Lol I never thought we'd see this one again.
I know looks are a tricky topic, and really, I don't think it's wrong to value them as long as you're realistic. A Dose of Buckley actually did an episode on sleezy, average at best looking guys stalking obviously great looking women on dating sites. You have to be honest with your own appearance, and not try to hunt ideals while simultaneously refusing to care about making yourself an ideal. I also can't help but feel that creating an "ideal" image results in comparing it to anyone who isn't that, and inevitably they'll look worse.

Anyway I know no one cares to hear about an extensive analysis of my ideal partner, so let me try to write this in a slightly more relatable way.
That being said, I personally don't really have huge appearance preferences nor do I demand high standards. I don't think I'd ever really look for "hot babes", I feel like the worse aspects of appearances can also help make someone appear more human, and I'd probably feel uncomfortable being with someone who invests so much time on looks anyway. We grow old, we grow used to each other, looks are going decrease in value anyway.
That being said, I'm surprised no one seems very picky on personality. A couple of you mentioned religion which, yeah, I probably wouldn't get together with someone religious. No disrespect intended, I just know that your way of observing things and thinking is certainly going to be very different. I'm not much of a science freak, I just personally find it a bit naive to assume that life'll end in flowers and roses (Not intending to offend anyone's believes here, you're free to disagree), and I generally just don't agree with the Bible's way.
Then there's interests, how do you guys feel on this one? I feel like I kinda would want this "dream girl/man" to enjoy at least some of the games, movies, music, etc. One of my main problems with friendships is that people often find my taste too eccentric or just don't care about what I enjoy. I'd like to, for example, share my extreme interest for music with someone, rather than them just being polite and listening to please me. I do think you gotta be open to new things as well, but, it just seems kinda off to me to still keep these personal things to myself in a relationship.
Other than that, I just want them to click with me. I get along with most people, but I almost never form bonds with them. I just don't get close with people, or they don't with me, and well, that's how my loneliness problem has come into existence in the first place. I want to feel confident in my ability to talk about personal topics, that we're equal to each other, and like our relationship is actually enhancing both of our lives. I don't expect to ever stop being very shut away from people, so really, I'd view the ideal relationship as "being alone together".
Oh and, I wanna go on vacation man. I don't need to go hiking in hot weather or something, but I don't wanna hang around a resort all day either.
