In all seriousness, what are you looking for in a woman?

Google turned this up pretty much right away for me BTW. I suspect it may be one of those academia buzzwords that gets kicked around (apparently appropriated from the economics lexicon) but I think it fits.

What I mean is, basically, a woman who thinks all the silly boy stuff you do is cute or even cool. Even if she has no interest in it, she should at least think it's cute or comforting that you care about it.

my thoughts don't represent a very large portion of the demographic you're looking for but I like quirkiness and curiosity a lot. You know, along with the physical stuff.

What kind of quirkiness? And curiosity about what? All things, life etc..?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think of quirkiness as the idiosyncracies that make you you . Hard to explain, but its just the little things that help me recognize who someone is. Of course, I have to like who that someone is... I know this is vague and not really what you're asking for, but as of right now I'm not looking for anything really specific - just whatever I like, I guess. I absolutely love Amelie's quirkiness. And Lucien's too, although not in a romantic way.

And curiosity can be pretty wide- it could be about books, molecular biology, life, whatever. Mainly its a girl's ability to be interested in something of her own volition and her wanting to ask questions and stuff. If this isn't there, I tend to get bored pretty fast.

I'm not really looking for anything. I was just curious as to what you guys are looking for. Everyone has something different that they want. I guess I was just wondering what all the OOTers are looking for out of someone.

[jaffa]

Someone who is intelligent, with the same sense of humour as me, almost.

Quite sarcastic.

Musical.

Preferably hot with glasses.

Tenne:

This is a good question. I bet most people here have no idea. We think we want someone like us, but no woman is like us, so we end up with a whole slew of different types of girl...

I'm probably going to have to start thinking about this soon, (boo single life) so I've been going back over my relationship history and making generalizations about the women that I actually have dated/married and seeing what they have in common. Therefore, what I am looking for in a woman, not ideally but quantitatively is:

Lack of interest in my abilities and ambitions (most important).
Insatiable sexual appetite coupled with demanding idiosyncrasies to the point of impotence-inducing intimidation.
Odd sense of humor that takes a while to crack.
A dangerously escapist whimsy.
Aversion to drinking and smoking (and a desire to force me to quit both).
Great taste in music and movies, but with some traditional chick clunkers thrown in like Fever Pitch and Ani DiFranco.
Good fashion sense, with a bent towards modesty and hip-ness rather than sexuality.
Childish self-interest.
Neediness.
Jealousy.
Credulity.
A big ass.

why do you think i'm running OOT?

no, seriously, i think the idea is that you have to self-police on the macho b.s. rather than be constantly reigned in by your SO. same thing for her. you have to love the stupid parts of each other so that they don't become a grating issue. because everyone is stupid in their own way.

Wrong Thread

[Boris]

An upper class Thai chick between the ages of 25 and 30 who speaks good english.

[Alobar]

intelligence, a quick wit (so obviously a sense of humor), compassioniate, sincere, compatible with me sexually (ie. we both generally want it the same amount, both have the same level of kinky, etc), willing to try new things, makes an effort to share (or at least understand) my interests, has a passion in her life that isnt me (or at least some outlet that doesnt involve me in anyway), and she cant be fat. (Athletic would be nice, but thats rare in my age group)

Not really in any order, and obviously no girl is ever gunna fit someones list perfectly, so girls I end up in relationships with dont have EVERY one of those characterisits, but for the most part they have most all of them. The only one that is a total deal breaker is the fat one...the intelligence once is close, I would never LTR a dumb girl, but I wouldnt drop a girl for being average in the brains department.

[J-Mac]

My sense of humor is hit or miss with girls, so it HAS to click with her in a big way. I have the be the funniest f--king thing she knows.

She must be intelligent, and I mean really intelligent. Two standard deviations from the norm, 1500 SAT-ish, has interesting ideas about everything type of intelligent.

She must be fun, and excite me, at least in the beginning, and must be able to relax.

I must find her attractive, although this is not too demanding since I just like the way women look a lot of the time.

Must love sex. And drinking. And understand poker.

This part is weird, but I've developed an oddly specific type over the years that 80% of my signicant others have exhibited:

Brown hair. Brown eyes. Tan/olive skin (think Israeli/Mediterranean), name that starts with the letter 'A'. 90% of my gf's have had names that started with A, I have no idea why. My mom's name is Anne, FWIW, though she has light skin and black hair.

Anyways, God, that's my order, I'm available for delivery anytime. You know where to find me.

P.S., The 'A' name thing is negotiable. I guess. If you have to. Natalie Portman, for example, would be fine.
