"Certain things in a relationship? Shared sense of humour… Hobbies… Moral and ethics… Are there any dealbreakers for you, anything you absolutely have to have in common." When I was married we did everything together. Sadly she felt the need to be a teenager again, which is a tad unfortunate when you have three kids and a mortgage to deal with. | |||

"All the above Hippy Seeing as I adore music, someone who will appreciate it as much as I do and if they play an instrument/sing/have similar music taste, even better! PNG x " My next man will definitely have to like singing, rather than rolling their eyes at me, singing is one of lifes pleasures | |||

"There has to be shared humour. And the good kind. Laugh with each other and not at each other. Not necessarily the same hobbies etc, but both need to be on the same page with wants and needs. Say for having kids or if one wants to travel the world and the other is a homebody. " Love this | |||

"At minimum a decent level of education Ive dated idiots and it’s fucking hard work Does decent level of education equal intelligent? " No, not at all ... the education system doesn't suit everyone and I find that just because someone left at whatever age, doesn't mean less intelligence compared to those who stay in academia to be professors etc. | |||

"A compatible sense of humour would probably be the standout one for me. I could work around most other issues but if you can’t laugh together then it’s never going anywhere. " This is what I think. It’s a bit of a dealbreaker | |||

"Common ground or a connection? I don't necessarily want someone that does or likes everything that I like. I want to have my own things and the same for them too. We need similar attitudes, life experiences and expectations. I need a never ending spark not a female version of me." I agree with you, it’s important to have your own interests too, and the ability to have your own space. | |||

"At minimum a decent level of education Ive dated idiots and it’s fucking hard work Does decent level of education equal intelligent? " Not at all OP generally speaking nowadays education is about memory retention. Not, about being taught to think or extrapolate from your thoughts, what you hear, see or read. True intelligence has nothing to do with education and everything to do with how you think. | |||

"A shared sense of humour is vital, as if there are disagreements it's a great diffuser. We have different hobbies but do share parts of them. For us I think it's important that we have a similar idea of how to bring up children. We don't always agree but are both pretty laid back so don't often argue" Totally agree with all this. | |||

Some are easier than others and it’s a hood indicator of someone intelligence But as others have says, and I agree, it’s not all that matters.

"You need to have something in common, a shared interest or hobby maybe but not everything in common. Each person needs their own thing to enjoy but time together should be fun as well. There has to be honesty, in everything that you share, leaving aside silly stuff like surprises. And there has to be mutual trust. Differences in intelligence and humour are just character traits. A similar outlook on life is another but that is open to change…" Couple goals | |||

"Intelligence is a must for me, but emotional intelligence is non-negotiable. I have it, and would expect others to match me in that regard. I think I’d struggle to be with someone who needs to be on the go the whole time. Down time is important to me, and I’m such a homebody. The other day at work, I kept thinking about how I couldn’t wait to be back in my flat He would have to be a good parent, as that’s an important shared value. Family means a lot to me. Other than that, kindness and humour are everything! Would like to meet someone to go on holiday with, and who would open me up to new experiences. A love of music and reading would be also be great. And if he’s good at cooking and DIY, you’d have to hold me back! I don’t know if this has been picked up on in the forum, but cheating is another no-no for me. I refer you back to the all important honesty!" Awww | |||

"Found myself thinking about this more than I should. On a serious note, I see it as a Venn diagram. No two people will ever have a complete overlap but as long as there's something that binds you together there's a chance it can work. As someone who came out of an abusive relationship a couple of years ago I find it hard to trust anyone ever again, regardless of their values. Honesty only goes skin deep. I've built up my life around myself now and I'm not going to compromise on that again. Unfortunately it leads to a very solitary existence. Fab obviously isn't the solution, there's always someone "more" here. So I think what's needed in a relationship is love. Unconditional love. And acceptance that you can't ever change the other person and you shouldn't want to change the other person. Accept each other for what you are, and if it doesn't work move on. If you have all that, then you are truly fortunate." I think unconditional love is a bit of a catch 22 sitch. Unconditional means they can do anything and you'll still love them? I think there are certain boundaries needed for sure, so not unconditional....? | |||

"Certain things in a relationship? Shared sense of humour… Hobbies… Moral and ethics… Are there any dealbreakers for you, anything you absolutely have to have in common." Sense of humour and morals/ethics definitely, hobbies don't especially bother me. If they're passionate about their hobbies etc that's probably more important because even if I don't "get" their hobby, the passion is always wonderful to see. Other than that, honesty and being open mean a great deal (read, everything), as does communication. | |||
