"My wife laughs are literally everything. Sometimes she watches a show on her lap top in our room and I hear her cracking up from down the hall. Absolutely love it."
"One of the main reasons I started dating my current girlfriend was because she accidentally spilled popcorn in my car after our first date. Profusely apologized, asked if she could clean it up—car is a POS so I didn’t care.
Got home. She texted me apologizing again.
I dunno why but her caring about spilling popcorn in my sh#tty car made me realize hey, maybe she can care about me too."
"Accountability. If she can openly admit when she’s wrong or that she f@#ked up that’s attractive as it shows maturity and ability to judge yourself impartially and it means you are less likely to repeat the mistake. This also means what you feel for her is not only love, it’s respect, which is just as important"
"Optimism. I’m a bit of a pessimist at times. I fall into nihilistic thinking a lot. Good to have someone who can look at our future, in a positive light."'
"I find a woman’s voice to be one of the best factors in determining if I’m attracted to a woman."
"Not exclusive to girls, but having a hobby/interest that they are very knowledgeable/passionate with. Even if it’s something super benign like painting nails or baseball, I just love people who can ramble on about their interest- especially if I’m not into it, it’s like peaking into another world."
"Eat a full kebab with no shame lol"
"Honestly, my girlfriend of 5 years and I are splitting up. There are going to be a lot of things I miss, and a lot of things I don’t miss.
But the number one fear I have is going back to being with people who can’t be a teammate. My ex is a FANTASTIC teammate.
Being with someone who can tackle things with you, and not someone who you have to carry through the barrage of life, is one of the best feelings in the world."
"Someone with equivalent levels of apathy and laziness, but about areas of life that compliment my own apathy and laziness.
That way one of us will always let the f@#king dog out or put the kettle on. But I don’t feel too guilty for saying soffit, Saturday sofa day. I’m not getting dressed. Been married 16 years. Perfect."
"I would probably be happier with a “less intelligent” companion is she just loved Life and was a happy person, versus some Einstein-level super genius who was a pessimist or just unpleasant to be around.
And I wouldn’t dare over-estimate my own intelligence to the point where I would label other people as intelligent or not.
Give me a fun-loving, emotionally stable, compassionate woman."
"But for me, the sexiest thing a woman can do is be calm – not calm as in quiet, as in calm when sh#t goes sideways or something unexpected happens. Having someone who is reliable and stable as a partner is so crucial in life."
"The ability to listen. To really listen."
"My last relationship ended due to a lack of communication. I remember one time she looked at me and said, “You weren’t even listening, were you?” And I remember thinking, “That’s a weird way to start a conversation.”"
"I love that my wife enjoys hiking, it gets me out of the house. I love that we have similar interests."
"Critical thinking skills are hot"
"If she’s got a dark sense of humor."
"How they treat themselves (self-care), how they treat others (friendships), how they work with others (collaboration), what they enjoy learning (curiosity), and what they enjoy doing (creativity)"
"A bit of a simple one here, but I love when a girl can sing. My wife claims she can’t can’t carry a tune in a bucket, but when she sings it’s beautiful to my ears. I’ve been a musician my whole life and feel I have reasonably good judgment on vocal quality. When we have a couple of drinks I’ll get my guitar out and can occasionally convince her to sing a few songs with me. It’s one of my favorite things we do."
"I like when they like me"
non-drinker... let's not get carried away!
Someone once asked me if my wife drank. I said that she’s Irish. They said never mind.
