I think my criteria are more or less summed up by combining Sass and Crash's points. And I really don't think that I'm asking too much...especially since, as Sass already said, looks almost never factor into the equation for me. All the guys I've ever been seriously interested in would never be considered attractive by the general population -- but their personalities are the type that most people can't help but like.
1) Intelligence:: I'm not saying that a guy has to be a rocket scientist, but I at least want to be on a similar level. I think it's great when a guy is more knowledgeable in areas I'm less experienced in (and vice versa), but I want some common ground as well.
2) Motivation:: Guys that like me tend to be the type that want me to motivate them, because I've always been the kind of person who does a lot of stuff and is self-motivated. I can't think of anything less attractive than somebody who wants me to help them live their life, or give their life direction: that's not the role I want in a relationship. He needs to have his own individual goals/dreams/ideas that he's working towards, and if he wants me to support him then I am more than happy to oblige.
3) Maturity:: I'm pretty sure that this would coincide with the other two points, because if a guy doesn't have a certain level of maturity, then my previous criteria will probably not be fulfilled either. That doesn't mean I dislike a guy acting childish or silly...that's actually very endearing. Just the attitude towards life in general needs to be from a more mature perspective. I know that age is just a number, but I find that guys in my age range tend to be a bit too immature for me to be anything but friends with them; most of the guys I've dated or have been attracted to are at least 3 years older than me.
4) Sense of Humor:: It seems kind of insignificant, but the people who know me IRL know that I love to laugh, and for that a guy needs to be somewhat tolerant of my bubbly nature. Or perhaps wants to encourage it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
