Anyone I date (or more) must:
be squeaky clean
have a great smile
have a twisted sense of humor

like animals
NOT be a morning person
like to pick off at a moment's notice for a far-off destination or weekend fling
be a good kisser
tolerate my habits, tastes, and tendencies
not have nasty table manners
be able to conduct themselves in polite company when necessary
be able to raise hell
know the difference when to do the last two
not freak out when I break out the mirrors and the dildos
let me be the pretty one

Next...

Oh, you scary evil twin of mine, I can't find a single point there that wouldn't fit on my own list of 'minimum requirements'. :rolleyes:

But I do have to add that they should also be:

-intelligent and self-confident
-able to show and communicate emotions
-possessed of some linguistic ability
-able to comprehend cultural and historical allusions at the drop of a hat
-willing to accept that I need some space to call my own sometimes, if only for an evening
-non-heterophobic (i.e. no constant "oh, straights get to... blah blah blah" whingeing)
-loaded with irony and the ability to self-deprecate
-talkative and willing to laugh during sex, because silence ain't gonna keep my interest for more than a lone shag.

I read sorcerer’s original list and then Alex8’s list. It got me around to thinking that if one of the requirements on the list were not that it be a female I would have to hop on a plane. Each of the requirements is something that I expect from my partner and something that I like to believe that I offer. I would like to add that she can’t be overly eager. I know it sounds wrong, but I used to (and do again) work part time in a bar and sex cannot be the basis of (most) relationships.

Keeping that in mind I will add that I do not tolerate alcohol abuse and would prefer if they did not reek of cigarettes. Near the top of the list has to be loyalty and trust. I want to trust them and I want them to trust my loyalty (I refuse to give up every female friend I have just because I have been seeing them for a month.)

well, for starters, anyone i "see" must never, ever use the word "date" if they intend to enjoy the pleasure of my company again.

:biggrin1:

Rock, if you take her back to your place does she still charge you by the hour?

No, you cannot handcuff me
I don't like being bitten in odd places

Tsk, that's you off my list of 'potentials' on 3 counts immediately :rolleyes:

Yes Alex, every one of your more intelligent points as well. We're too much alike...way too much. :biggrin1:
