Looks:

Tall
Athletically built - a little on the heavy side is good
Broad shoulders (veeeeeeeeeeerryy sexy)

I don't mind about race, hair or eye color

Personality:

Talkative
Caring
Independent
Has similar views and interests to my own (I don't mean I want someone who will agree with me whatever I say, but we should have roughly the same outlook on life. For example, I'm never going to get on well with a right wing dude who believes women should be nurturers and facial piercings are a sign of mental illness :))
Likes animals
Doesn't want children
High sex drive

For me, the gulf between want and need is immense. They are, for me, practically polar opposites. They are synonymous with free will and the lack thereof. Need is at the root of that which we cannot control, have no choice over: breathing, eating, etc. Well, we do have a choice not to breath or eat, but the alternative is so horrific to most that really does not represent a choice at all.

Want by contrast, is the root, the heart of free will. It has nothing to do survival and everything to do with our own individual desires and pleasures. It is all about choice.

I don't want someone who needs me, because I don't want someone dependent upon me, reliant upon me, so devoid of her own personality, goals or ambitions that she might forsake her own desires to remain with me. I have no time for a person who feels she must be with me because she has no choice, because she feels there is no one else for her.

I WANT a woman who WANTS me. A woman who is able to satisfy her own needs, who has her own ambition and drive and desires...physicial, mental, emotional. She is a person who could presumably have other suitors, and perhaps has, but after all that, she has CHOSEN to be with me, because I satisfy her desires, however important or capricious they may be.

Great post. :)

That's how I feel too. I would like someone who doesn't need me, but has chosen me, because I did something to earn his attraction.

interesting exercise. i think it could be helpful as long as a person didn't use it like a checklist. extreme specificity in preferences will lead to fewer potential soulmates making it through the gauntlet.

sometimes love is irrational and can't be contained by lists...

yes they have to have a pulse.
another thing i would like in a partner is 206 bones, so i need them to show me their x-rays before they get to the next stage.
