OK, I'll take a stab at this. In rough order, but the priority can shift depending on the day. ;-)
1. Honorable. This means you can trust him in all matters that matter to do the right thing. Honors his commitments. High level of personal responsibility.
2. Health-minded. This is not muscle-bound gym rat with 6-pack abs. This is someone that respects that the human machine needs good fuel and regular maintenance.
3. Intellectually Curious. This is different than intelligence, although inherent intelligence certainly helps this attribute.
4. Finds Humor in Life. Sense of humor is more that he can make me laugh. This is more about the ability to laugh with me at how ludicrous life can be.
5. Sexy. This one is whatever anyone makes of it.
6. Optimistic. Not cheery all the time, but just the basic belief that life is good if we let it be.
7. Thinks I'm Smart and Sexy. It seems like an obvious thing, but you'd be amazed how much of an impact this one makes.
8. Solvent. Sort of related to honorable, but mostly this one is just the usual "I don't want to have to support him".
9. Communicator. Doesn't always mean sitting and baring your soul all the time, but it does mean speaking up when something is going wrong, using all forms of communication to show feelings, and hearing the other person.
10. Fun. This is someone I want to take a 12 hour drive with, because he's fun and I enjoy his company. Even a trip to a grocery store can as amusing as a full-out date with the right person.
