When it comes to dating, we all have our romantic checklists.
For the most part, I think men and women agree on the key attributes we consider important in our romantic partners. Don’t we all want someone who’s decent, attractive, confident, loyal, has a great sense of humor, shares our values, operates with integrity, a good communicator and emotionally healthy? Oh yes, and it doesn’t hurt if Mr. or Ms. Maybe is independently wealthy and has rock-star charisma, too.
But what if you just had to pick one attribute as the most critical for your mate to have? That’s where the sexes part company and prioritize some traits over others — or, in some cases, define those traits differently. For example, men and women might have separate definitions for an adjective like “passionate.” Everyone wants a passionate partner, but if you believe some stereotypes and outdated research, men more often associate that word with pure physical, sexual voracity, while women think of a deeply felt, lusty emotion that’s directed only at them.
Recently, I spoke with a variety of women to get them to tell me the one thing they absolutely, positively had to have in a guy they were seriously dating. With a little thought — and some prodding — most of the women I spoke with were clear about their top demands. Which one tops your list?
As a male I have issues with the women that wants romance. I've datred more then my fair share of women who say that they want romance. It always tends to go bad for some reason or another when they get it. Seems to be these days when women still get flowers or you run them a bubble bath with candles or fix dinner they suspect we've done something wrong.
I don't remember having a checklist or anything - but I guess my number one thing would be sense of humor. I can't imagine going through life with someone I couldn't or didn't laugh with.
My one must have is that it cannot be only just one thing. I don't have a checklist, if it works, it works. Human beings are much more complex than these stupid articles.

Still many people tend to read and take advice from such articles. Other then that I do agree with you.
I don't have a checklist. I just want to be loved and cared about as equally as I love and care about.... Finally, 2 years short of forty years old, it has happened. He could not be a more wonderful man and I could not be more happy than I am right now..... =)
