So that is hard and easy. Sometimes you fall for someone that does not hit all the marks.
Ideally - Someone you are attracted to physically and intellectually. Someone smart with whom you can dialog and problem solve. Someone who loves the outdoors, hiking beach or mountain. Someone who enjoys sex and is willing to try new things and generally explore. Someone who will let me cook them a lovely dinner. Hobbies wise, they should enjoy DIY and gardening and also appreciates the art. Last but super important, someone who is kind.
That is an excellent resume...
he is exactly like god: he doesn't exist. i'm not knocking an exercise in imagination but if we pull it down to reality and still look for a perfect mate, no one will qualify and we will die alone. so i am glad you added "virtual."

God doesn't exist...maybe your virtual man doesn't exist either?????
I'm seeking an athletic, intelligent man with a great sense of humor who treats me with respect and kindness. Shared recreational activities are a bonding experience for couples. That's why I want a man who also loves hiking, and only shoots with a camera.
Although I'm a great cook, I'm not willing to do all of the meal planning, preparation and cooking. Everyone loves the magic words: "Dinner is served."
Loving relationships work best when we add a certain spirit, an attitude of goodwill. I wouldn't know a grudge if it mugged me. I miss the tender touch, laughter, conversation, intimacy, teamwork and fun of a committed, loving relationship.
I can see you did some deep thinking on this question....
Yes. I am dating a man who is fit, intelligent, kind and respectful. He also loves hiking. He says I'm wonderful, beautiful, articulate, caring, and highly intelligent.
Thank you, Nick. I edited it periodically. Under things I miss, I previously wrote "sex." The word "sex" triggered sexual messages from man. So, I changed it to "intimacy."
In writing this paragraph, I used the fewest, most potent words:
Skinny dipping at night made me a lifelong sensualist. In August the lake was warm as bath water. Icy cold streams flowed up from the bottom. Swimming after dark through the warm water, I dived down and let the cold streams caress my naked body. The feeling was exquisite.
Men sent crude, sexual messages. So, I downshifted to:
Skinny dipping at night made me a lifelong sensualist. August evenings at the lake were warm as bath water, accentuated by icy cold streams flowing up from the bottom. It was an exquisite experience I long to share.
Nice going...sometimes you have to cater to your audience. @LiterateHiker
