You are being forced into an arranged marriage...

[WildFire]

If I was being forced into a marriage she would have to love sports, specifically bowling or hockey.

I could talk about either for years

Has: Loyalty toward her family, friends and me. She would be intelligent; able to do many of here own activities without my assistance and not get lost in the social trends of the day. We should be able to have an intelligent discussion together. She would be able to give me my own personal space, but still feel like I am not that distant.

Doesn't have: The opposite of this.

Am I asking too much?

In a word: Yes.

 

[Shylock]

Intelligent and quiet. Ive had the opposite of both in the same person, fun if you ignore it but in the long term it wont cut it.

In a word: no.
As long as you remember that the same is demanded of you, it should work nicely - at least it does for me.
On-topic: Loyality, social intelligence and compassion are desirable qualities which the one I married possesses in full.

Nice proviso there Luc and quite right too.

Yes it is. Unfortunately I forgot to inform my first wife about it...

 

[classical_hero]

has: a hot body.

Doesn't have: intelligence.

That's right a blonde bimbo.

 

[Gr3yL3gion]

Good quality: She doesn't mind that I am having an affair.
Bad Quality: She's propably having an affair too.

 

[silver 2039]

Good: Rich
Bad: Stupid

Hahahahhh!!!!

 

[JohnRM]

Honesty...

 

[~Corsair#01~]

Nice hair. No shouting.

I want peace and quiet, in a well-groomed case.

 

[Narz]

Affectionate (physically, sexually)!

Affectionate probably means she's loving and giving, which means she's probably a good person, which means she'll probably try hard to please me, which means if I want her to try to improve her appearance, intellect, other attributes, she will probably do it!

I didn't think I'd be able to come up with a satisfactory answer to this one but I did!

 

[Narz]

Oh and I forgot the bad quality : unattractive (physically, mentally, emotionally).

Haha, I got it all! Affectionate and attractive!!

By the way, fifty, you know we really get two wishes right? By saying I wan't her NOT to be unattractive I'm saying I do want her to be attractive.

 

[Narz]

double post

 

[Fifty]

By the way, fifty, you know we really get two wishes right? By saying I wan't her NOT to be unattractive I'm saying I do want her to be attractive.

By the way, Narz, you know her being attractive was a given right? Way to waste your little second wish!!!


PS@Everyone: Can't we be a bit more creative than honesty, submissiveness, intelligence, blahblahblah?!!?

Props to SN, WillJ, and Atlas for posting within the spirit of the thread!


I'm not even joking about the sailing thing at all. I just can't imagine a pretty girl that likes sailing not having a personality/style I love.

Opps, in that case, I change my second wish to "not controling". Hot, affectionate and not controling. Works for me.

What's wrong with general traits? Your chick who likes sailing could fall out of interest in it tomorrow, whereas someone who is generally decent, submissive, intelligent, etc. usually stays that way (or is internally driven to stay that way).

And since when has "the spirit of a thread" been set by the thread starter. Once you let her loose, she's our baby!

Well, fate will find you one, it has a sense of humour like that.

 

[Archbob]

Must: Someone who is really dedicated to the marriage

Not: Someone who "gets around"

 

[Homie]

I thought I was staying within the spirit of the thread. This far, no one has given the same answer as me, so it cannot be that typical. (on both con and pro I mean)

 

[Babbler]

As long as you remember that the same is demanded of you, it should work nicely - at least it does for me.

Okay, in that case ...

... screw it. I would then want a wife willing to have sex all the time; now I can meet those demands, but I believe finding such a woman is a logical impossibility.

The religion one is pretty good, but the submissiveness one is a bit too "typical" for my liking


I still think that mine, SN's, WillJ, and Atlas's are more in the spirit of the thread.
