I think people look for the same traits in friends that they would an SO. The reason being that my friends have common interests with me, most of my friends are male, and we always have a good time together. I wouldn't say that someone "acquires traits" once they are in a romantic relationship with someone else, but I do believe the foundation of any relationship is friendship. I think as people meld into a stronger friendship they sometimes tend to meld into one another and form a romantic bond. But again, I think people look for friends with common traits that they would look for in a romantic partner as well. From my own personal experiences, that's just how things have worked out for me.
Hope that helps.
