KNenagh: Everyone is different and their own person and I think you have to see how things are going and if you can get on with someone. I think if someone has to many requirements, it's all about themselves and what they want, and not what 2 people can become as a couple.
Hope that makes sense.
couldn't agree more most people probably lucky if they share 50% of someone else`s interests
Dovetail921: As far as what happened with the 2 companions I've found who fit said list, one of them fit most of it for a year and a half until he cheated then lied to my face about it, and the other I still see. I'm poly amorous and this is not a secret in my life.
It would help if you click "quote" in the top right before responsing.
I find your thread quite interesting. I would say most women are not willing to admit what you have admitted. You portray most men's fantasy of a woman in real life, but is still having issues. Your story is a bit complicated, especially the latter relationship.
One thing I have learnt is that people (women)are all so different and that the best way to learn from a woman is to listen to what she says. Some women are very private about themselves, so life becomes a quest of trying to figure them out.

But Lonely that is what makes us all interesting in trying to figure us out.Wouldn't it be a totally boring feat if you could?

I don't think so. I have found that it is best to read the instruction manual first. Then the real fun begins. Have you ever had a piece of equipment with several dials and thing-a-ma-jigs and not know what they do?
How many of us take full advantage of what our computer, word or excel program, etc. can do, for example? Mostly because we have not been introduced to that feature, or have forgotten?

Ccincy: You resemble a man who doesn't like a challenge.
Well, I have learnt to read the manual asap, if available. I just bought a new motorcycle and was having a hard time turning off the indicator light. So I decided to read the manual: problem solved: just press the thing-a-ma-jig. whew!
We can spend our entire lives trying to figure out someone who does not want to be figured out. As the op said: our loss.
I know perfectly what I want. But, I don't have SO MANY expectations from the guy.
In short:
I want we share the goals and values for us as a family, and moral values as individuals. I want we not only love each other but most important like, trust and feel good in the company of each other. We agree to and respect the right and need for both company and privacy, unity as the family and individualism of its members. We do all what's necessary to be there for each other when needed. When things go wrong we are way more into finding solutions than into blaming. We see, appreciate and price the effort of each family member. I want we feel free, welcomed and confident to express ourselves, without the fear of being judged. It's important that over the time we continue to be happy with our intimate live so we need to feel loved and accepted to openly talk about it and work on it when needed. I want to share my life with someone who values his work, does it well and if possible feels satisfied about it but knows it's mostly a mean to provide good quality life for him and his family so he knows how to find the balance.
I want that our joy, craziness and butterflies have solid fundaments. So we enjoy the great weather but we have trust we are prepared for storms and are going to face them together.
I just want a genuine, caring and loving man that I find a spark with and he with me.....I really think that what he has to offer me is not already programmed but is found along the way of our journey together, such as knowing each other and our wants and needs as we work this out...Together
A huge list of what-I-wants is not for me as really loving another is subject to compromise and even change, sometimes giving more than I take....willingly
Love to me is accepting the man as he is and he accepting me as I am
Ironing out any differences should be fun and not a challenge....just wanting to be the very best for that special person and he being same for me
