I've pondered on this for a bit, and let me offer a few lyrics and a link.
"Anything plain can be lovely, anything loved can be lost
Maybe I lost my direction, what if our love is the cost?
Anyone perfect must be lying, anything easy has its cost
Anyone plain can be lovely, anyone loved can be lost" - by

Alright! ON THAT NOTE (pun intended), I think physical looks (though somewhat ambiguous) really do fall in the eye of the beholder. Someone might be lovely to me that's plain to someone else. None of us (except Jesus) are perfect, though we do aim for it. (with God's help, as we Methodists believe, perfection in the form of complete surrender CAN be attained in THIS life...though it's extremely hard and really rare...)
So, that pretty much takes care of the physical looks choice. I mean, granted, it's a little harder to be attracted to someone like quazi-moto...but I love that guy! He even gets a girl in the second movie!! I digress, however, and do understand that beauty if fading, but then...what is beauty really? I think being beautiful is something that hold no limits of age, fashion, or preference. It simply is. God created it, like other things, from Himself. (Well, 'God's self I should say, as 'He' surpasses gender or form, nonethless...)
As far Humor goes...people find different things funny. Sometimes I crack up at someone. Sometimes I moderately chuckle. Sometimes it's a smile. Other times...I sort of...shoot them down...in flames of blazing glory...pity really...my bad. That said, as long as they know how to be both serious and light hearted, I think the 'humor' thing finds its place. I don't need a comedian as a spouse (though it would be entertaining...). I just need someone who can have fun.
I guess that leaves 'smarts', as it were. Well, I would very much like an intelligent individual. I mean, you like to have challenging and engaging conversation with those you know and love. Then again, sometimes someone who just listens is nice too. I think it was Margret Thatcher's husband who said something like, "Better to stand quietly in the background with everyone wondering whether or not your an idiot, than to open your mouth and prove so." I suppose there are many types of 'wisdom' and 'intelligence'.
Well, what did we come to the conclusion of after all this?!!?!?!? It depends. Really, they're all negotiable, and rarely do you ever find someone at an extreme. So, I'll take you as you are! ...kind like Jesus!! (lol, I had to throw that in there...)
For me...it's not a 2 out of 3, but a 3 out of 3 in an entirely different list. I've posted it before, but here's another GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY!!
1. Loves God more than anything/anyone (Seriously. I'm not saying she has to be a saint, but just that she really loves God, would do anything for Him, and is trying her best at their relationship, you know? ...or if not her best, at least trying...)
2. Loves me more than anyone else! (I used to let children get thrown in there, but someone wisely pointed out--on this site actually--that children grow up and leave...or die sometimes...and your spouse needs to love YOU more than even them...seriously...)
3. God says it's all good for us to be together. (Sort of the 'thumbs up', 'seal of approval', 'being ordained', or whatever else you wanna call it.
Everything after that is the 'flesh and appearance', luxury and niceness, ext....but that is definitely the skeleton!!! So yeah...
