In guys I look for understanding and sensitivity. I also look for tall, quiet guys with nice hair! Gotta have good hair... and sneakers. Gotta wear good sneakers (don't ask) and who have similar interests with me.

In girls I like long hair and gorgeous eyes. They have to understand me and be affectionate. They have to be calm, sweet, and gentle. And they musn't break my heart.

In guys I look for someone who is:

understanding and that I can talk to, sometimes its hard for me to open u about things but when I do he has to be able to be there for me

smart, this is a big one to me...I'm not saying he has to be a genious but I really dont want a dumb jock type guy

sensitive, i want a guy thats not always trying to be tough...if im going to be able to open up to him i expect the same back

physical things:
tall
soft brown eyes
dark hair
nice legs and butt
muscular (but not overly-ripped)
nice smile

Hmm...well, nice hair; excellent hygiene; not a sex-maniac; intelligent; gentle; understanding of my sometimes strange behavior...I jump to conclusions, get lonely, get angry, etc; not a smoker; not a heavy drinker; no druggies; decent wardrobe; not an insufferable *******; a good sense of humor...

if there's actually a guy out there like that, I'll faint.

Nope.

I want a girl with a good personality, sense of humor, and a good heart. I don't want her to be too emotional either. I know this sounds horrible, but I don't want to listen to a girl whine about why life sucks 24/7.

With looks, I just want them to look clean and healthy.

:rofl: I saw something about this lady's long toenails on Ripley's Believe It or Not once. Said she could only wear open-toe sandals -- no socks! That would drive me bonkers! Also, when Guinness World of Records used to have a primetime TV show on Fox in the 90's, they had something about this one guy who hadn't clipped his fingernails since 1952. :crazy: And I'm not sure if it was on Ripley's or Guinness, but they also talked about another woman who had pretty long fingernails -- not as long as that guy's though, but it was still really long.

I'm impartial when it comes to things like hair, eye and skin color, but the one girl I really like is a brunette with brown eyes. Weight and height aren't priorities, but the only girl I've ever really liked is pretty tall, pretty skinny, and just plain pretty.

You could pierce your brain if someone bumped you! And those toenails - her bedsheets must be in shreds! She can't be married - it would be like sleeping with a cougar!
