As a 22-year-old woman who is not unpretty and has a lot to offer, it occurs to me that I have the opportunity to be selective. This list will exist to remind me what I want in a man and that nothing good will ever come of settling. (That's right, Mike, I was settling for you anyway. So fuck you

Only one?

[dhyvd]

Thanks for posting this list, it inspired me to think about what I want in not only a sexual mate/partner, but also in less intimate/non-sexual partners or friends, as well.

However, I grew up in a culture of under-stated poly-aime (loving many partners simultaneously), and this is better for all involved because the perfect partner is often found by distilling components of two or three people.

Why settle for a style which tends to mess up everyone, even (or expecially) royalty, of focusing on only one super person?

Not saying you should settle, or even be formally poly-amorous(sp?), but, sometimes a friend can be romantic, and a lover can be good at making love, but horrible at being a friend.

Good luck on your people-hunting, in any case; I know you should get exactly what you rely on the universe to give!

While I have considered being poly-amorous before, I really don't think it's for me. While, I wouldn't mind sharing myself between two people, I wouldn't want my partners to be seeing anyone besides myself. Since that isn't really fair, I feel it wouldn't work.

As far a straight up 3-way relationship, I have considered it and the circumstances would have to be just so for that to work at all.
