What do you consider the bare minimum for the opposite sex when dating in terms of how they should treat you?

Bare minimum in terms of personality, behaviour in the relationship, how they treat you, etc.

[caitycat21]

The bare minimum for me would definitely be someone that treats me well, no one is perfect but generally you want to build someone with someone who's actually willing to grow and work through problems in a relationship so a mans actions always speak louder than his words

[Apple1996]

Masculinity/acutally acting like a man, hygiene, being kind/empathetic, having emotional intelligence, strength, provider mindset, being generous, has to like receiving bjs

@HawkPerception thanks fo MHO! This was a good question so im a bit surprised you didn't get more answers

[HawkPerception]

No need to say thanks 😊 I give MHO when I like the answer, simple as that.

And yeah I rarely get a lot of people answering my questions, so it's expected 😂

I don’t like saying bare minimum I don’t want to look at someone as if they are bare minimum standards either we are meant to be or we aren’t. But without getting too deep. Strong morals. Values. Honor. Integrity. Kindness.

You can’t go around letting someone treat you like shit. Demand things from you without having anything to offer in return.

HP, The bare minimum in terms of what? Their values/character or dating-related tasks/expectations?

[Chazmatazz269]

Respect and appreciation are the bare minimum.

[alli-112]

1. Basic understanding of safety, consent, what abuse is and how to not commit it

2. A reasonable degree of self-awareness and a willingness to take responsibility where appropriate

3. The ability to communicate on emotional issues clearly and respectfully (at least most of the time, no body's perfect)

4. Ability to hold a conversation, express genuine interest, and communicate about themselves

[DangerouslyCute]

his mind :D

I don't have expectations like that... or we get along, feel compatible, and have a good time together... or not...

I assume there are billions of factors that depend on the personality of your partner and with one person can be important... but with a different person they are not... :D

[queenofcardio]

He's respectful. Doesn't talk to me in a demeaning manner

[HawkPerception]

Is the bedroom a deal breaker with that?

[queenofcardio]

Haha no that's hot

[Gwendoline]

For first date minimum coffee, actually Ice-cream on a date is highly underrated.

To be actually dating i guess exclusivity. You can't be dating others at the same time, like there can't be overlap.

I guess for serious dating I liked that my man was older, more mature, more experienced in life and had such patience for me. There was also that spark. We talked every day about everything.

[MannMitAntworten]

Ice cream is underrated.

[serious]

I have lots of self respect and I am intolerant towards many things. Hence the woman should be respectful and also should be mature and not try to play manipulative mind games with me.

[Yoursweetgirl]

Good manners and direct communication.
I'd also expect for them to care and do me favors.
Being smart is also bare minimum for me, not like smart smart but my level smart.

I hold myself to those standards too so don't come for me. 😁😁

[PeachyPie93]

Just be nice, have some romance, be a good kisser and be loyal..

[trumpetplayerforlife]

I expect flowers for every occasion and I need lots of attention lol I'm honest with men I cost a lot to keep happy

[HawkPerception]

EXPECT flowers every occasion wow 😂

[HawkPerception]

Good luck 🫡

[trumpetplayerforlife]

I'm married and am a trophy wife i don't pay any bills I work so I can go shopping so I did great lol

[Zack-Bann]

Here’s one that’s truly bare minimum:
That she showers regularly


I can’t be with a smelly partner
And naturally I wouldn’t allow myself to be smelly either

[sirderpsalot123]

Reciprocating effort and no abuse of any kind - physical, mental, etc.

[linguistrosey]

The three C's. Commitment. Communication. Compromise

[Lunatic1]

I think the bare minimum would be a nontoxic personality, respect, decency and honesty

[LiamJHayden]

Bring peace and be faithful. She does those, I can overlook a whole lot of minor annoyances.

[beenherebefore]

Kindness and respect.

[chrissykerdock]

at least dinner if he wants a blowjob

[dustybiker2]

At basics. Respect.

[MannMitAntworten]

Ice cream is underrated.

[MannMitAntworten]

Lord…supposed to post under someone and not be its own response.

[Panthero80]

I want the maximum, not the minimum.

[robocop666]

Turn up on time.

[sage2021]
