*Tentatively looks over the lists of requirements.*
If this is what it takes (as in, do you have to be something like 80% of the list all at once? 95%? Can I slide by with just 15%?), Seoulsearch will obviously be single for a very long time.
(Maybe I'm just afraid to state what I do and do not qualify here for fear of backlash, not that that's ever stopped me before!)

Gotcha! That IS obsessive! wow.....
I babysat my 7 yr old nephew this past weekend (I'd forgotten how painful stepping on Matchbox cars could be in the middle of the night and my dog ate one of his socks, but there were no other casualties). It was actually kinda cool to make a mess for a change! lol
I am tho, I must confess, a compulsive cleaner. I don't ever say anything or complain, I just clean without realizing I'm doing it.
EXAMPLES:
1. I went to a guy's class reunion with him once. Since I didn't know anyone, I decided to just wait in the foyer for him while he stopped in the restroom for a minute. I'd been sitting next to one of those fabric covered walls and when he came back he was laughing at me because I'd been pulling lint off of the wall while I sat there. He reminded me that they probably had someone to handle that.
2. People leave messes (staples, trash, etc.) in the common areas at my office. I'm trying to break myself from this habit, so early in the day I'll tell myself that I'm not the cleaning lady and I'm not going to clean that up.....but....later in the day, while I'm mulling over a case I'm working on and waiting for my copies to finish....I realize that I've been cleaning up the copy room while I was waiting. I've even cleaned the bathrooms and kitchen at my office. They just smile and let me go. LOL
Nervous habit I guess...

Haha the nephew story was cute. Especially the dog-eaten sock lol! It sounds to me like cleaning may be somewhat therapeutic to you, maybe on a subconcious level at least. Thats a good thing. I wish it were that way for me lol. I wouldnt mind that at all in a woman. It would even be a plus as long as she doesnt try to recruit me everytime she starts cleaning something
I've inherited a little of that from her. I don't want a guy to be a neat FREAK, but I could NEVER live with an absolute slob. I'm not someone who has to have the towels folded a certain way or any of that but I at least would want him to do his part.
I was visiting a friend recently and whenever we stopped at a gas station, I would gather up a pile of garbage from her car (with her permission, of course) and throw it away, because that's one of my own personal pet peeves (a car littered with fast food bags, receipts, etc.) She also had a friend come down to meet me and while they were watching a show on TV I'm not particularly fond of (I get bored with a lot of TV programs), I went to the kitchen and did all the dishes from our big dinner feast.
I wasn't trying to be rude, I was just taught to try my best to make a place a little more orderly if I can before I walk out of the room (or vehicle)

I'm glad to see a slight obsession with cleaning can be understandable... Julianna, I hear you, girl!!! Now my Mom is an obsessive cleaner. Whenever we stay at hotels (I usually travel with them once every few years), my Mom actually makes the beds... and if it's an extended-stay place, she washes the dishes by hand (even if there's a dishwasher) and puts them all away. I keep telling her, "Mom, that's what they PAY the maids to do!" But to her, it's therapy.

I agree,except when the guy pays for everything, the woman really should leave him alone. Asking the guy to do something is fine, but NAGGING completely gets under my skin. That's my question, because I don't understand how women find it justified or even good whatsoever. Why do you women nag?
I mean... when I paid for EVERYTHING, I never understood how she could ever possibly yell at me for not taking out the garbage. She would leave to go to work and then say "hunnie take out the garbage before I get home." If I didn't do it, all hell broke loose.
The problem is, if I don't want to take out the garbage in my own home that I pay for, I should be allowed to not take it out until I feel like it. A woman has no right to nag at the man for not being her slave and doing everything she wants on HER time frame. That is the problem I have with it. I'll do things on my own time frame, not a girls. If she doesn't like it, then take out the garbage yourself!
Women expect men to be their slaves when it comes to household chores. They always want things done on their own time instead of when the man wants to do it. If I wanted to be lazy, I was going to be lazy! I paid all the bills. I went to work so that she could even live there. She didn't pay for anything except groceries, and yet she still had the nerve to complain about it. Apparently, women seem to think that its ok for the man to pay all the bills, do everything possible for her to have a place to live, and then also should be her slave and do everything she wants on her time. Women are the most selfish creatures in the world

I'd appreciate a woman who didn't drink pints of beer and who didn't think the pub was the best place in the world to spend time, simply put I'd like a lady....not a woman behaving like a man.
Little things that would make a difference would be a woman with a 'clean as you go' kind of approach to home life, if we all do a little no-one does a lot....I like a tidy home.
Besides that I think not swapping the 'g' on the word thing to a 'k' would be nice....nothink ain't a word.

When I created the heavens and the earth, I spoke them into being.
When I created man, I formed him and breathed life into his nostrils.
But you, woman, I fashioned after I breathed the breath of life into
man because your nostrils are too delicate.
I allowed a deep sleep to come over him so I could patiently and
perfectly fashion you. Man was put to sleep so that he could not
interfere with the creativity.
From one bone I fashioned you. I chose the bone that protects man’s life.
I chose the rib, which protects his heart and lungs and supports him, as you are meant to do. Around this one bone I shaped you. I modeled you, I created you perfectly and beautifully.
Your characteristics are as the rib, strong yet delicate and fragile. You provide protection for the most delicate organ in man, his heart. His heart is the center of his being; his lungs hold the breath of life. The rib cage will allow itself to be broken before it will allow damage to the heart. Support man as the rib cage supports the body.
You were not taken from his feet, to be under him, nor were you taken from his head, to be above him. You were taken from his side, to stand beside him and be held close to his side.
You are my perfect angel. You are my beautiful little girl. You have grown to be a splendid woman of excellence, and my eyes fill when I see the virtues in your heart.
Your eyes--don’t change them. Your lips--how lovely when they part in prayer. Your nose--so perfect in form. Your hands so gentle to touch. I’ve caressed your face in your deepest sleep. I’ve held your heart close to mine. Of all that lives and breathes, you are the most like me.
Adam walked with me in the cool of the day and yet he was lonely. He could not see me or touch me. He could only know me in his soul. So everything I desired Adam to share and experience with me, I fashioned in you; my holiness, my strength, my purity, my love, my protection and support. You are special because you are the extension of me.
Man represents my provision--woman, my emotions. Together you represent the totality of God. So man--treat woman well. Love her, respect her, for she is fragile. In hurting her, you hurt me. What you do to her, you do to me, in crushing her, you only damage your own heart, the heart of your Father, and the heart of her Father.
Woman, support man, in humility, show him the power of emotion I have given you. In gentle quietness show your strength, in love, show him that you are the rib that protects his inner self.

I'm glad to see a slight obsession with cleaning can be understandable... Julianna, I hear you, girl!!! Now my Mom is an obsessive cleaner. Whenever we stay at hotels (I usually travel with them once every few years), my Mom actually makes the beds... and if it's an extended-stay place, she washes the dishes by hand (even if there's a dishwasher) and puts them all away. I keep telling her, "Mom, that's what they PAY the maids to do!" But to her, it's therapy.

When a women acts like a lady then thats enough skills for me. Theres to many Zena's out there today. I'm not complaining everyones allowed to be what they want to be, but I'm just hooked on a women when she presents herself like a lady. I would love to go on a date one day and when I knocked on the door and she opened it all that would come out of my mouth would be a gasp. I'm just an old fashion romantic at heart.
