must haves & can't stands

This is apparently what I marked for my must haves/can't stands when I signed up for compatible partners:

Must Haves:
  • Communicator... I must have someone who is good at talking and listening.
  • Chemistry... I must feel deeply in love with and attracted to my partner.
  • Ambition... I must have a partner who shares my desire to achieve high financial and/or career goals.
  • Spiritual Acceptance... My partner must accept and respect my spiritual beliefs, whether they share them or not.
  • Shared Politics... I must have someone who has political beliefs which are the same or similar to my own.
  • Verbal Intimacy... I must know that my partner is sharing their deepest emotional thoughts and desires.
  • Affectionate... I must have someone who is comfortable giving and receiving affection.
  • Industriousness... I must have someone who is willing to work hard at whatever they do.
  • Kindness... I must have a partner who is gentle and kind.
  • Tolerant... I must have a partner who is able to hear and appreciate divergent viewpoints.


Can't Stands:
  • Pessimism... I can't stand someone who always sees the glass as half empty.
  • Rude... I can't stand someone who is belittling, impatient or hateful to people in any situation.
  • Anger... I can't stand someone who can't manage their anger, who yells, or bottles it up inside.
  • Cheating... I can't stand someone who takes advantage of people.
  • Vanity... I can't stand someone who is overly interested in their physical appearance.
  • Dependence... I can't stand someone who bases their happiness on me.
  • Racist... I can't stand someone who believes that any particular ethnic group to which they belong is superior to the rest of humanity.
  • Lying... I can't stand someone who lies to anyone-especially to me.
  • Judgmental... I can't stand someone who finds fault with everyone and everything.
  • Gossip... I can't stand someone who loves to talk about other people.

  2. I don't know how much it helps. Maybe if I used it as an absolute and didn't think things like, "Well, maybe" then I'd weed out a few more. The desire for love can mess up the process :)
