    Dont know if this has ever been asked here but i thought it would make interesting reading.

    for me it has to be a sense of humor and I oviously have to be attracted to them and I also like them to be career focused and not just take any job for the sake of it.

    In order:
    Smart
    Funny
    Not as hard as she lets on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,122 ✭✭✭LadyJ


    Someone with a bit of life experience and emotional maturity(/intelligence).

    He must have a good sense of humour and have a sweet side to him. Also,he must be adventurous in bed and confident in himself.

    Lastly,and most obviously,I need to find him sexy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 232 ✭✭lemon_of_old


    Wit, positivity, enthusiasm, and the ability to talk nonsense with me for hours. If he's a looker, sure, all the better. :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,958 ✭✭✭✭RuggieBear


    intelligence


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,335 ✭✭✭Cake Fiend


    Nice cans.






    Oh yeah, and one of those personality things, whatever.

    Honesty, generousity, witty & attractive!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,485 ✭✭✭✭Ickle Magoo


    Intelligence, sense of humour, honesty, mutual attraction, common sense, generosity, sexual/emotional maturity....I'm sure there is more....:o :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,230 ✭✭✭scojones


    Intelligence, good sense of humour.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,324 ✭✭✭Alter-Ego


    A hole and a heartbeat tbh.

    The hardest thing to find: someone you can be yourself around, both your ugliest and most luminous selves.

    When your heart is burning what else can be a balm but that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,129 ✭✭✭Nightwish


    Wit, intelligence and someone who shares my passions...and I've found him *gloats* :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,561 ✭✭✭Rhyme


    Intelligence, a personality i can get on with, some semblence of a sense of humour and a good talker.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,458 ✭✭✭CathyMoran


    Intelligent, kind, funny, someone who accepts me for who I am (and I for them), someone who believes in me (and me in them)...I found him years ago but am only realising how truely wonderful he is now...I love you S!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,067 ✭✭✭L31mr0d


    my watch!... ooh, sorry, bad taste?

    seriously though, I don't wear a watch :D and I look for a person to be the exact opposite of me, so that the things i'm crap at she's great at, and she appreciates all the things i'm good at because she isn't, also we have to have the same end goal in life, the way we get there is always open to negotiation, but its important that we are both looking in the right direction... ohh and junk in the trunk on the scale of vida guerra ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    She would definitely be quiet, smart and be a relaxed kind of person. Shed have to be a bit of a laugh too and like going out two.. maybe three mi wadis with me and my mates. It would be cool if she liked my family too, and my dog. If you dont love him I dont want to talk to you.

    I could never be with a woman who smoked, was excessively loud, drank too much, hated the things I like, or had any really bad habits like swearing and being meqn to people. Not being in a coma would be a plus as well.

    But then I'll probably end up with someone from my 'never' list', my 'ideal woman' sounds a bit boring:confused:

    My penis? /haw haw


    It's a very long list unfortunately.
    My hormones cut that list real short from time to time though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,698 ✭✭✭InFront


    Theres something about that face that says 'i dont have a penis'

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Dragan


    1) Be laid back.....i'm a laid back guy and i need a laid back girl
    2) She must like metal music, horror films and a good book.
    3) Has to be her own person.....i have gone out with girls who have let the opinions of others rule their life....what their friends thought, their parents thoughts, what I thought....it's not important....if she can be happy being her then i will be very happy being with her!
    4) Enjoy the odd spliff
    5) Have a good sense of humour.....self depreciation is the best form of humour, if you can't look at yourself and chuckle then your doing something wrong!!!

    Thats pretty much it, i won't pin down looks, because i never know what "look" will attract me next, but is the above really so much to ask?? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    She must have the ability to start a good thread and if shes been banned once or twice before from certain forums then that can be extremely sexy too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,921 ✭✭✭✭Pigman II


    I don't conciously look or a have a particular set model/idea.

    A good partner (much like good music) will eventually find you. Also like good music you shouldn't limit yourself to particular characteristics. You might never know what you're missing by limiting yourself to what you're comfortable with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    Class, style, wit, intelligence, and the ability to eschew all of them for a laugh; an open mind; opinions of her own; a sense of wonderment and magic; a libido to match my own; a social conscience; a spirit of adventure; taste in music and movies (if not similar to mine, stuff with merit); a body that leaves me drooling and a smile that melts my heart.

    What do you mean I'm fussy? :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,967 ✭✭✭✭Zulu


    Class, smarts, and a really really nice ass.

    attractiveness, and someone who compliments me ftw


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 111 ✭✭punky


    Men should look for someone a bit less attractive than they are. But not too much. If a girl is better looking than the bloke, she's more likely to be a bit of a bitch and she may be quite shallow. Also, a girl who's not as good looking as her fella will really appreciate him more and not want to go looking elsewhere. This means that the bloke won't be consumed by the jealousy that men with beautiful partners often have.

    As for women, I guess they should look for someone who isn't completely immature, incompetent or someone who isn't messed up on alcohol or drugs. And stay away from bastards who're likely to shag around or at the least go for a reformed bastard who's wrestled with his conscious and has given up shagging around.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,130 ✭✭✭✭Kiera


    Honesty, intelligence, must be as silly as me and also must be able to put me in my place (not all the time tho)

    Usually I would say a sense of humour and obviously a decent personality would be the main things really but my current girlfriend has not only a great sense of humour but a liking of computer games (Battlefield 2 and Unreal Tournament!), gore/horror films, metal music, amongst other things not typically associated with your average female so quite frankly I feel like the luckiest guy in the world, as corny as that sounds...

    A love of computer games on the playstation and watching "classic" movies certainly does put a girl in her own league. though obviously they must know they have to lose alot while playing the games. and non of that "slow down" **** in a racing car game for them to catch up.

    I look for personality first but it has to be some one who can take a slagging and give one too because that is how I flirt and they have to have a little bit of a bad boy in them.

    Looks are second but they are still important i have to be attracted to him physically if anything is going to happen.

    Next a healthy size u no what!!! because that is my perference cause I have had one or two let downs on that front they had two of the above but total let down in the bedroom department.

    Of course I had a Coyote Ugly Sunday Morning I woke up and lying in bed beside me was the uglyiest man in the world with a huge grin on his face, I freaked out and ran into another room and then he proceeed to tell everyone in the whole house that he shagged me and he decided to stay the whole day cause he is a friend of one of my house mates and I thought maybe I was attracted to him cause of his personality but he was very annoying to everyone the whole day, then he got drunk and told everyone that i insulted him by asking him to use his fingers cause they were bigger and he called me a slapper and said I was gagging for it but I can't remember any of it. It was the most horrible experience of my life so always stick to what you look for in a partner other than that you'll just end up unhappy after all it is your own personal perference.
