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!

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.

Well on another site if they have skiing as a hobby/passion/interest, I swipe left. Based on nothing more than they silly idea that, I've never been able to afford it so they'll probably not be interested in me anyway. Ridiculous I know.

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.

I absolutely agree, I don’t think intelligence is measured in your level of education, and for me emotional intelligence is more important.

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.

The women I've dated have all been a mixed bag.. on the whole if sex, humour education, looks/outlook wasn't there it was going anywhere. You found out if the sex was any good later on and the relationship either died or carried on.

There wasn't much need to have things in common if you could laugh and chat.

Shared values (morals and ethics) are important. Someone who believes in doing the right thing whether or not it serves their interests.

Compatible lifestyles, eg, a party animal v quieter lifestyle or someone into health and fitness v someone who doesn't exercise and eats crap food.

Similar sense of humour, ie, general observational humour v someone who just takes the piss out of everyone.

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

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.

Me and my significant other basically do everything together. We're pretty much inseparable. I rely on them for so much in life, from simple things like opening a bottle or tying my shoes, to fixing things like my car. I really couldn't be with them. Obviously after so many years together the sex isn't what it once was perhaps, but it's still enjoyable even if it's a lot less often than when we were younger.

Thank you, right hand, almost 49 years together and still going strong. Even helped type this post.

Connection, communication and respect. Obviously attraction too but so long as you make the effort to keep those things alive, you're onto a winner.

Shared values especially if children are involved

I would also add honesty not matter how difficult the conversation is.

Depends what depth of relationship we’re talking about but anything serious and long term needs to have the same opinions on politics, religion/spirituality, sport, family, as well as having pretty much all the same tastes and interests as well as similar humour etc.

I think I’d struggle without shared laughter. Or attractive qualities like being ‘nice’ or ‘kind’ to others etc.

I’ve definitely noticed that what degrees people have make s huge difference. 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. A well read person that only scraped through their GCSEs could be incredibly intelligent

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…

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.

Humour is an absolute must for me, friendship, laughter, that ability to be silly around each other, a laidback, chilled vibe

Passion is another, I love people who have an interest that they speak about and there eyes light up, you can see there love for that subject or activity and it makes there smile widen when they talk about it - I don’t need to share the same passion but I love to hear about the things that make a person tick

Ambition/drive - I adore people with dreams, hopes, wishes and the get up and go to do something about them - that is an attractive quality to me.

Happy go lucky folks who love life, the creative souls - there my kind of people xx

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!

Same what shared sense of humou

Hobbies aren’t a big deal each should have they own

Also if they a hobbie that I haven’t tryed yet or something can be fun to learn so you can share the experience with them

moral and ethics that depends on them

If they want full open both ways

Hafe open both ways

Or fully closed off

Full open both ways would be we both free to have sex with both men and woman off or choose obviously leting the other know afterwards

Have open would be the same concept only the other needs to ok it first

And closed off well that’s easy

I wouldn’t expect them to cheat

If they fancy changing the dynamic for a split second to ither one they can be

You know I seen this nice guy I would like to open the dynamic for a one off then perfect fine

So they get one I get one then close it back off again

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....? "

unconditional love is a hard place to live in

Apart from His dashing looks, sparkling blue eyes and sexy demeanour D wooed me with his charm and humour when we first met. He made me laugh so much and still does. He is a joker!

We shared the same interest in many things and our friendship turned to love. We have similar morals/ethics and work well as a team. This is probably why we are celebrating 25 years together this month.

We know we are blessed. We have lived. And continue to explore our fantasies.

I need someone I can laugh at other people/situations with.

If they don't get my humour then it's a no!!

"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.

Obviously it has to go both ways.

Never mind me, old and bitter these days.

Talking is massive for me. There’s nothing better than when conversation is effortless.

I have a unique sense of humour so I need someone who either shares that or at least gets it.

It helps if we hate the same things too because I love a rant every now and again

I think (now) it’s very important you share a lot of the same interests/morals/beliefs/outlook/sexual appetite.

You are effectively looking for a similar person as yourself unless you don’t think much of yourself of course

Sense of humour is a must for me.

Has to understand and get me and my humour.

Maybe not as dark but I’ll grind her down, eventually, over time.

"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."

Music for me is a deal-breaker tbh , if the other person doesn't have the same interest in the music l love it's bye bye because over time it just doesn't work .

I've never looked for someone like me. People can have a completely different personality but still share values and a sense of humour. It's just how you get along. The sparkle between you.

Hygiene for me and lady in the street freak in the bedroom.

In a serious relationship, someone who is open-minded, caring, sweet, happy, ambitious, sexy, and smart with a playful smile. So superwoman

"Certain things in a relationship?

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.

I think it’s good to have compromise, and an understanding of the other person, especially with their hobbies/spare time. But I’m quite confident in saying every relationship is and has a learning period ( as I’m every day is a school day), you’re as open as you can be (some find this hard), have a great sex life, both are happy, and willing to do things together, but not be in each other’s pockets. I’d say that’s a good base to start from

Being able to see eye to eye.

And that's not a heightist thing

Appreciating each other for their opinions and values and finding common ground

Generally if you make me laugh, then you're half way there

Shared intellect and education level.

Or higher than mine. Lol

I just can’t be turned on if this is missing, no matter how much physical attraction there is!

Openness and someone who supports the things that are important to you and is happy to listen. Worst relationship I ever had was with someone who never expressed how they were feeling.
