Would you rather marry someone who you know will be:
1. A responsible spouse, be the supportive husband/wife, be a great parent. You know you will find security in that individual. However, this individual is average looking, and has an kind personality, however is not an adventurous or to fun so your marriage might sometimes be a little dull.

2. Individual #2 will be a fun loving, good looking, and an outgoing individual who you know you will have fun being with. You know they be a good spouse but the thing is that they may be too easy going that you dont know if they will be responsible when you need them to be.

Who would you choose?

Easily choice 1. Maybe 2 for flings but we are talking about marriage here.

Because of MY personality, MY needs, and MY values, I would go with #1. It all depends on the person's needs, though. Stability is extremely important to me, so I don't really care if our life is stable, settled, and boring (or dull).

I'd go with the second guy. There are no promises either way, so if I'm gonna go down, I'm gonna enjoy it while it lasts. I need that element of "fun".

I rather marry someone that I can trust and is loyal and loving... those other stuff you mentioned aren't even in the top 10... I guess everyone has a different list of what they want from a spouse...

Yeah, maybe a nice medium between the two.

Or a goat.

Agree. I would also choose the one that just can't live without me--is fascinated by my quirks---finds them endearing.

Neither. Never marry someone you are not madly and totally in love with.

I'm a bit more like #2, so I would say #1 would be a good yang to my yin (or yin to my yang )
