If you had a choice of the perfect man or woman(or other) what would the person be?

What would be the design of your perfect prince charming, or beautiful princess?

Also, nothing is off limits here. If you want the person to have super powers(like if you wanted to have superman as your husband, or wonderwoman as wife, or if you wanted your current spouse to have those powers) then they could have them in this hypothetical scenario.


Also, supposing your current spouse is the perfect person other than human limitations, what super powers would you want your spouse to have?


So who/what would it be

[kpeavey]

A regular Jane or Betty without 4 kids and 4 ex husbands, with her head screwed on right and her ducks lined up.

If she can fix small engines, it would be a real help.

[hubbertspeak7777777]

A mute, nympho live in maid with natural d-cup size breasts... 5'8" 125lbs.

[Ivan_M]

and emotionally stable, intelligent, slightly geeky, nymphomaniac who stands to inherit a few billion dollars.

[Pops]

A gal who knows about working, scrimping, scrapping, sewing, cooking, baking, growing, canning, mothering, friendship and everyone's birthday.

Just like Susan.

Interesting that the ladies haven't chimed in here. I suspect it would be something like a guy who knows about working, scrimping, scrapping, sewing, cooking, baking, growing, canning, fathering, friendship and everyone's birthday.

Would you really want somebody perfect around all the time?

I mean I seem far from perfect myself right now... imagine how I'd look standing next to perfection every day.

Thanks, but I'll take the good-natured, thoughtful, imperfect woman for $1,000 Alec.

Nah, just kidding. My spouse is perfect, and we learn a lot from each other.

Just like my first (and present) wife, but with money.

There you go A. another name to add to the list!

[PenultimateManStanding]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Pops', '

[Pops]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PenultimateManStanding', 'S')o Sue don't sew. Alright, so we leave sewing and baking off the list.

...be authentic, ethical, passionate (if both of us aren't that passionate, we will probably end as friends) and fuckable.

~A good mother
~can cook chinese friend dumplings
~a sex kitten
~Has never read The Canterbury Tales. [specifically the Wife of bath's tale: what do women want most....to rule over men]
~understands economics
~roughly an intellectual equal. Neither inordinately above or below.
~can deal with my bullion hoarding and black powder muskets/pistols
~finds musketeers an EXTREME turn on
~likes Siberian huskies (and all other dogs)

[lawnchair]

The extreme low-maintenance of my girlfriend kicks all kinds of butt. Wears makeup maybe once a year. Maybe. Pretty content to be poor. That's worth quite a bit to me.

Other than that... has to be damn smart. Not to be too boastful, but I'm fairly confident I'm at about the 1-in-1000 level. My gal is too. This is awesome. She can do math. She 'gets' maps. These are rare traits in the general population.
