8 Things I look for in my...

Ok so I stole your idea - so?? You should have patented it. Too late now Ille ILLE!

8 Things I look(ed) for in my partner. (see this gets tricky when you know your partner is reading this list and judging himself accordingly .. so DON'T DO THAT PARTNER!)

1. Ability to argue without getting boring, defensive or offensive (the last part is allowed sometimes as long it's accompanied by amazing pampering & tantrum-taking skills )
2. Good humor - cliched- but it matters. Trust me
3. (Long hair optional), ability to play the guitar (preferable), good non-puppy non- dhishchik taste in music (mandatory)
4. Non religious, not conservative (PS : if you voted for BJP - you are out even if you have all the other 7 charactersistics - I guess that's that's impossible), no blatant "isms", and definitely not the type who think they are obliging women by not being sexists (cooking, cleaning, looking after yourself, secure in their masulinity or femininity etc should come naturally)
5. Not the jealous possessive kind
6. Love for adventure and traveling - not the 100th trip to Simla or New York kind of traveling though - it has to be interesting travel
7. Love for beaches, mountains, trees, flowers - and if not too much of such love at least the capacity to understand and apprecite my love for them. Actually scrap the second part - HAS to have love for beaches and mountains
8. Must have read Catcher in the Rye, liked it or conviencingly argue why he did not like it. AND should have heard of and read at least 20 non best sellers..

Although the above list already includes what I am NOT looking for, still...

1. Definitely not the fake listener kind (i am pretending to listen to your dissertation idea while I am thinking of my account sheet/architecture drawings!)
2. Should not be interested too much in finance, stocks, shares, poker, money- thingies
(Should not be able to rattle off the Fortune 500 companies and how much their CEOs are worth)
3. Should not jerk his head distractedly every time a girl in a skirt passes by
4. Should not be obsessed with weights and triceps
5. Should not be a mummy does my shopping, mummy cooks best, mummy bachao type boy
