Total unconditional love? Never or rarely angry with you? Unwordly? Uncritical? Knight, it sounds like you're looking for some sort of subserviant child-bride from a poverty-stricken corner of the world.

1. Very affectionate, kind, and caring

4. Forgiving and patient, of your faults and foibles...never or rarely angry with you
5. Soft-spoken, uncritical...if she has a disagreement with you, she is gentle about it
6. Innocent / non-worldly, both generally and also in terms of physical intimacy
7. Shy and/or introverted...but the "nice" kind of shy...
8. Wants a serious and exclusive relationship with you, and hopefully (eventually ultimately in the future) a loving marriage

Girlfriend / wife material? Or would you prefer something else entirely, and if so, what? Thoughts please?

ETA: the main reason I am asking is largely b/c, these are the kinds of things that I personally, as a guy, find to be extremely attractive in women. So just wanted to get some other thoughts / input...
funny thing is, on paper what you describe sounds perfect...but in reality is the complete opposite of perfect, this type of girl would smother and annoy most men and they would become bored in not too much time.

What if she 'steps out of line' and is no longer one of these (1-8) how would you deal with that? Because that's the reality, no person is perfect and its unlikely to find all these (1-8) in any one person IMO..have you met such a girl?

What is your definition of unconditional love btw?

I really want a taken in hand relationship, unruley extroverts don't train well as their mind get polluted with ideas from friends.

In the end I'm sure some woman will just end up running rough shot over me.

It sounds like you want someone you can control and run over.

Loyal, affectionate, uncritical, forgiving, non-worldly...

Please visit your local Humane Society shelter. I'm sure there are plenty of adoptable dogs out there that meet all your criteria.

Good luck and have fun!

I think that these traits are great, however, if we do not have the same interests in life then it doesn't matter.

Are you willing to change any of your likes or preferences for any reason?
Honestly just curious to see what others' likes are. As far as willingness to change my own likes and preferences, sure I am willing to be flexible. If a girl I was theoretically interested in had some or most of the qualities I outlined in the OP but not all of them, then absolutely, I would be open to giving her a fair shot

Each person's preferences and likes are just as valid and fine as another person's (providing we're not talking about destructive characteristics and behavior).

Be content with what you want and its more than likely that there is at least 1 person in the world who meets your needs.

Anyway, that person you described would bore me. What I love about my wife are the contrasts we have and how they interact in our relationship.

Is your list Girlfriend/wife material? No.

More like things I look for in a Dog when I go to the pound (minus the intimacy parts of course).

And most dogs do fit your "wants" much more than a human could!
While I kindly and respectfully disagree with the suggestion above that I am looking for a girl with "Pavlovian" qualities...thank you for your input, comments, and feedback, nevertheless

1. Yes, I like it, just not smothering
2. See above
3. I'm not sure humans in general are capable of unconditional love, as much as we want to believe we are. My ex-wife is a perfect example for me.
4. This one is huge.
5. Great quality
6. This can be taught, but I'm on the fence. If she's willing to learn things, then I like it.
7. I'm not sure I can be with a shy/introverted woman because we would never commuinicate since I'm the same way.
8. Yes, yes, yes. This is important to me.
