For me three is not enough. Loving is important, but so is compatibility as it sure makes getting along and decision making so much easier. Hence I left off loving, but that is as important to me. Appearance is that first look. It is simply amazing what our brain registers on the first look we get of the special someone. I like romance too, but my choices are too limited. It doesn't matter, because I got it all and then some with Sunshine Girl.
I look for a sense of humor. My mate must be able to see the bright side of the darkest cloud. Times are stressful and I need a sense of balance to the screwed up world when I come home at night. Intellience and loving are very important also. I have been blessed with finding one who meets my needs. Apprearance changes with time, if you want to know what to expect in 20+ years look at your mates mother or father to see what you will likely be living with then.
She has to be rich, I don't want to work and would rather spend time fishing or at the golf course.
She has to be able to make a great grilled cheese sandwich, or maybe a BLT, on command.
She has to love cold weather and the snow.
She needs to love my parents and keep her parents away from me.
She has to keep my dogs brushed, bathed, and well groomed.
She has to love guns, and reloading would help.
Additionally, if she can rebuild a carburetor in the kitchen sink without making a mess, thats cool and a plus.
