    Obviously your not someone who is married or has any idea about what a life partner is all about, there cannot be a single important ciriteria for a life partner as you have to find someone who as a whole fulfills that part of your life that is missing, like a jigsaw piece that finishes a jigsaw puzzle.

    Are you trying to decide which girl out of 3 you want to spend your life with by running a poll like this ??

    Yes I can say this, I have been married for 14 years, my life partner wasnt decided for me by things like looks or how well she can cook, there isnt and never will be one thing that makes a life partner.

    Regards

    PS why dont you add a couple of other criteria like "how rich she/he is" or "how big her boobs are"

    I totally agree with Ididmyc600! I voted for the 3rd one. But then again there is other criteria. I don't think you "pick" your partner. Things happen for a reason I think! Here I am talking.....I divorced last year! :p

    Looks are considered as well. I mean, even if she cares for you. You still don't want someone that is 500lbs. and wants to camp out at the all you can eat buffet either!

    I um, I um, I um........

    Think that all three are equally important and indispensable. Could this be the reason I'm a bachelor?

    'Getting along' is the bottom line.

    I think the single most important thing for a marriage is getting along.

    She can be an awesome cook, beautiful, smart and love you very much, but if you two don't get along together and have arguments every night, then you're domestic relationship is in bad shape.

    Now, getting along encompasses many things.. perhaps you don't get along because she keeps burning the food, because she doesn't show her love or because you keep staring at other girls because she's ugly as hell - but getting along is the bottom line.

    You need to WANT to spend time together and work through your problems together. If you can't do that, then every day of your life is a living hell and if you DO stay in the relationship despite this, then you're going to be really, really unhappy. Find someone who you get along with and everything will fall into place.

    Again, I'm probably Expecting too Much......

    That almost makes it, but I'm still shooting for; is an orphan, with a considerable trust fund. Again, I'm way single.

    I wouldn't mind having a hot girl who is smart ( there is no point in having a hot girl if she is incredibly dumb :haha: ) and plays games like I do :D

    Personally I like Burnetts ( spelled correctly? ) over blonde girls ;)

  16. hamas123 Newcomer, in training

    I voted looks and the 3rd one if he/she is hot but doesn't cares about you,you wouldn't get on with each other and if he/she cares about you but is a big fat ugly monster then no. so I chose both

    Probably an Obscure Reference......

    The "deaf, dumb, and blind" thing was a nod to "The Who", who in their song "Pinball Wizard", flatly state, "that deaf, dumb, and blind kid sure plays a mean pin-ball". You may read what you like into that analog.

    I dated a nice young blonde girl, (way long ago), best girlfriend ever! Some people thought we looked like brother and sister. I know I can't prevent you from reading what you like into that.

    Besides, I wasn't making fun of you, I was making fun of him.

    Many of my former life partners suffered valiantly through very loud music, that was not to their taste.

    The Chances Are.....

    Oh, I can't believe you wouldn't take pleasure in besting someone in an argument who had to write out their point of view, or better still by signing. (LOL).
    Besides, given your priorities, (I cite the order of qualities you list), you might not hear her anyway for all the installed sound damping.

    I went with #3. I have been with women that most would say were fairly ordinary looking but I found them very beautiful beacuse of the type of person they were. For me, looks are a window dressing and personality is a deal closer.
