I need someone who wants to make the world a better place. I cannot be with someone who is selfish. Our species can evolve to be altruistic.

Must have a sense of humor. It will help get you through all the ups and downs. Because I truly believe Laughter is the best medicine.

Number two, intelligence.

A really good sense of humor. I was going to say 'intelligence', but a good sense of humor absolutely requires intelligence, so my bases are covered.

Hard to limit it to one but I guess many things can spring from emotional health/intelligence.

Level 6

Patience and a willingness to compromise.
Recognition that no-one is perfect and that we all have struggles that we must work through.
A mate would need to have the willingness to lift a person up as they work through the things that they are struggling with and to have the ability to see, acknowledge, and to become accountable and have the willingness to work toward modifying their own flaws as well.
