1: What traits are most important to you in a prospective partner?
Curiosity, analytic intelligence, emotional maturity, sex-positivity, the ability to admit to being wrong or making mistakes.
2: What kind of role would you want your partner(s) to play in your life?
Depends strongly on the person in question and our current life-circumstances. My current girlfriend and I are quite serious, so if I start dating anyone new it would be with the intention of taking things slow for a while.
3: How much time would you spend together, ideally?
I try to spend time with my girlfriend every day. For someone new, maybe a night or two a week? Relationships vary, and I don’t like forcing them into uncomfortable shapes.
4: How important is it to you that you share similar tastes?
Moderately. Having mutual interests to talk about is really quite nice.
5: How important is it that you be ideologically similar?
I couldn’t date someone who wasn’t some kind of humanist. Beyond that, I’m flexible.
6: What, if anything, are your dealbreakers?
Anger problems, sex-negativity, controlling behavior, extreme religious or political views. I’m unusually sensitive to markers of abusive relationships, because there are some mistakes that should only be made once.
