i'm assuming you mean, what do i want in a long-term partner?

physically, i have some preferences but the only requirement is basic personal hygiene. if you smell, i'm not going to sleep with you. i prefer guys taller than me, so i tend to like them about 6' but i've dated much shorter. i love red hair but brown or black would be fine (blondes don't do it for me but i wouldn't rule it out). not into huge muscles, but i want someone who is capable of my fitness level. i enjoy outdoor stuff like skiing, rafting, hiking etc. i'd like a partner who can enjoy those things with me. at the same time, don't want a guy who can't sit through a movie without running sprints up and down the aisle.

mentally, he needs to be about my intelligence. too high and he makes me feel stupid, too low and i'm having to explain everything to him. and he needs to have his own opinions. i can be very opinionated and i'm very passionate about certain topics. he doesn't have to agree with me, but i want someone who can debate issues and cares enough to have their own ideas and opinions. "yes, dear" men don't do it for me.

emotionally, he's got to be mature. i am looking for a partner to share my life with, not a child to raise. he should want me but be emotionally stable enough that he doesn't need me. he needs to be capable of sharing his feelings and understanding mine (or at least attempting to).

personality is where it's at for me. i want someone who can make me laugh but knows when to be serious. he needs to share the same basic life goals that i have (standard of living, where we live, desire for a family etc) but have his own hopes in life too (professional, educational, recreational).'

oh, and ideally, he won't want to get married
