It's about choices...

[pinkies up]

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?

[TonyB06]

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.

10's
Brains: If you're smart, you know how to make your money work for you; Not you working for your money.
Personality: There HAS to be chemistry. He has to be comfortable in his own skin and not afraid to be who he is. Personal style, swagger and a sense of humor goes a long way with me.
Utility: I REALLY appreciate a man that is a handy man and doesn't have to call a handy man (which leads to saving $$$).

1's
Beauty: As long as I like what I see...
Body: That six pack could turn into 2 liter.
Money: Again, if you've got brains, you know how to make it.

10s-Personality, brains, utility
1s-Body, beauty, money

Personality, brains, and utility are ranked so high because I find myself more attracted to men with these attributes. Further if that guy is neat and confident, he's got my full attention. Trust that!

Body, beauty, money have some importance to them, but they are temporal and don't keep me as intrigued as the above components.

10's:
Personality- This is very very important, and I think it makes up for not having brains.
Money- Good to have some help!
Utility- Because I am not handy AT ALL!!!

1's:
Brains- I'm the brainiac! I know everything we need to know
Body- Would be nice but I can only pick three
Beauty- Don't need a beautiful man, average is okay with me.

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)

It seems to me that all of these things are tied together.

But I would choose brains, personality, and utility.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the above qualities are what makes a person beautiful to me.

Money can always be made, brains and personality are not so easy to come by.

Body--read my response to beauty.

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
Brains--Book sense, common sense and a 4-year degree are essential. Carry on a conversation of many topics. I am a jack of of all trades. He needs to be also.
Beauty--Keeping it real, I don't want ugly kids. Also, I want my friends to say "Wow, what a handsome couple" and we have to look good together in pictures. He can't be prissy and high maintainence though. ech..
Personality--Boring people piss me off in general. Why on earth would I want to DATE a man like that? I like quirky. Not mental or jacked up (been there) just not afraid to think and speak outside the box.

1
Body--I prefer healthy, fit and toned but as long as he is healthy (no smokes, drugs, works out at least once a week) I'm cool.
Money--I've got my own, but thanks for trying. And someone else said it, Money can't buy you happiness.
Utility --I can do it myself, but it wouldn't hurt to have a handy guy. I REALLY don't like useless men. Yeah, I could pay someone but I'd rather spend my money on a trip to India than give it to someone else when I can do it better.

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]

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]

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.

Beauty 10. I have to be physically attracted to her. That's a must.


Body 1. Body is not as important to me as long as she's not a big woman. Nothing against big women, I'm just not physically attracted to them. Nice legs and pretty feet, I'm good with that. I can't suck her toes if she has ugly feet. I do have a foot fettish :-)


Money 1. I don't really care about the money. Money makes things a lot easier but it doesn't buy happiness, plus I want to be the provider for my woman, financially, emotionally, physically and spiritually.


Personality 10. This is very important, because I love a woman with a great sense of humor, and a wonderful, positive personality. This is a must. No ghetto, foul mouth, lip smacking, nagging woman. Major turn off.

Utility 1. That's just not important to me at all. I wouldn't want my woman to get her hands dirty doing manual labor. I'll do that.

Will you marry me?















Oh, I am already married...
