For me, I dont give a damn about height (my bf is only 56), penis size, or how much money a guy makes.

Things I look for in no particular order:

  1. Genuine kindness. I would never date a rude guy.
  2. Attractive face.
  3. Lives a healthy lifestyle (not saying he has to be physically fit btw).
  4. Not afraid to show feelings
  5. Have ambition


Thats kind of it for me. What about you guys?

Honestly, I don't know. I don't really have a list of requirements, though I don't think I could ever date, say, a racist.

Obviously I have preferences, but if I really liked someone, I think I would tolerate most things.

Not cool to say that about yourself. Youre probably way cooler than you think.

i don't need to be cool though. i just need to stay alive (which my brain makes difficult at times) and do the things that make me happy. dating doesn't happen to be on that list, which means i would probably be a terrible partner

There's nothing wrong with having preferences, it's just funny to have "open mindedness" as a value moments after saying a broad class of people with very varied beliefs within it are all disqualified. Those two things separately are cool but together it comes off pretty funny.

Also I like the implication that your dating partner will kill you if they're conservative

I don't see anything wrong with it

Conservatives are by definition closed-minded

Conservatives at minimum are supporting a rapist who paraphrases Hitler and appointed SCJs that repealed roe v wade. Not to mention project 2025.

It is absolutely not closed minded to immediately reject conservatives as a potential partner.

The stipulation isn't needed, then. If they're that closed-minded then they wouldn't be willing to date you if you aren't conservative, anyway.

A lot of couples are liberal woman - conservative man. Naturally, because men tend towards conservatism more. I know lots of such couples

Can communicate clearly
Can talk about emotions
Able to see and understand other points of view (doesnt mean they have to tolerate bad ones)
Wants to spend time together.
Can work together to find solutions to problems.

One of the huge issues i had recently was someone i really liked, for years. We matched very well in many areas, had similar interests, and passions. Then one day she told me that most foreigners in Japan (where we live) are bad. Im a foreigner. She says oh but youre one of the good ones.

She also told me my boss (the nicest person i have ever met) was using me. I think she said this to drive a wedge between us.

Single conservative men under 40 are by far having the hardest time dating and they complain about it.

This is common sense. You know not all left-leaning people support biden so you should also know the other side has similar dissidents.
Not voting for Biden is enabling Trump and project 2025. I didn't create the scenario but that's where we're at.

somebody that legit appreciates my company and likes pets. The rest we can probably figure out eventually

the only super dealbreaker that comes to mind is if they're some kind of turbo asshat to other people, in which case...they probably wouldn't appreciate my company anyway.

If they've got themselves relatively sorted out that's good but also probably an unfair ask given I'm still figuring things out too

Granted, never even tried. Maybe this is an unfair standard in general. Kinda a hermit.

I don't have like an itemized list per se but:

I gotta be physically attracted to the woman

I won't date a smoker with the exception of infrequent pot or hookah

No drugs outside of medications..

I'm not into STDs

She has to accept that I have kids (I myself am open minded in that regard) and she's gotta be cool with the fact that I am not and most likely never will be religious

Intelligence level needs to be at least a step above backwoods hillbilly

No Trumpers, anti-vaxxers, or major conspiracy theorists
