It's about choices...

Which attributes do you choose for your mate and why? Why do you choose to sacrifice those attributes that you have? Remember - choose three!

Brains

Beauty

Body

Money

Personality

Utility (i.e. s/he can do whatever you need a mate to do for you in any area you would choose)

Interesting question.

I'd choose my 10's to be Brains, Money, and Personality. I'm the type of person who doesn't really care if you're pretty to look at. If I can talk to you intelligently and have a great conversation with you, then that's all I need. I don't need a supermodel or a bodybuilder.

Luckily my hubby's all 10's (except when he snores).

However, if I had to choose, I would give all 10's to brains, money, and personality. Brains and good conversation go a long way.

1's to beauty, body, and utility. Let's face it, if the beauty and the body go what's a person have to keep them interested?

10s:

Brains - God-fearing, natural intellect is stimulating/exciting and has an ability to attract me just like beauty. I gotta be able to dialogue and learn some perspective from her, just like she learns some from me.

Beauty - Whether it's the way she walks, that nuanced idiosyncrasy that I notice, or "that look." of course, a pretty smile, nice head of hair, and being soft and curvy is good too ...cause forever is a long time.

Personality - That unexplainable, yet natural "vibe." Makes me wanna hug her even when we both know she trippin'. It's the same thing that let's me know if everybody else rolls out, she will still be there.

1s:
Body - Over time the body will fade, so the love better be based on something deeper and sustaining.

Money - If you got brains, in the United States of Amerca you can always go out and get the $. legally, too.

Utility - Hated to leave this off the desired list, but the strong connection on personality and brains should get us through.

Brains = 10. There are different types of intelligence. I need my mate to possess on of them.

Beauty = 1. Not too concerned about that.

Body = 1. I need help with my own dayum body, LOL!!

Money = 10. I wanna be able to build together.

Personality = 10. I need to be able to like you as a friend as well.

Utility (i.e. s/he can do whatever you need a mate to do for you in any area you would choose) = 10. I don't know how to fix too many things.

10
Personality - I like people who are up for anything and will try almost anything once. I can't stand guys (and people period) who are boring, uptight, and judgmental.

Brains - Nothing will bring more security than knowing he'll make the right decisions. I'm with OohSoFly, with brains, hopefully money and utility will follow.

Beauty - Not that important, but what if we have kids? I don't want my kids looking like Sloth from the Goonies.

1
Body - I couldn't care less, unless morbidly obese or under 5'6''

Money - If a guy's dumb and irresponsible, I don't think the money would last.

Utility - If a guy already has brains, he should automatically be useful, unless he's lazy, lol.

(10) Body: I choose body because that covers a lot of things. A good body will most likely produce a sharp mind (covering brains), good looks, and a certain private skill that all the ladies love covering utility

(10) Personality: I love to have fun and crack tons of jokes

. . . I need someone who can appreciate my mind and sense of humor and can show me some of the same

(10) Money: Besides my princess status in this life, I swear I must have continued to be some sort of royalty in my past lives as well. Yeah, I can get my money hustle on as much as the next person (and as a broke grad student, I really am $ hustling), but I swear,I HATE to work.

Besides with money you can pay someone to do all that handy dandy stuff while me and dream guy chill on a beach somewhere

Lady of Pearl · #8 02-23-2007, 11:30 PM

I would pick brains foremost because I have little tolerance for somewhat who is not intelligent nor strives to be, money because you can love a rich man better than you can a poor one! personality- someone who has one- can make life very interesting. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Body is not that important to me.

NiaX · #9 02-24-2007, 12:28 AM

Dang Tony... you posed a very hard question.... good question tho...

I want my mate to have perfect 10's in Brains, Personality, and Utility... which means he will have 1s in Money, Body, and Beauty.

I want my man to be able to talk to me, but also the world as well. He may not come in with money, but with his knowledge and skill sets, he will be able to focus on a goal. And when you are doing something you love... you know you can have more time to yourself.. which he will be able to stay healthy. So, he won't come in like that... but he has the brains and utility to be able to progress.

Brains - 10 -I can't deal with stupid. Who has time to chase after someone all day - "No, honey, you can't drink that! It's bleach!" "Sweetie, no, please don't stick that fork in the electric socket!"

Beauty - 1 - As long as I can look at you without vomiting, I'm good. I don't care if my kids are "ugly". I see more "ugly" kids than I do adults, leading me to believe that "ugly" children grow up to be at least average-looking.

Body - 10 - A butt in the front isn't cute.

Money - 1 - I don't need a lot of things. I'm content with the basics.

Personality - 10 - Not trying to be bored.

Utility - 1 - We'd just have to hire people.

Tens
Brains: Intelligence is always important. I have to have someone who can stimulate my mind. Intelligence also brings knowledge in various areas such as utility which helps gain money.

Personality: You have to have a great personality. One's character shows what type of person they are. We have to have similar characteristics to be able to get along and be compatible.

Beauty: Let's keep it real. I have to be able to look at you.

Ones
Money: This goes along with me being independent. I don't need your money. Also with brains, money is easy to obtain.

Utility: I need to know how to do things on my own. Also, with brains, utilities can be learned.

Body: I don't need you to have a hot body; although, it would be nice. I think one having a decent body also falls in the category of brains and personality. It's smart to be healthy and fit. Also, it should be part of your personality to want the best for yourself and want to look good/nice.

ladygreek · #12 02-27-2007, 01:55 AM

Brains - 10
Personality -10
Beauty - 10 more than skin deep, but I also want to like what I see
Money - 1 with his brains and mine we will have the money
Body -1 hey mine ain't that great - LOL
Utility -1 with the money we earn because of our brains, we could buy whatever we need done. Plus with brains, he could probably figure out how to do many things.

Wonderful1908 · #13 03-04-2007, 04:32 PM

Brains-1 Man this was the sacrifice between personality and brains, but being smarter than your mate isn't really that bad, and since he has money and a personality we can roll.

Beauty-10 Hello I have to have kids with this person!

Body-1 Please, oh the least!

Money-10 I am 100% positive that this would be a most as I have said before I am a much happier and functional person with money, I use to think it was shallow and unbecoming but I know that thats just me.

Personality-10 We have to laugh together and share jokes, and inside things, and be able to talk, this is so important.

Utility-1 We will pay someone to do these things....

MsFoxyLoxy77 · #14 04-09-2007, 08:18 PM

Brains 1..It takes brains to have a great personality so I'd say he has just enough brains...

Beauty 10...because...the lights in my house can't always be off..lol..besides if I have kids I don't want any little Flava Flavs running around.

Body 1 Simply because we can pay a personal trainer to get him in shape...

Money 10...one less thing to worry about in this world

Personality..10 I've got to have someone who can keep life interesting

Utility 1...pay someone to fix things

prettybreak1908 · #15 04-14-2007, 03:17 PM

This is a very interesting question but it was not hard for me to pick my 3.

1. Brains- Intelligence is a man is very sexy. I like to argue about things that I feel passionate about.....I would love a man that is capable of doing the same.

2. Personality- This is so important. I love to laugh and if a man has a good sense of humor that is great. I want someone who is fun to be around.

3. Utility- I think this may be one of the most important ones on the list. The utility I would like is probably security. I want a man that I do not have to worry about paying the bills, cheating, etc.
