She has to be intelligent, self confident, honest, able to communicate, have a better out look on life than I do, enjoy sex, and gently push me to have fun, (I forget to do that sometimes). Other than that, I think everything else would just be icing on the cake.

Sounds like you're looking for a Manic Pixie Dream Girl, which could be potentially unhealthy. What I mean by that term (it's a recent internet trope), is that you're looking for a girl to drag you out of your shell or spice up your life, instead of doing it yourself. I used to also desire this sort of relationship, someone to brighten up my otherwise serious, introverted and intellectual life. However the reason this rarely if ever works is that denies the agency of the person in question; she will always feel like you're expecting her to live up to a certain expectation and she'll tire of it at some point.

YEAH! The Duck gets it! I actually had a gf like that once--expected me to keep her amused. I'm nobody's court jester. But we can have a blast, if you'll meet me half way.
Otherwise, I thought grump's criteria were pretty good.
I've never had a requirement list. She just needs to not have my deal breakers and be a good hearted woman.
Most other things are pretty negotiable.
Well..i guess if there's one requirement I do like that might trump most other things: She must have pretty eyes. That doesn't mean she has to wear make up, but her eyes must not look like they are drooping downward.

Fair enough observation. I'm not ready to date yet, so that is good food for thought!
