None of the above. Being able to see things from a reason based perspective and emotional stability.

Honesty, honor and grace.

Genuine kindness adds a layer of beauty, no matter the physical features.
Ambition is good, but not to the detriment enjoying your loved ones.
Money makes life easier, but a lot of fun can be had for very little money, when enjoying the company of another, so definitely not a requirement.

For me when i met the women i knew that someday would be my wife, was the respect that she had for her family, love her wholesomeness, loved the fact that she was a lady in all respects, but most of all i loved that she didnt play games, like some women i know. For me at the time, i respect her because she was a virgin, but then back in 1966 that wasnt unusual. It didnt hurt that she was also so beautiful, I guess it worked out, this May we have been married for 52 years. I set my priorities high, but it was all worth it.

When you get to my age and retirement, ambition is probably or should be, out of the picture. I am getting to the point that what I look for doesn't seem to matter anyway, so I will pass on sharing my priority here. I also think that many people, including some on these boards, are less than honest about what they really are looking for in a partner for an LTR because they are lying because they don't want to look shallow or else in denial about how they really choose and evaluate potential partners. I think this is especially true regarding online dating and somewhat less true regarding who the meet IRL.

Kindness, intelligence, sense of humor, sense of responsibility

Neither looks, ambition nor money are the measure of a person. Are they kind? Do they treat all people with respect and honor them, regardless of class or color? We are inculcated with the value that the more people earn and own, the more worthy they are of respect. We’ve internalized these teachings and contribute every day to a society bereft of love and morality. In addition to kindness, I seek someone who enjoys a physical touch, not simply in bed, but as a demonstration of love and affection.

Intelligence, kindness, respect, fitness and a great sense of humor. Also, a great lover.

Found it! Ten years younger than me, Bill is a medical doctor. He is extremely fit, hilarious, loving, kind and patient with a private plane. Bill is an extraordinary lover.

I feel lucky.

"Where do you want to go?" he asks. Over the Cascade Mountains where I love to hike.

Intelligence humor looks personality

A sense of humor and sparkling intelligence.

None of the above. I want him to be kind, generous and smart.

Are those the only three choices?
