I don't have any. Because I don't want a mate. As I am happy to be alone. But if I did?
1. True self being with no falseness.
2. Someone who is genuine, and sincere.
3. Someone who is thoughtful and has genuine care.
4. Someone who is respectful.
5. Appreciate the small things.
There my 5 top priorities. And that's what I would want in a mate/partner. Maybe too much want, maybe that's why I'm single, BUT! happy now to be single.

I'm married. This is a combination of what I was looking for and traits I appreciate.
1. A woman who fears the Lord. A serious Christian.
2. Dedication to prayer, praising God.
3. God consciousness in decision making and a desire not to sin against God.
4. Sexual purity. (At the time, virginity, no fornication, and now, does not commit adultery.)
5. Honesty.
6. Respectful.
7. Embraces Biblical teachings on commitment in marriage (and not divorcing easily).
8. Embraces submission and respect, her Biblical role as wife.
9. Forgiving.
10 Sexual diligence. Takes meeting husbands sexual needs seriously. (The idea of it.)
11. Hard-working.
12. Feminine.
13. Good-looking.
14. Good-cooking
15. Loving.
16. Loves children.
There is some overlap between categories.
For number 10, you can only discuss before marriage. I Corinthians 7 is a good passage.
I didn't have any specific education requirements. But I suppose I wanted her to be literate. My wife was fairly close to having a degree when we met.

I want love
. A God-fearing man is a must of course. As for my priorities and perks :
-A fun, laidback man. Someone who is able to laugh at himself and see things with a light of humor.
-A wise man, sober-minded and able to make decisions based on God's wisdom, not his wisdom.
-Someone responsible.
-A man who is open to explore new things, and preferably someone who hates being stuck in a routine.
-Likes children and wants children.
This is not a priority but I would love that he liked videogames and reading books. And also mexican food! Oh and hopefully he would be interested in practicing a sport together, like tennis.

I have never been in a relationship, but other than being a lover of the Lord, I do have some things I would have to say are so essential:
1) Kindness, especially with her words. Proverbs 12:18 The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
2) A good mix of gentle yet strong. Not someone who's a doormat yet someone who also isn't going to be overbearing and dominate someone.
3) A person who looks to build up her guy, not tear him down. The importance of words, folks. I have seen many couples beat each other up with words, with or without the person in the room. If you say "I hate you and I never loved you", how is your partner supposed to feel but rejected?
4) A partner who overlooks his failures and doesn't expect perfection.
5) A person who will just accept me and just doesn't look down on someone for not being as rich or wealthy as someone else.
6) Someone I am attracted to. I feel like it's bad to say that because "beauty is fleeting and charm is deceiving", but I guess I would want someone I'd adore and tell how beautiful she is to me all the time and for her to like it. I'd like for her to appreciate me complimenting her beauty. So I do have to say that physical attractiveness would be something for me.
I have more, but I think that's my starting point.

I'll be earnest, for once, and not post something tongue-in-cheek.
This is actually cut-and-pasted from my profile on one of the meatmarkets:
---
WHO YOU ARE:
-You are a Christian: you're also trying to draw closer to God!
-You are loving and loved: you have important people in your life!
-You have a career or career plan: you are happy in what you do!
-You are health conscious: you need a workout buddy!
-You are intelligent and curious and have interests and hobbies: all work and no play makes Jill a dull girl! They don't even need to be the same as mine!
Bonus points if you can capitalize and punctuate properly! (In THIS day and age, no one should be a poor speller. Then again, I suppose spell check doesn't catch homophones.) I already die a little inside whenever I read my students' essays.
---
Like someone posted on another thread...always better to focus on what you want, rather than what you DON'T want. I will say this, though: one thing that really soured me with The Ex that I pretty much consider a deal breaker is a picky eater. Other than the one or two deal breakers, if you fit the criteria listed, and there's chemistry, consider all systems go! Off to the go-kart track!

You should add gender to the list. I didn't mention 1 through 3 in my list. Actually, my wife's English wasn't that good. I wasn't that great at her language but probably spoke it better than she spoke mine when we met. We learned from each other. It's funny some of the misunderstandings we had based on language issues. I was trying to clarify that we should be more than just friends, and she thought I was trying to reinforce that idea. She kept calling me 'brother' which she translated from her language as a polite form of address since I was older than she was, but which I interpreted as her way of keeping me in the friend zone.

Affectionate and loving and romantic and wonderful intimately in love making in holy union so he doesnt (oh head ache always when he may not which does not agree with honesty also on list ) I want a living daily active love life as i am very affectionate i like spouse be same
Attractive (to me) as i to he
sweet (not to sour)
open to same or similar things and goals and way of life as i
I would like him to be wise and interesting and stimulating for each other

He does not have to understand english but i happy if he does or we can communicate very well and understand each other

A clone of me in woman form
But seriously...
A highly intelligent girl, fun, possibly teasey kind of girl, hopefully laid back, loves God, possibly happy to move to a foreign land and wants to be poor with me. Joyful.
Oh - and loves games, board games especially. Slightly obsessed....
