I thought this would be a good idea to start as a topic. Please be serious and stay on topic.
Myself, I want someone who can and will love me for the person I am. Faults, failures, and all. To hold me when I am sad, that I can hold and comfort when he is sad. Someone who more than tells me he loves me, but shows me. By kindness and tenderness and understanding. Who understands that at times I want to be held, while at other times I do not want to be touched (need my space time.) Who understands that I need to have my independence. Who won't tell me he loves me because of my compassionate nature, then turn around and use me wanting to help unfortunate animals, against me as a reason to walk out. OK, next?

Hmmm. this is a good one. I HAVE been looking and have thought to found one but was proven to be wrong. I wont' fault them 100% since I am flawed as well as millions of people in this lifetime but have been disappointed of the outcomes.
All I ever wanted was a man who truly gets me as well to respect my choices in how I live my life. I need a standup man who can honestly say that he can endure efficiently to whatever may come his way *best to his ability*......and, to be proud that I can do the same without contradicting me for any reasons.
I too want a man who will take his vows seriously through and through and not to backpeddaled his promises.

I can't be serious sorry lol. My mom said, "marry younger men for sex, and older men for money". And as Dr. Phil would say, "And how is that working out for you". I guess
it isn't I have never been married. It wold be too much of a life challenge for someone
to marry me and I realize that. I like my life. I don't share well, must be from being an only child and daddy's princess.

I need to add to mine. I also want someone who can accept my children. One comes home on occasion. The other two are at home, and one will always be with me as he is mentally disabled. If a man cannot accept my kids, then he needs to hit the road! Also, no beaters. Had enough of that!

well trying to find someone whether you be male or female looking who can just accecpt you for who you are is hard enough.being on ssd is even harder,,they think you just want them to support you,,,,not true,,,yes i am disabled but i can still do many things that anyone else can and i do support my own place on what i get. just wish someone would care enough to give it a chance,,hey ya never know ,,some of us can give more into a relationship than material things  and most of us have bigger hearts as we well know how cruel people in the world can be .

I would want my life partner to accept me, warts and all (gee, that should be in the cliche thread, huh? )
He will make me laugh, will not stress out over the small stuff, will love me and allow me to love him unconditionally.
He will be a straight-shooter (cliche thread?  ) and honest to a fault - no mind games or trickery.
I'm ready for Mr. Perfect, but is he ready for me??

Wreckerman, you are now among friends who do care! I suppose that all of us could exchange the word "cancer" with our own issues and make a post like yours. You're right -it is tiresome to face our issues alone, but this group seems determined to provide incredible support and for that I am eternally grateful! I'm new here and have been made to feel welcome - how refreshing!
It's almost like here, we aren't disabled - rather, we are seen as the unique people we are in spite of the fact that we might have some kind of manufacturer's defect
So, just jump in this boat and allow people who do care to support you and help in whatever way we can!
Kapishe?

wreckerman i do understand where your coming from. I do know how hard it is to care for someone with cancer,as i just went through it with my dad,unfortunately when he found out it was too late for treatment for him. If it is getting hard on your loved ones there are support groups out there to help them handle and try to deal with your illness.along with yourself getting some kind of counceling,getting help is not a sign of weakness just a sign of strength as you go through this difficult time and are not giving up on the cancer treatments.i know it is a long process and very hard to deal with,,but you seem to be a strong willed person and you and your loved ones will get through this
P.S. sorry i know this wasn't the topic in this but had to voice my opinion lol
I wish you and your loved ones all the best in this fight

Wow puppyluv, I think you described my life partner perfectly!
I am slightly stunted by abuse so I need a man who can understand that. He needs to be patient, gentle and understanding with my fears and inexperiences with life.
Mature enough to handle situations yet childish enough to remember how to play.
I take very seriously, and believe in, forever and always and he should too. I believe in marriage and all it stands for.
I don't care if he comes home from work covered in dirt or grease as long as he comes home to me.
Income or what he does for work isn't important. If he is happy, I am too.
Looks, ability isn't all that important to me. Once I love someone, they become beautiful to me.
I kind of like to have a man who needs me, turns to me and can be okay with me touching him a lot. I'm a nurturer. I enjoy simple things in life and hopefully he will too.
Must enjoy nature and love my cats!!! Must love my cat babies!!!!

some one who will understand that we all have short comings.willing to talk things out
and find common ground when we disagree with each other.One who does not need to go out to have fun but can find joy in the simple things like sitting by the river or lake
and just talk or just sit. can do things with out the other.

I borrowed this from a friend, Deedee........with her permission to share this with you all****************
Ah, the dawning of a new day. Fresh, clean and oh so beautiful. I awaken, feeling the pounding of my heart, acutely aware of each breath I take, incorporating my thoughts, while my eyes attempt to focus on my ambience. Every moment seems like a lifetime as I anticipate the arrival of my Romeo. As my heart begins to manipulate my mind,an influx of warmth consumes me. My vocabulary escapes me, at every thought of our proposed encounter.
The range of our virtual relationship has accomplished unimaginable altitudes and overwhelming depths. Will I be capable of enduring beyond the scope of my imagination?
(sidebar) My God, My God how you have blessed me, words can not express. But how I thank you for this gift. I am learning more and more each day, that all things are possible through you. You met me at my lowest point in life and showered me with your love. And when I least expected it, you cascade gifts of a life time.(exit sidebar)
I momentarily feared an emotional implosion. However, the conclusion of the matter has delivered an expansion of my heart. I have heard many definitions of Love, but very few characteristics. I conclude that LOVE, will strenthen you and impregnate growth.
I will continue my explorations of the characteristics of LOVE.

I was told that I have such a huge expectation for a man to fill. I have had men emailing me *admiring and being intimidated by my *capabilities* to get things done*. I have never ask them to work with me side by side but to be his own person as long as he's seriously an honest man with financial and spiritual goals * I refuse to house with any man who refuse to participate in household expenses*.
Yes, my expectation may be high but it's pretty simple if you're decent already. Hmmmm, what do you think, Puppy? Help me out here! I would like everyone to look at my profile and tell me what they think of it! I can take constructive criticisms *remember I have my baseball bat hiding behind me, lol*

I do not think you are asking too much on your profile. It is a straight forward and honest. I don't see a lot of "you" on it. I don't see a lot of this sweet, caring, charming, playful person that I see here. Does this make sense?

This is what I hope to never happen again in my lifetime......
He didn't like the casserole
And he didn't like my cake,
He said my biscuits were too hard
Not like his mother used to make.
I didn't perk the coffee right
He didn't like the stew,
I didn't mend his socks
The way his mother used to do.
I pondered for an answer
I was looking for a clue.
Then I turned and
smacked the shit out of him...
Like his mother used to do.

Well, honey, if I'm sweet, caring, charming and playful person.......I'll attract wrong kind of guys like I've always done in the past!!! So, this coldness I have shows on my profile just might weed out the *dumba$$e$* and someday, just someday I hope a real sweetheart will see the real person I am. Think it will work?

I think your picture of you are cute and show a little playfullness. I like your hair dark because oddly enough the blond hair makes you look paler. Don't know why? Your color, eyes stand out more with dark hair. Maybe just the light.

I've been thinking about this for a couple days and I'm not sure I can describe what it is I 'm looking for in a life partner. Hells bells, I've been married multiple times so I guess I haven't figured it out yet....LOL.
I suppose someone near my age, someone who loves animals, shows respect to others, will let me make mistakes without making a federal case out of them. A woman who will listen to my problems and be sure enough of herself to discuss her problems with me. A woman who will live with me every day for the rest of her life and never doubt that she made the right choice when she picked me.
It's hard to describe the feeling that comes over me when I know I'm with the right woman. We just click on so many levels that everything seems right with the world. I don't know any other way to explain it. It isn't about me and what I want, but about "us" and what we can accomplish together.

I'm here!! Here I am!
It's hard to follow and know where everyone will pop up and which thread.
Going on three weeks since I heard from my boyfriend . That is if he still considers me his girlfriend and hasn't moved on without me.
What I want in a life partner is communication and honesty.
If he doesn't want me in your life, just say so! I rather cry once than hold on to hopes that won't come true. I just want someone to hold close and feel safe. For once in my life I stopped running and faced love head on. Okay, I was scared and ran to regroup for a few minutes, but I always came back. Never left him, never stopped loving him, never looked at another man, never even fantasized about another man. I always tried to understand him and be patient. He was so perfect for me. Silly and playful, affectionate and warm, patient and understanding, gentle and loving, compassionate towards others and animals, loyal and honest. Committed for a year and a half anyway, lol then poof!

Grey, thank you for such a thoughtful and insightful answer. I appreciate that you gave the matter a good deal of thought on the answer before giving.
I did intend for this to be a serious thread, as people need to know what people are looking for in a serious realm.
We all do cut up, let our hair down a bit(nothing wrong with that), but we should also be able to be serious and give a serious answer, when it comes to these matters, as that's what we originally came to this site for.
I believe you are correct in not being able to describe what you are looking for. I feel the same way. I guess it's one of those things that we will know for sure when it happens. Puppy

Are you a post popper, captainj?
Sorry I posted that, now. I sound so whiney.
What are the 5 steps in grieving?
denial
anger
bargaining
griving
acceptance
Not sure what order it goes in. I am feeling all right now.
He said, forever and always and if h parted he promised me he would to say goodbye.
That's what troubles me most captainj. I don't know if it is goodbye. I need closure from him. I hope if there is any guys reading this, and if they ever are in this situation they would be man enough to say goodbye.
Sorry puppyluv!
To keep on track to this thread, I am looking for a man that will stay in my life and just love me for who I am and would allow me to love him back.
My lips are sealed. No more drifting off topic. Promise!

I thought this would be a good idea to start as a topic. Please be serious and stay on topic.
Myself, I want someone who can and will love me for the person I am. Faults, failures, and all. To hold me when I am sad, that I can hold and comfort when he is sad. Someone who more than tells me he loves me, but shows me. By kindness and tenderness and understanding. Who understands that at times I want to be held, while at other times I do not want to be touched (need my space time.) Who understands that I need to have my independence. Who won't tell me he loves me because of my compassionate nature, then turn around and use me wanting to help unfortunate animals, against me as a reason to walk out. OK, next?
Myself, I want someone who is willing to love me for the person I am and not judge me because of my CP. I had this once. I am not sure there is anyone like my late husband when it comes to this. I want a man that is willing to comfort me on the days that I need comforting. which in return I can do the same for him. I want a man to keep his word and mean what he says. you know when he says I love You. I want him to mean it and not just say it because I am saying it to him. I also want me time when I just want to be alone . I want the man to realize that I am not punishing him or, I don't love or care for him because I don't want him to touch me on certain times. I want a man that realize there is an us time as well. meaning I want to be alone with him without inlaws his family /friends trying to get him to do things which would not include. I want a man to have a sense of humor when it is the right time to have it. I also want a man a man.

I've been thinking about this for a couple days and I'm not sure I can describe what it is I 'm looking for in a life partner. Hells bells, I've been married multiple times so I guess I haven't figured it out yet....LOL.
I suppose someone near my age, someone who loves animals, shows respect to others, will let me make mistakes without making a federal case out of them. A woman who will listen to my problems and be sure enough of herself to discuss her problems with me. A woman who will live with me every day for the rest of her life and never doubt that she made the right choice when she picked me.
It's hard to describe the feeling that comes over me when I know I'm with the right woman. We just click on so many levels that everything seems right with the world. I don't know any other way to explain it. It isn't about me and what I want, but about "us" and what we can accomplish together.
I think gry said it the best. This what I'm looking for.

That is good to hear, drwho, thank you for sharing.
We all need to feel loved and touching is very important to most people. Not always sexual but just holding hands, kissing, a stroke on the shoulder.

Intimacy in a relationship is so very important. There are lots of times that I'd rather just snuggle up and feel the closeness than to have sex. Don't get me wrong, but I think as we get older and more "settled", sex becomes less of a priority and more of a bonus and a way to bring something special into play. A good no holds barred romp in the sack is pretty damn fun too!!!

I like most of the others who have posted to this site want honesty! I've been on this site for over a year or two. I put out in my profile my disability, wants etc. I've only received 3 replies. Is it too much to ask for a woman who will try and see what I have to offer? Ii has been almost 10 years since my last relationship broke up. She was going through a time when her abusive exhusband was trying to get back in her life. 
She wasn't sure what she wanted. Unfortunately she didn't ask for my input, just broke it off. The fact she would want someone who was abusive over me shattered me as I was not perfect in the relationship but was never verbally or physically abusive. 
If there is someone out there who would like to give a relationship with me a try please let's start talking and see where it goes.

I had to think a bit about it. I want a man who is honest with me. I need to have someone that is willing to see that I'm a whole person and not just my disabilities. I have had too many men just want to meet me so that they can say that they were with a disabled woman. I think that is more hurtful then if they would just let me alone. I feel that I live an active life and have so much to get. The man I would love to be with must try to understand that I do have issues and be understanding about that. I want to be able to share my feelings with him and have him do the same. I just hope that is not too much to ask for.

I want someone honest, a non smoker and someone who has a great sense of humor.
As to my disability, I don't want someone who accepts who I am totally without acting like they are doing a favor to accept me this way.
I want a believer, doesn't have to be my relition but has to have a belief in some higher power.
Someone who likes animals, nature, football, music and good conversation.
Someone who is willing to be friends before anything more.
Someone ambitious.
And finally someone who listens as well as speaks.
