If you were looking for a LTR now, what would you specify as essentials in a partner?

Me:
I'm married for a long while and probably going to stay the same. But if I were online dating and looking for someone to share the rest of my life with right now , these would be my OLD requirements in order of prioerity. They are hugely different to what I would have been looking for 25 years ago.

1. Robust mental health and a resilient glass half full outlook
2. able and happy to cook and clean
3. solvency
4. positive mental attitude
5. extrovert and adventurous nature

*1. A man who wants a partner not a mumsy-sex-nurse

1. Sensible with money
2. Knows how to behave in public
3. Kind*

I think nocluewhattodo has summed up my list for me! Sadly, a good portion of the men I've met OLD fail the first item on the list.

I would never want another partner, something I have realised is that I am very self sufficient and don't need to be in a relationship (although I have been married & remain married over 30 years ).

But to answer your question - lighthearted response - good DIY skills, a real bonus, my DB has great DIY skills and I am really envious of the lovely things he can do in his home ... yes, I know I could learn but too lazy.

Kindness, generosity, willing to volunteer, be involved in the community, be outward looking are all important attributes to me. Being needy and expecting me to provide 'social life and entertainment' would be a turn off, couldn't be with someone who didn't do his own thing, have no wish to be with someone 24/7. Fortunately my DH have fairly similar approaches to our marriage.
