I think wat matters most for me is someone who can share my dreams and also encourage and support me to be a better person.

Its different strokes for different folks. For some its brains, for others its the backside or the pocket.

But the truth is, you can hard ever get it all in one package.

So if you find most of what you want in one person, my advise is go for that person.

Look for three things
1. one you can stand side by side in public without feeling off the moon
2. one you can quarrel with & settle without hearing it on street / family corners
3. one that won't be fighting with snakes & flying above your bed while you sleep.
DON'T MIND THOSE LOOKING FOR LARGE BOOBS & ASS, ONCE THERE IS A HOLE THAT GETS WET, MOVE ON IF THE ABOVE TRIO ARE SURE

@ UNPHILAZ,

99.98% of women all over the world want their men to call daily or worse still hourly.Its a universal cry so no big deal if she asks.
In as much as we understand that a man needs his space we still want some assurance.To hear you voice is enough to keep us going. Its like recharging us or fueling a vehicle. In extreme situations it could be as a result of insecurity but in normal circumstances we just want assurance and to hear your voice.Thts why we have nothing to say to you when you pick up the call or vice versa. smiley

Me think, the real question should be Who are you and What are you bringing to the relationship? . You look and desire for the perfect person and it turns out you disqualify yourself because of your imperfections tongue

I still need a grenade catcher though cheesy

Foremost, he would have to be a Christian with God the head of his life. He has to know who he is in Christ Jesus. He has to be emotionally ready and mature. The rest Phate you pretty much covered it it. But I can also add, he must be respectful, eccentric with great integrity and family values and morals. He must have a great sense of humor to be compatible with Livedit, share common interests and goals in life.
Re: What Do You Look For When Checking For A Life Partner? by obowunmi(m): 9:57pm On Jun 13, 2011
^^^^ Livedit, I'm curious to know. What will you do if the one you love has erectile dysfunction ?

grin What the?  grin  Where did that question come from?  grin Well, Livedit had a FWB she use to kick it with who had "ED" and it was quite a challenge.  She basically just dealt with it.  He wasn't interested in any of the ideas I had to help him with his "problem", so she wasn't going to force him.  As long as she was satisfied, she was okay with him.  But if MY husband had that problem, then I would want to get down to the root cause of it.  Try to rule out reasons as to why he would be have these problems.  Rather if it's medically, mentally, stress etc.   I wouldn't love him no less or act any differently towards him.  In most cases,  this problem can be fixed.  If it's unable to be fixed, then him and I would have to find just deal with it and find "other" ways to keep Livedit and him happy.   smiley

You guys are backward Jesus this Jesus that I don't think religion should be  relevant when someone is picking up his/her mate people who cling to religion and wear it on their sleeves tend  not to follow the teaching and  are squarely hypocrites
