Shared interests, although not necessarily all of them. Humour, interesting, intelligent. Likes music, going to local gigs.

Genuine kindness, empathy, and humor to name a few.

Mutual physical attraction, shared interests, intelligent communication, shared values, openness, trust, comedic banter, and sexual compatibility.

Sapiosexual person here... So what I expected is harmony. Think alike, act alike, want the same things in life, in bed, everywhere...

Kind, considerate, non manipulative! Not sure why those traits seem so underrated...

Warmth , humour , tolerance cooperation and copulation !

Someone who "gets" you and vice-versa. You can't explain it in any way other than you have each other's backs. Oh yeah, and you have the hots for each other. It's got to be the best combination of both.

Just go with your gut and be spontaneous

Shared interests, background, culture, and beliefs. But if a male romantic interest wants to be with me, he will have to pull his weight, have my back, be faithful, and be a financial advantage, or I don't want to bother with him.

Anyone who asks me on a date then expects me to pay for myself will never be contacted again. I am likely to tell him off and walk away if he were to try it, but nobody ever has.

Shared interests is the number one for me. Yes, I know couples that are happy going their own ways, and still living under the same roof. Not for me.

Before I lost my with we shared our passion for steam locomotives (she was a fully qualified locomotive mechanic, steam and diesel), Flying, I was the pilot and she was a licensed Aircraft Mechanic (A&P, IA), Cats, Cooking, Reading, travel and before she became ill, wine.

No, I will never find another like her, but it would be nice to have some who enjoyed travel, reading, and wine, and tolerated my other passions. At 73, sex? Interesting thought, let's start with cuddling and see where it goes...

I am a Sapiosexual, that is primarily attracted to the mind, hence a meeting of minds, without that it is a vaccum. With it everything seems possible.

Sex is important, but if she cannot hold my attention through conversation then its a dead end. I have dated women from every socio-economic group that one can imagine so I have explored. I have not found TWO alike and thats part of the excitement.
