I Must Not Fear

About a week and a half ago, I did a long, rambling, poorly spelled post which I kept private.

I'm going to distill it and post it now.

What do I look for in a partner/lover/date/etc?

There is no one physical characteristic, no specific recipe for this. I am never any good at "want ads" because there are so many factors to consider. Foremost among them is that a person be him or herself!

If you want to attract my interest, may I suggest the following?
Physical: Be reasonably healthy. Be Human. Have your own face.

Everything else:
Love. Know how to love, know how to be loved. Love yourself enough to forgive yourself for your faults, without being blind to them.
Kindness. If you have no genuine kindness in your heart, I have no use for you.
Strength. Be strong, and know what is strength and what is brute force. Know what is strength, and what is inflexibility.

Other than that, you could be in any package with any set of skills at any level in your life and I might find you attractive.


That's all.
