In anyone...they just have to be a good person Just nice, someone who isn't mean but can accept the faults of others, but still be a there for them even though they have these faults. I am a little too trusting..so it is very hard for me to make friends or even find someone (but I'm not really looking, anyway!) like a partner because I get worried that I will trust them and get hurt. Its happened before so..I just don't learn I guess, so its easier to avoid the unknown sometimes. I cherish the couple of friends that I do have, because I know that they are good people that will be there for me if I need someone to even just to talk to. That's all I really want

In a significant other I'm not sure what I want. Good chemistry, good sense of humor, someone who can keep me on my toes, not worried about intellegence although I find intellence very sexy, but they need to have a good spark albiet being naughty sometimes is cool, and encouraged. Shared interests is a must.


For friends I just look for people I can trust.

This would be what I meant earlier when I said nobody gets my sense of humor. Maybe it's too deadpan / droll / subtle.

As for me, I usually can't stand to be with a girl who is unintelligent. The sex could be great but when we're grasping for straws on what to talk about later on it's just ... bleh. Though, a really nice outgoing personality can make up for that somewhat.

I generally like people who are not promiscuous, as I see that as a pretty negative quality. If a girl is slutty around me how is she around other guys? The same goes for guy friends, I don't want to go to the bar and hang out if all they're doing is hitting on the girls they find. Maybe that's just me but that's not why I go to bars.

As for the positive aspects I look for in anybody it's generally intellect, honesty, knowing how to conduct oneself properly in public, things of that sort. People who can just hang out as opposed to doing something at every godgiven moment is also a plus.

What does that mean?

The one thing I hate about everyone saying that they're looking for someone who's smart, funny, and caring is that I hang out with guys who are smarter, funnier, and more caring (or so you would think). So oppurtunity for dating in my world stays shut what with the competition I'm up against. Plus all the girls I know are already dating. (either that or they don't like me)



pretty much dry humor basicly it meens no good sense of humor very plain and boring. atleast thats what my definition is of this. if im wrong pleez someone correct me.


You indeed shall find that I have "no good sense of humor". Am I to take it that English is your second language?

People in general - Someone that isn't an asshole. You know, the type of people that generally make themselves out to be dumbasses which in turn get laughs by hick communities, etc. I grew up in such places so, not surprisingly, I hated high school like that. I think the whole thing of having a decent sense of humor is a good thing but, at the same time, it doesn't hurt if the person knows when to draw the line. If I'm always thinking you're in sarcastic mode, I wouldn't know when to take you seriously.

Friends in general - Step up from people in general. Basically, I know you well enough that I'd personally trust you with my life if it came down to it. I probably overkill on the amount of trust that I put in people sometimes, which can be a good or a bad thing depending on the circumstance, so what I would expect in return is the reinforcement to that which, most times, comes anyways. I don't take well to backstabbers or people that put me in a situation that I don't want to be in, but at the same time I can forgive easily if rectified correctly (i.e. I'm not a dumbass to let some person who thinks they're my friend to walk all over me). Otherwise, go to the asshole people pile. I'd want nothing to do with you and I can give you a cold shoulder worse than the general public and not give it a second thought.

Partners in general - Ohhh god this is a pain in the ass to get right. You know I looked into several types of relationships and I've only had four but I know what I would want out of someone and so far each of them seem to fail in the category of settling down/submitting to maturity for once. I'll clarify: there've been times where I've had the other want something out of me that I can't possibly do or I can't possibly do ALL THE TIME. Rather than coming to an understanding about this, however, the person would rather bitch, moan, and complain about it. Not cool. Out of a person like that, I wouldn't give you much more really. I HAVE to have someone who's understanding in a relationship. Not just one aspect...I'm talking everything that encompasses me. I don't have the slightest problem doing it the other way around and if there's something that I don't like, I ask and try to find out why the person is the way they are.

I mean, isn't that the whole point? If you're going to be with someone the rest of your life, wouldn't you want to know everything about that person; wouldn't you want to understand that person so that you wouldn't be met with something down the road that could screw you over something royally like I've seen so many times in relationships/marriages? People just don't exercise this. That and keeping things serious. Personally, I'm not in relationships for a one night, month, or year time period. Uh uh. When I get to that point of saying the three words, I mean it; I want no one else.

Then things tend to iron out the way they always do. I get uninteresting, the other wants stuff out of me that I can't possibly do, yadayada the thing fizzles out like a can of soda on a hot day. So, anymore, I don't really look for relationships. They just keep adding on more trouble than they're worth most times. That's not to say I wouldn't enjoy having a relationship like the one I described but...I have a feeling that it won't happen anytime soon, if at all.

Eh, I guess I'm kind of cynical about all this. I see these advertisements for dating sites where they say they can find your ideal partner, based on your individual preferences. But really, doesn't everyone want basically the same thing? I don't see anyone saying they want some ugly obnoxious idiot with no sense of humor.
Really, everyone has a good and a bad side. And they all generally try to show only their good side. Its only once you really get to know someone that you see their bad side, and at that point you can just accept that its there and deal with it, or move on to the next person (who of course, also has a bad side).

pretty much i dont realy care for what a person is like (as long as they are not some self centerd conceided freak who thinks that the world revolves around them)
but this is only in friends. when it comes to getting a girlfriend then i realy just want someone nice and who i can get good vibes from. other wise anynice person is a person i can get along with.

Loyalty and a sense of humor. That's all you really need.

I hate malicious people. Anyone who can go out there with the intent to hurt someone else.. I avoid. Whether it be physically or mentally. Sarcasticness and humor is something else, but when it comes to the point of like "I'm going to ruin his/her day" shit.. then no. Not cool.

I tend to be attracted towards anyone who's not a dumbass. And there's a large amount of non-dumbasses who surround me. Then again there's like 6,000 kids in my school. I guess most of my friends are music, drama club geeks.. as am I.. so it works. Genuine niceness in a person is a must.. I don't like backstabbers or liars. And if you're going to talk my ear off about some asshole you don't like... every time I see you.. chances are I'll cease talking to you. I'm drawn towards creative and artistic people to for some reason.. people who have a passion captivate me.

With boyfriends, looks don't matter at all really. In fact, it's really all about the mind. Think what you will (if you've read my other threads), but I'm serious. Attitude, personality and a passion... otherwise the person is just vacant and boring to me. I hate when a guy says to me "Uh.. so when are you going to break my heart? I don't deserve you.".. when everything is like.. good.. it makes me think there's a problem I don't detect. Underconfidence= uncool.

They have to not be a dumbass (rules out 90% of people already). Humour helps too, and honesty is very important.

What I like: Loyalty, honesty, kindness, intelligence, and a great sense of humor are most important to me. Someone I can trust myself with.

What I don't like: Pessimism, poor attitude, bad manners, secretive, unwilling to make sacrifices when needed.

Honesty, general kindness... Doing doing anything too stupid, or "shady," and several other things..

Most my friends are smarter than me too. Gwarh.

As for a girl, looks don't really matter, (Even though the one that I have now is very, very sexy,) nice, fairly quiet, (Willing to open up though is a must,) and a few other things are what I'm into.

"In a partner; I want somebody who is honest, compassionate/considerate, intelligent and has a sense of humor, AND... supportive."

I agree with Tarale on this part. I´d really appreciate if she was into gaming too. If she woudln´t be good at the games I like, I´d gladly teach her. People works better together if they´ve similar interests.

I´d like her to be somewhat cute but I mostly see that as a bonus.

Friends don´t have to be cute. That´s not what friends are for at all. The most important thing is that you can have fun with them. Intelligence doesn´t hurt either. Most of my friends are into gaming so that´s a good thing.

I also like friends to be honest.

If I'm actually looking for a serious girlfriend as opposed to the usual slut on the street then there are a number of things that I would like them to have. Firstly they have to be honest and caring. I also prefer it if they are not self centred. They don't have to be amazingly nice to everybody but they should be kind. My problem like randle's is the fact that poeple can put on mask's that show one thing but when in comes to the crunch they can be the complete opposite of who you thought they were.
