#1 She must be drop dead gorgeous
#2 She must be able to regularly have a conversation with me that is so fascinating that #1 is completely pushed out of my mind.
1. Class. Some may take contention or umbrage and claim that there is a taste for every individual. While this is true, it is also true that things like table manners, proper speaking, and tasteful dress never go out of style.
- If you are a very good-looking woman but you do not know how to properly use a knife and a fork, you will come across as uneducated, uncouth, or worse.
- If you don't know how to speak properly, with well-chosen words and correct grammar, you will come across as a country bumpkin. I'm not even talking about regional accents here. Queen's English isn't needed all the time, but if you pepper your diction with too many slangs and "ya know what I mean," you won't come across as an intelligent person who knows how to convey your thoughts. And please, please, PLEASE: no profanity.
- I don't care how smokingly hot your figure is - please dress like a lady. You can still dress sexy but without looking like a tramp. And depending on where we're going or the type of event, do dress accordingly.
2. Intellect. You women do not imagine just how much and how often we men laugh and even at times mock women who have world-class looks and sesame-seed-sized intellect - the prototypical trophy wife/girlfriend who looks stunning but who is clueless at certain social gatherings because she knows nothing.
Sadly, a lot of men have, in my presence, mocked intelligent women as well, but I take this as an expression of insecurity, and frankly, ignorance and stupidity.
3. Warmth and kindness. Yes, women chafed under sexism for centuries, and now you women feel liberated and strong and some of you feel good by being b/tchy to men. As you wish. But we men still want a woman with a loving, kind heart, with lots of affections to share and who has a warm and gentle spirit. Some men like b/tches, and that's their choice. Men who want to settle down, and to raise a family, don't want their children's mother to be a b/tch.
4. An understanding and giving spirit. Yes, relationships take two to work. Yes, we men must give, understand, sympathize, and empathize as well. But if you're only going to be a receiver, it will wear us down, and we will resent you. It works both ways as well - do you like being the giver and never the receiver? And I'm not referring to sex, for you pervies.
5. Health. You needn't have a six-pack or ripped biceps, but please do take care of your body. Eat healthy foods. Sure, do splurge; I do myself (had a huge rack of beef ribs for dinner this past weekend, made at home, with bread dipped in balsamic vinegar and olive oil, a tomato salad, and with red wine to drink). But being healthy - exercising, watching your food intake, etc - is never a bad thing. No, it's not fair for us men to demand women to have the face of Megan Fox and the body of J. Lo while we're 50lbs overweight. I believe every man must take care of himself physically. But the way we treat our bodies is a glaring reflection of how we view/respect ourselves, and discipline in the area of health and fitness - or lack thereof - is a sign of how disciplined we are as a whole. Discipline, organization, and industry are virtues that I value in my own life, and that I'd hope you have in yours, regarding your body and everything else.
That's all for now. I want somebody decent-looking - I won't lie. Somebody who is fun to talk to and hang out with. And... yeah.

Excellent post. One thing I would add is "No Text Speak". It's bad enough that people love to text so much, but don't talk like that in person. It won't kill you to speak in a full sentence and, unlike Twitter, you're not limited to 140 characters or less.

I noticed that you used a few contractions in your sentence.
What is textspeak if not a modern type of contraction?
A short, quick way to write our most commonly used words. And nowadays no one really has much of a problem with them (we use them too much anyway to pick on them.) Yet, someone once did have a bone to pick about them.
Who was that man?
Lewis Carroll; the famous writer of Alice In Wonderland and, a jack of all-trades in the educational arena.
For you men: If you're into seeking relationship (can be long term, marriage material, etc...) besides looks are there other qualities you look for when being on a date? What are they?
Or is just the looks most of the times good enough? Example: Guy finds his dream girl who is rated high in looks (can be smart too) but turns out to be an arrogant, snob thinking she's above everyone...
Definitely NOT a female version of TVSG.
