• you are nice, respectful
  • you get along with my friends/respect them
  • you are open sexually to new things
  • you are generally respectful towards all living things
  • you do not mind my level of hygiene (while i am clean, i am not clean to the ridiculous chemically-sterile sense that most people expect)

  • you are interested in me beyond what I look like, what I am thinking at this moment, etc.

  • you read at least a handful of books per year (i'm not asking for you to be a weekly new yorker reader or even pour through a book a week, honest)
  • you will try new foods and new things if i make them for you or if i want to try them
  • you're willing to discuss problems instead of dishing out ultimatums

  • I would prefer, that if you drank, it would be moderately, and not often, and certainly not whatever you could find

  • and to travel places much different from where you grew up
  • you do not mind when i pee in the shower (SO IMPORTANT. AUTOMATIC DEALBREAKER.)
  • you like hiking, biking, swimming (in order of importance) and generally being outside, when the weather is acceptable
  • but easily adapt to freezing cold and staying indoors and sitting all day, without complaint
  • you are good at saving money (very important, because I am absolutely not)
  • you appreciate me (really the most important thing of all, can override some but not all of dealbreakers)
