Whats your relationship ratio?
 

What do you weigh each aspect of a persons attribuites when you are considering going out with them? Percentage wise, for example: (not mine, btw. I still dont know what mine is)

30% looks
30% intellegence
20% attitude
20% sense of humor

I am just wondering how everyone scores potential dates/mates.

What are ya'lls thoughts? I know it isnt this scientific, but generally, If a fella is quite handsome is it ok if hes broke, has no future or is dumb as a bag of hair? Or what if a girl is intellegent, loaded, funny, sweet and caring, but looks like the back of a bus?

LOL! Sorry. Just the way you worded all that was just amusing to me. Anyway, I guess I will try.

Looks-20%
Intellect/Common Sense-25%
Humor-25%
Bank Account-5%
Motivation-20%
Integrity/Honesty/All that stuff Dr. Phil talks about-25%

(This will prolly change as the thread grows.)

Good topic!
 

40% looks
30% ambition
20% intellect/ability to communicate
10% love and appreciation of music/art

20% looks/style
20% Christian background
20% At least middle class
20% Extroversion
10% Humor

5% Intelligence

I've been sort of thinking about this topic all day (hey, I had the day off -- what else am I going to do?) and I can't come up with an answer. I think that chemistry has a lot to do with it, and I'm not sure how to break that down into categories. Of course I value looks and intelligence and kindness and humor and all that...but I'm not sure what is most important. I can say that to me, money isn't important.

I guess when it comes down to it, I like someone who is the hot, male version of myself. ;)

Amen! :D;)

See...this is why valkyrie is the coolest GCer alive. I mean after me, of course, lol.

20% looks
20% intellegence/education
20% attitude/drive
10% sense of humor
10% faith
15% family values (or closeness to family)
5% income

My thoughts exactly. ;)

If I HAD to break it down though it would go something like this

39%-looks
39%-intelligence/ambition
11%-sense of humor
10%-family values
1%-hmm whatever is leftover

I think that is 100% or around there. :D

50% intelligence/interestingness/innovation
20% supportiveness
15% easygoing
10% looks
5% humor/silliness

30% looks
30% personality
20% intelligence
10% family values
5% income
5% ambition

hmmm...
I don't know the %'s really but characteristics in order of importance:

1- We are good friends (or that we can be, so in other words we have stuff in common and can talk/ relate to eachother well, and he's a generally nice guy)

2-Chemistry! I suppose this is superfically "looks" but it's a bit more complicated than that.

3- common sense and intelligence. I simply can't deal without one or the other.

(Actually, 1 2 and 3 are essential. It won't happen unless they are all there.)

4- on the big issues we agree. I love debate, but it would be nice if I don't get into heavy abortion arguements with my man.

5- No mental problems/ wierd realtionship issues. This is important.

6- That he has an idea of what his values are and how he wants to live his life. I don't have to want to be in his field, but I don't like it when people just sit on their asses. If you don't know what you want to do, start trying stuff!!!

That's about all I can think of at the moment...

Thanks! ;)
