Me, I love a woman who is like-minded, won't compare me to maniacs, knows a lot of esoteric info (like I do!), and is willing to love sports....... so, yeah, someone meek, yet outgoing fits me.
Physically speaking? Preferably someone slightly taller than me (I'm 5' 9"), well-toned and has a sweet voice to accompany it!

Feel free to talk to me, if you wish.

Every day is a gift- cherish it!

The attributes I am attracted the most to are a strong will, independence and a healthy, active lifestyle. She has to be able to accept that I need my space and time for myself, and having the same interest while still being able to do things seperately would be ideal. When it comes to looks, I am not that stingy. Most people's faces look alike to me, so I am more looking for overall build. If I had the choice, I'd like a tall women (I'm about 6'3, so something around 6'0 would be awesome... for some reason, I don't like the prospect of being intimate with someone that can look up my enormous nose all the time.), but other than that, I don't have "a type"... if a woman is energetic, fun and likes the way she looks, that is all I can ask for. Only dealbreaker would be extemism of any kind, be it political or relgious. While she has an oppinion, I don't wanna spend my life with someone who runs around and tries to rub it inti people's faces.
Well the first thing is, her body must be attractive to me. There I said it.
The rating goes up if her voice is attractive
Even better if she has a eyes that flirts with me all the time, or at least knows how to flirt in a woman way.
If I can connect with her, e.g. she doesn't have her firewall up all the time. It gets tiring to initiate the conversation all the time. It would be nice if she can let me know. I get tired chasing all the time and will probably lose interest soon. We can talk about things with similar interests. Actually interested in what the other person has to say.

Faithfulness, devotion, caring. I like bigger women, not BBW's, but on the heavier/huskier side. I have a preference for redheads since my first was a redhead. Fiancee is blonde, first time i'd ever seen blonde pubes...totally awesome.

I'm not sure I can say with 100% certainty. I've been attracted to a few different people who have been very different from each other in a lot of ways. So I'd like to think I have an open mind and that I'm not looking for any one specific person. I might have some preferences, but they aren't very strong at all.
How someone looks is probably pretty low on my list(perhaps down there with religious and political views), but I think I do have a tendency to go for those with darker hair, eyes, perhaps even skin color. Not to say that I can't be attracted to anyone else, because I have been, but it seems there have been more with these particular attributes that I have been interested in. Guess I should also point out that I'd like someone to find weight as important as I do, but that's more to do with health than appearance. While I think that people should have the right to feel fine with whatever weight they are, personally I've been trying to lose weight along with my parents who have had a few health risks. I feel something like that might cause some kind of resentment or other problems if we didn't see it in the same way.
I don't need to have similar interests. They do help quite a bit; it's been fun playing video games with them or discussing art or writing or music, and it helps if sports never comes up, too. However, they don't need to be exactly the same, and I'd much rather be able to learn about new things that probably are a lot less boring than my own limited interests.
I think I'd like to find someone who doesn't care about gender roles, or who wouldn't tell me to "man up" or expect me to do everything for her just because I'm male. I'd like to be independent and to take responsibility for myself if I ever get to move out of my parents' place, but that hardly has anything to do with being a man. In fact, my gender does not dictate anything about me. So the idea that, because I'm a guy, I should have enough money or power or whatever else to protect the "weaker sex" is ridiculous. If anything, I'd prefer it the other way around, with someone who's almost more maternal, but ultimately I'd want something where we're on equal footing.
Going off of that idea, I think that someone more aggressive might be good for me. Honest, down to earth, and aggressive. I've noticed that those who are too polite or are afraid of hurting me tend to become closed off, and it hurts a lot more when I've found they've lied, so I'd rather have the truth, regardless of what it is. I need someone who is not afraid of doing that.
But then, being open minded is also necessary. I'd rather not be with someone who has prejudices against anyone else. Obviously there couldn't be any sexism, and racism would not be welcome. While I would not be against getting to know anyone religious myself, it seems to me that some take it to extremes and let hatreds toward other religions or people of other sexualities get out of hand, and it looks very ugly. I'm not sure if finding a fellow atheist might be a better idea.
Not sure if there's anything else I could really apply. I'd like to think I'm not too materialistic, so I don't care much for arbitrary things so long as I can feel a real connection to others, and that is not really decided by any rigid rule or anything like that.

Here we go again:
- Attractiveness: as long as she has a beautiful face and a healthy body (as in neither obese nor skinny; she needs to be "curvy"). Kudos if she has "asian eyes" and dark hair (even though the girl I have been in love with until recently is blonde and has big eyes).
- Inquisitiveness: basically, she needs to ask a lot of questions. I am frequently searching for random knowledge and I would be be very interested in a woman who shared this interest with me. I really like when people ask me things (currently, I am helping a friend with a few personal finances questions), even though I usually rant when I try to explain something. Besides, I also ask many questions, which means she would need to have the same information sharing habit I have.
- Intelligence: goes together with the above. I would prefer if she had knowledge in the areas I lack (for example, social skills and common sense), so we could mutually benefit from the aforementioned information sharing.
- Physically active: I will be the first to admit that I have been letting myself go in the last year or so: my house is too cramped up for me to do basic exercises like push ups and sit ups and I spend 13 hours between commuting and working every day, which gives me little time for that. But I still try to do some running while I am commuting. My favorite physical activities are running, hiking, martial arts, swimming and parkour; if she likes any of those, it would be great.
- Common interests: information sharing and physical activity cover pretty much every interest I have, but it would be great if the girl also liked movies, theater, drawing, writing (which is a thing I have not done in years) and video games.
- Tolerance: she need to accept the fact that people are different from each other. This is the single most important requirement of all. I am a very eccentric man, but I have been told multiple times by multiple people that I am very interesting once you get over my weird behavior. There is also the fact that I am a 22 year old man who has never even kissed and, so far, has only fallen in love once in his life (a few months ago). Most women would consider this a dealbreaker.
- Familiarity: the bane of my existence. I can only like somebody once I am familiar with the person. For that reason, online dating and flirting with strangers would never work for me. When I fell in love with a girl, it was because I talked to her every day during 9 months. And before those 9 months, I saw her every day during 6 months until I felt comfortable enough to befriend her. Usually, it takes me 5-6 months to make friends at school/work. After I have one friend, though, it will become progressively easier to talk to other people. I will never understand this.
I think that covers my ridiculously specific requirements. Obviously, I will stay single forever.

I don't care too much about looks. There was a time where I seriously had a blonde fetish, basically (yellow and blue are my favorite colors, though I hate Michigan ) but now I'm open to any hair color. The girl I'm infatuated with right now and can't have is a brunette with these really big green eyes.
I look for intelligence, playfulness, and a willingness to stay inside and do low-stimulation activities. I'm not much for leaving the house. Also, they must be able to understand and tolerate the fact that I am partially deaf, have a speech impediment, and also have Marfan syndrome, scoliosis, and depression. This is really the hardest part because it seems like damn near everybody, man or woman, wants somebody who is practically perfect.

I love women who have that caretaking instinct that the stereotypes say all women are supposed to have.
I'd known my gf for years before we got together. There was a time when I did something stupid and felt very ill for a while because of it. She took care of me, to the point of cooking for me and letting me sleep in her bed for three days. That kindness is what changed my feelings toward her from "friend who's nice to look at" to "gotta be with her."
Aside from that, I like women who have playful personalities.
I usually come off as overly serious, but that's more due to my demeanor than my disposition, if you know what I mean. 99% of the time, I'm laughing on the inside. I like women who encourage that side of me.
