Yakk nailed it dead. We can all have these lists of qualities that we like...but the simple fact is, the dating world is a marketplace where what you have to offer is as important as what you're looking for. There are exceptions to these rules, as "bargains" can be found anywhere, but look around you. People tend to "find their level" when dating and especially when marrying.
That said, when it clicks, it's amazing how many things you thought you wanted, you really don't care much about. I've discovered a lot about myself and my preferences by "dating out of type". You never lose anything (except time and maybe the cost of a meal) by dating anyone. And you might be surprised at how funny that slightly less than petite girl is, or discover that the brainiac is downright annoying.
