Lol, coming from a person who say this: His explanation was plausible, this forum is weird like that.
Insisting on a set list of preferences is often hopeless. Someone can meet all the criteria on it and still there is no mutual attraction. Of course it is handy to know what you really do not want in a partner but with me it differs per person. What annoyed me to death in one person can attract me to another. This is of course also rather hopeless One thing is certain: having mutual interests doesn't say shit (but it seems and can be great) I'm not looking for someone better than me (not necessarily against it either but really compatibility seems more relevant).
imaginative, creative, shares more then one of my interests, considerate of everything in the universe, sapient and from another planet somewhere else in the galaxy.
