The minimal qualities someone has to have before you'd consider dating them?

a girl that likes girls
minimally attractive, cares about basic hygeine and health (i am not picky)
sense of humor
knows not to wear a cartoon tshirt and cameltoe cotton shorts and flip flops to an interview
likes animals and people
preferably not a conspiracy theorist nut type

 

The list is too long.

 

a man
scrummy arse
still breathing

not to much to ask for is it

 

I couldn't care less about physical appearance, but personality wise they'd have to be:

Kind,
Open minded,
and Relatively intelligent - not necessarily academically.

 

My preferred qualities aren't too much to ask for, I try not to get too wrapped into finding the perfect person with a laundry list of characteristics. But the following are general things I look for.

- Male
- Must be versatile
- Around the same height as me
- Average body type
- Not more than 5 years younger or older than I am

Everything else deals with their personality, which i won't get into. But preferably, I would love to be with someone who loves to travel just as much as I do and sees everyday as an adventure awaiting to be journeyed. I also prefer someone with a good hygiene and confidence. Humor isn't important to me at all, compassion and love is much more important.

 

Mental qualities: smart (not necessarily having done well in school but having a desire to learn and solve problems, though those often go hand in hand), at least a small sense of humor, nice.
Physical qualities: probably male, top.
Physical qualities that would be swell: taller than I am (I'm 5'10" though , so that's not too likely), nice hair, athletic.

 

- Male
- Of legal age (Nice try, Chris Hansen)
- Still breathing (Although if men were to become scarce I guess I could turn to ...)
- Preferably a top
- Doesn't get upset at my sense of humor. ("Why did the chicken cross the road? Doesn't matter, he was flattened on impact. ... Honey, where are you going?")

 

I draw the Line at them being alive and Legal.

 

A guy that likes guys, can bathe and dress appropriately, respectful, doesn't text while eating, has *some* manners, loves my sense of humor.

 

guy
living and breathing
respectful
around my height
average weight
takes care of himself

:roflmao: :roflmao:

 

- Shorter than me
- Beautiful eyes
- Sense of homor
- Kind
- Faithful
- Smart
- Tolerant
- Respectful

That's all that comes to mind right now. And about that bottom and top thing, I think it's great to swich. I don't get it, why for so many people it's so important.

 

Male, single, and willing to go on a date.

Not that I'm desperate just that the point of dating is to figure out if we have anything in common and if I like you. So yeah there really isn't a lot of criteria for me to want to go on a first date that is usually something that is set up to be short and cheap like lunch at McDonalds. (unless I find something about you unsettling) If we click we can sit and visit for hours if we both have time to do so. If not all I've lost is 15-20 minutes of time that I would have probably spent eating lunch anyway.

To actually get a second date there has to be something about your personality that I like.

 

Intelligent
Caring
Able to carry a conversation
Similar interests
Enjoys playing board games
Willing to try new things
Some sexual compatability

 

I like Redneck's answer.

I would be more likely to not go on a second date with someone who had qualities I didn't like, rather than not give them a shot at all based on stuff I see at first glance. I have preferences, sure, but as long as he's not an obvious jerk and he's single (would not get involved with someone in an open relationship) that's about it.

Now after we talk if he turns out to be racist/sexist and hates animals, he won't hear from me again.

 

Physical attributes
Male (obviously)
Around the same age as me
Good physique.
Top

Other attributes
Intelligent
Atheist
Logical
Cynical, sarcastic, British sense of humour.

What can i say? i have high standards.

 

Hmmm, I guess you'd probably have to be a girl haha, first and foremost.

With the looks I don't really mind, I guess as long as you're attractive to me, but that's subjective. With personality I guess, she has to at least be a kind person, someone who is pretty positive for the most part with a good sense of humor. It'd be great if she had some interests she pursued too, eg something she's pretty passionate about and gets excited about, I love that in a girl.
