to settle for less than what I am looking for the 2nd time around. This is what I am hoping for:
OPENNESS AND HONESTY: HIDE NOTHING (I know men have a hard time talking but would like communication this time around) FAMILY PERSON: someone who will spend time as a family doing family things. DEDICATED: To me, wants to spend quality alone time with me NON PARTIER, NON DRINKER (socially ok, just not a get drunk every weekend guy)PREFER NON SMOKER SUPPORTIVE AND MAKES DECISIONS TOGETHER PLANS FOR THE FUTURE IN ALL ASPECTS, BE ABLE TO SET GOALS TOGETHER
Physcially, well, I look for the whole package honestly. If you are hot as can be but don't have the qualities I am looking for that will make you unattractive to me. Doesn't have to have a perfect body. Like tall. age range of 25-35. Someone who likes to walk or hike would be nice. I like getting outside. I guess just someone in my age range who is a family man and not going out to the bars, etc. My dream has always been to have my home and children and husband I could just cook and clean for and take care of and spend time with. A strong bond and values. Hope he is out there somewhere. In my small town I will be lucky if I can find a man with even just one of the attributes I am looking for! Most of the men are in the bar or out with a different one all the time. Or the good ones are taken already. mlhb

Play time!
honest & open ability & willingness to communicate (especially about emotions) kind & considerate fun to be with we laugh together appreciates me for me & that I feel the same for him
not star basket ball player tall, not 3' not hugely fat, but bulk & even a bit extra is fine I'd prefer he had teeth keeps clean

I've been trying to answer this for the past 3 days and kept getting side-tracked. So DD is at the beach and I ahve a little time, so here goes:
Character Traits Not necessarily in order.
1. Reverance (already posted this one). 2. Accountability/Responsibility (These traits are very similar, so I made them count for one.) 3. Respectful Independence 4. Sense of Humor 5. Faith
Physical Traits : Oh, this is going to get me into trouble! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
1. In Shape 2. Neck (I know it's a bit different, but I find a woman's neck to be sexy.) 3. Long T-shirt (All men love this, but probably won't admit it!) 4. Great smile (The type where her whole face smiles - that is very sexy!) 5. "Shortish" hair. (Shows the neck. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />)
FR <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />
