Really. Usually when I say this people give me a look (or outright says something). The look sort of says:"What is this sexist pig from the medieval ages doing in our time period"fifty said:

It's one of those things that most people want, but most people don't want to admit they want. You can commend yourself for being honest!

I wish guys were more submissive too.
And non-possessive of their girlfriends.

Arranged marriages *shudder*
Good thing they must have: Affection is a good one, Narz, but in the spirit of the thread, they must have have lots of interests: whether it be sports, computer games, hobbies, reading, learning etc... I can't imagine someone who has a lot of interests wouldn't want to talk about them. Plus, there's gotta be something that you have in common and can do together!
Bad thing they can't have: Hmmm hard choice! After careful thinking, I'd pick that they're not allowed to lie to me. Lying is hurtful, whether it done with good intentions or for selfish reasons!

Just one thing .... argh, don't know if I can make a sensible post with just one of each. I have quite a long list of boxes that must be ticked before someone even makes it to the "potential boyfriends" list, let alone "potential husbands"! Huh, that's probably why I'm single... [memo to self: find someone to date if only to shut my mother up.]
Good: mutual respect. If we don't respect each other, then we won't get along (long-term), and the marriage would be awful.
Bad: unreliable. I couldn't stand someone who lies to me, doesn't do things they've said they'll do, can't hold down a job or do stuff competently etc.
-------------------------------------------
Other things I would like: attractive enough that I wouldn't mind sleeping with him, healthy and intelligent enough that I'd be happy to have kids with his genetics, intelligent enough that we could talk about interesting things, lots of money OR happy to either work while I housekeep or vice versa (must do competently), some of the same interests and tastes as me (eg home design/furnishing, music etc), a good cohabitor (if that makes sense), and most importantly nice enough that I would like him and get on well with him.
Other things I would hate: violent/aggressive, over-possessive, stupid, incompetent, (very) lazy, ugly, smoker, too sociable (don't want loads of parties and so on), religous (no problem with people having faith, but I can't stand people who are religious and try to push it on you), inconsiderate/selfish.
Beware, I may update this list.

Very good.And no it's the wind in your sails that makes your sail look big in this - I think you know the thread I'm referring to in humour

Well, first off...this would mean that someone is actually marrying me! Woohoo! And a female too! Yes! (happy dancing) Can't fear rejection or being not appealing! Jackpot! You're all invited to my wedding! Okay, nobody would come, but I'm still happy beyond belief!
For something I'd like this person to have...Intelligence. Yeah, sounds cliche and...well, it is. But I'd love to be able to talk about world events, or about politics, even when disagreeing. Love to be able to talk about a wide range of things but also enjoying a kind of intelligence where we don't necessarily have to talk, but just absorb whatever's around us. This way, we'd never be bored...since each day is something new...even if it's something we've done many, many times.
Something I don't like that I would be happy to get rid of would be...a closed mind. I don't want her to be closed minded, even if there are things that I think are good, someone with a closed mind will never look for alternatives. And a person with a closed mind will never expand their horizons or think differently about anything, from issues large and small, to even things like my chosen profession.
You all might be surprised how much that narrows the field.
