someone who has a mind and thinking of his own .. not wanting to follow the league .... a combination of a lot of qualities ... but to begin with intelligent , simple and kind.
Rosana Dana: What do you look for in a partner. Not the usual things, such as physical attraction and a sense of humor. But what kind of character traits do you look for in a mate?
You can if you're someone like Paula Yates, who didn't look too bad after giving birth to 3 daughters with Bob Geldorf and 1 daughter with Michael Hutchence.
Yeah, no kidding. It doesn't matter who you are, it still sucks to get a big fancy present... only to open it up & find a wisp of shredded paper inside! You just can't dress up those details~

ermm...... found what I was looking for... presently recomputing my needs as I certainly didn't get what I bargained for....
skwidwurd: compatibility! physical attraction nor love is enough. no matter how attracted you are to someone or how much love you feel, if there's no compatibility then it'll never last. JMO
Exactly! If I like tomatoes, he must too. If I like Po tot oes, he must too...
Kindness and respect for other's. Strength that is able to bend, yet not break. We 'compliment' each other. Share interests but not glued to the hips. Likes children (to include my own), Knows when to say, "oh, chit, lets get out of here and go for a ride" Intellegence that has varied interests.
If and when I'm ready to accept someone in my life again let me answer this question from opposite angle..
What I dont expect: - I cannot expect some one who is handsome looking as Mr Universe..but some one with decent looks. - I cannot expect them to be totally compatible with my thinking and behavior. differences are bound to crop up. So I expect someone with whom the differences are manageable.
Now let me tell you what I expect: I expect some one who is capable of loving me and my family as his own. I expect some one whom I can respect for some good quality of his. I expect someone who has observed people and their typical behaviours in the past, so that he knows what is relatively good and what is relatively bad in our current world. I expect some one who is sensible in taking daily routine decisions
Finally, I would expect someone in whose presence I feel happy most of the time and with whom I can talk anything under the sky.

Someone I can argue with, but get over it with also.
Someone who doesn't tell porkie pies.
Someone I can lay my head on their lap with, and feel totally secure and protected in their arms.
