If you’ve been dating long enough, you finally figure out exactly what you’re looking for in someone to spend your life with, no matter how weird or specific it might be. A post in the subreddit r/AskWomenOver40 has people sharing theirs by asking, “What’s a really weird, UNCONVENTIONAL thing that you absolutely NEED in a partner?”
These ladies did not hold back and these are some of the most interesting from hundreds of responses.
- "Cannot be a spitter. If you spit, I’m out"
- "Angry eyebrows. Like, you need to look like you would throw me around. Respectfully."
- "No beards. In my opinion only, not trying to convince anyone else! Men with beards enjoy things I don’t."
- "I wanted someone that wasn't picky about food."
- "Has the skills necessary to do well in a zombie apocalypse."
- "Must be willing to purchase feminine hygiene products without complaint."
- "If they don’t learn my coffee order after a few dates, they don’t care about learning about me."
- "I must have my own room/rooms. My husband and I each have our own bedroom/bathroom/office. If he dies, I am absolutely not changing my ways. I need my space."
- "Must sneeze discreetly. Not keeping the sneeze in, just...don't make a scene every time. Also, they have to cover their mouth and nose properly. Always."
- "Sending memes back and forth is my love language. A guy who doesn’t reciprocate or, worse, sends memes that aren’t funny would be a deal-breaker."
- "Must be handy. I know my way around a toolbox and he should too."
- "Must love all things Halloween as much as I do, which is a LOT."
- "To be allowed to have space to be my feral and unhinged pathetic self at times.”
- "Can’t be a person who gets that thick buildup of saliva in the corners of their mouth. Makes me instantly gag on sight."
- "Open to kinky, fulfilling sex. Life is too short for bad sex."
- "He needs to have the emotional support needs of a cactus because I am not nurturing."
- "I can't do 'half-assed' anything. He has to be capable of following through and doing a good job. I am talking about everything — job, chores, sex, conversations — whatever it is, for F's sake, participate fully and put in the full effort."
