Sense of Humor: I'm with you on that, I think. =) Interests: As long as we have enough in common to have.. well, common ground, I'm happy. If nothing else, the differences will ensure we are constantly learning something new about/from each other. Hopefully. Intelligence: Meh, you said it best. So long as they're willing to learn something new, it's all good. Stagnation = bad. Ambition: Don't want someone too ambitious. Some is very good to have, but like most things in life too much or little of something can be bad. mellowness:Being laid back is much preferable than being uptight, but not so laid back that they can't make any decisions. Confidence: Because I'm a rather.. forceful person at times, I'm afraid I have a grand total of one (kinda needed) test for a guy: Will he get the gumption up to ask me out. If he can get that far, I'll go that extra mile to see if it'll work. So far, I've had all of... one guy do that. One other has gotten close, while a third was set up on a blind date with me by a friend of mine. Smile: Oh hells yeah. Totally with you there. The whole-face smile. Even better when it's a whole-body smile. Irrational physical attractions: Long, well-kept hair. Shoulder length or butt length, it doesn't matter so long as it's well kept. *purrs* That and being physically active. Not necessarily being trim and cut, though that's nice eye candy, but evidence that yeah, they work hard at something and aren't afraid to get dirty. They can have a bit of a gut and I could give a rats ass so long as they've got some muscle under that. Needless to say between those two things, I've been purring quite a bit when I started going to our SCA fighting workouts. Both of those traits in the same spot! Heaven! Now, if only they were available....
