To go a bit beyond Liamson's Companion Positive Attributes Poll (actually, to go right over the edge), this is the question:

What attributes/quirks/habits would you put up with in a significant other? Some things are absolutely out-of-the-question, but what are the things that you'd just overlook?

...and since I didn't click the 'multiple options' button...you can only pick one. Shoot.

I was TOTALLY digging this poll... Until I saw that you could only pick ONE attribute!!!!

REFUND! REFUND!!! I demand to have my vote taken back! (Well, I suppose I could settle for "other".)

Call me impossibly picky... but I simply cannot choose just ONE of these traits. There are at least 3 or so that I absolutely couldn't stand.

Never mind how many would describe ME. :D

I know...there really should be an 'Edit' button for the poll.

What I was really curious about was not so much the things you couldn't stand, but more the things you wouldn't mind...such as, I can't stand someone who is constantly late, but I wouldn't mind a nail-biter...

Seoulsearch brought up an excellent idea though.

What are things in our own life that we do not like, or that others may find Offensive?

Absolutely do not like the Drama thing. There is enough Drama going on without someone having to add to it artificially.
Also the spending every cent might bring up a few problems unless it is their budgeted money for their own expenses...
Everything else can be either overlooked or balanced out somehow...

I had to go with the drama thing, though there are a couple of other things that would get on my nerves long term. Life has enough drama of its own without someone creating more.

Let's see...my flaws:

- drive too fast
- tendency to describe other drivers' flaws colorfully
- organized neat freak (just this side of OCD)
- use all of the hot water
- snore
- a bit too adventurous for some folks
- a lil stubborn
- a lil too honest/transparent at times; should maybe keep more to myself LOL
- collector of shoes
- I like the smell of new books and am not above sniffing them in public
- I hate elastic anything
- I let my gas guage get too low all the time
- I hate slimey foods
- I can be too quiet at times

If you are someone who is constantly late, you may not want to read the following.

I cant stand someone who is always late. It drives me crazy. That is something that is not tolerable at all. I think it is very rude and inconsiderate. To me, people who are consistantly late are selfish and have very little respect for others.

I wouldn't like Drama Kings either but all the others I think I can tolerate.

There are many things on that list I could overlook. I'm scatter brained, but my husband loves me anyhow. He has a difficult time being wrong, sometimes it's annoying but I can over look it. I tap my fingers, bite my nails and twirl my hair. I'm one big freak show.
