Traits that are essential in a mate?

On this list, place the items based on their importance, the most important being at the top. You don't even have to use all of them, just the parts that are important to you.

If you're having trouble deciding, just make sure you're being honest with your answer and try to imagine what you could do without.

-hygiene

-sense of style

-sense of humor

-adventurousness

-attractive body

-mental/emotional maturity

-attractive face

-money/ status

-talents

-honesty

-confidence

-sensitivity

-extroversion

-whatever else is important to you

Those items just aren't on my list (with the exception of maturity, humor, and honesty--maybe some degree of sensitivity too). Here's my list (in no particular order):

- kindness

- integrity

- gentleness

- high intellect

- affectionate

- humor

- faithfulness

- strong moral values

- being family oriented

- loving

- well-educated

- inquisitiveness

- spiritually centered

-emotionally mature

- good conversationalist

- non-violent/good control of anger

There are more, but this is a good start on how I prioritze things.

Top "typical" male & female needs from the book "His Needs, Her Needs" by Willard F. Harley Jr. I found it to be a great generic list to start from for each gender:

His Needs:

- Sexual Fulfillment

- Recreational Companionship

- An Attractive Spouse

- Domestic Support

- Admiration

Her Needs:

- Affection

- Conversation

- Honesty and Openness

- Financial Support

- Family Commitment

Just a note of caution, girls are very disingenuous about their attraction to money. Don't be surprised if they all flat out deny it.
