| What little treasures... Posted: 2/27/2009 4:07:38 AM | The little hidden treasures that light me up: 1. Unexpected brilliant intellect. When he says something so profound I am astounded. 2. Unexpected and unusual sexiness, like his huge hand lightly stroking his daughter's face. 3. His smell on my pillow. 4. Holding me or touching me when he leaves in a way that is lingering, saying he doesn't want to stop, and values that he is allowed the opportunity to touch me.
What I do? I spoil men. Post-it notes in his lunch. Discovering his secrets and splurging. Like - his college team he loves is the Sooner's, ordering tickets, and Sooner's gear online for V-Day. Easily saying all that I find appealling about him.
Key Ingredients in choosing someone? 1. Integrity 2. Communication ability 3. Humor 4. Intelligence
What will I not tolerate? 1. Abuse - of me, children, animals, parents, or chemicals 2. disrespect - of anyone 3. Dishonorable | |

| What little treasures... Posted: 3/24/2009 4:51:19 AM | WoW !!! A great celebratory thread jeweldancer !!!  There are some very informative and well thought out responses here !!! May I simply choose all of the above ???
What little treasures jazz and rock your world, make you want to stay in that relationship For me, the ultimate prized catch is someone who (is): ~communicative ~ethical in their belief system ~accepts me in an as is condition ~the rare ability to understand me ~not afraid to feel or express emotions ~has a rather quirky sense of humour  ~in possession of a strong moral compass ~can be my best friend, confidante and lover ~has a predisposition for meandering through life ~an independent thinker ... creative ... imaginative ~a free spirit who actively chooses not to flow the flock ~is spiritual ... recognizes there's a higher power than us ~realizes there's more to life than a mad dash for the cash ~fits together with me like an elusive piece of a jigsaw puzzle ~a perpetual student and progressive participant of our existence here ~treats all with kindness, dignity and respect; no matter their rank in life ~is both cognizant of and secure with regard to his personal shortcomings ~has taken the time and made the effort needed to truly know and remain true to himself ~actively seeks, finds and learns the lessons taught by erroneous decisions and painful times ~an optimist who exhibits a tendency to see the humorous side of even the worst case scenarios
how do these little treasures honor your world? He enables me to feel proud yet humbled, empowering within me a semblance of worthiness and appreciation for his presence in my life. It's entirely without fear that we walk together ... side by side ... hand in hand, into the future ... our future ... wherever and whatever that may entail. 
What little treasures do you give back that jazz you just because you can? The trust and faith that he would never intentionally hurt me, in any way. He'd also be a co-owner of the only undeniably immeasurable and everlasting parts of me ... my heart ... my soul ... all that I am or ever will be.
What would be the key ingredients for you when you are choosing a mate Mainly as mentioned above in the little treasures that rock my world. I could add: ~loyal ~honest ~patient ~supportive ~trustworthy ~totally accepting ~able think in terms of us vs. me ~the ability to give as well as receive ~committed to moving forward together in our journey ~a realist who understands and is capable of loving without attaching conditions
what would you not tolerate from another ~narcissism ~dishonesty ~a chronic taker ~excessive substance abuse | |

| What little treasures... Posted: 3/24/2009 9:55:29 AM | Laughter, is very important. And to have the same sick sense of humor as me. Also, remembering and participating in all the little things that make and keep us bonded. Such as letting, or asking me to rub cream on your bald head. ;) | |

| What little treasures... Posted: 3/24/2009 10:22:58 AM | | A key ingredient for me would be their relationship with others. This is the best gage and usually is foolproof. Your friends and family will tell it like its nobody's business. If they have absent friends and family what the heck, well I know whats up girl! | |

ok well... the main things which strike a high note with me is a man who exudes wit, common sense, and consideration.....I would say a symphony of these elements work well makes for a harmonious union , inciting a melody of passion in my heart... if not he can beat it..
