I can agree with some of you that it would be ideal for your 'partner' to have these characteristics. However, the fact that some of you consider it a requirement is rather worrying, considering you're members of a gaming forum (no offence; so am I). I just think it's quite a shallow world and because of that, people are pressured into improving themselves to meet others' standards.
Edit: Crap, didn't realise I bumped. Sorry. I can never tell when my chances of getting on the Internet are being cut to zilch.
