-can help drive while you eat maccas
Or will feed you Maccas while you drive. I find that works better.

I don't have strict criteria per se. Like everyone else, I'd like them to be attractive but according to my friends, people I think are attractive are apparently quirky looking.

It'd be nice if they had similar interests in music and literature but these days, anymore who reads any kind of books is pretty good :p

But really, I've found that I like people with very different personal characteristics but basic common aspects are that they're reasonably intelligent, funny in a black humor kind of way and fairly nice people.

I like who I like, regardless of what boxes they may tick on a list of criteria.

hmmm I find its the combination of qualities/features that would determine if that person is worth it to me. For example if a girl was funny/smart but not nice, doesnt work clearly. Smart/nice could work and funny/nice might work as well, granted that they aren't completely retarded just average.

oh, let's see.

uhm...

pretty much someone who is cleaned properly and dressed appropriately. I like people with open and honest faces, and want someone who will make me laugh and accept me for who I am. Someone that will tell me when something's wrong, so it can be discussed and we can move forward.

well, when I said 'accept me', it was more an 'accept me and my screwed up family as we unfortunately come as a packaged deal. don't run away when dad pulls out weaponry, it's just the test.'

In terms of looks:
- 7/10+
- Thin girls tend to age better
- I have a soft spot for dark girls (cornish, spanish, otherwise)

Call me shallow, but I want someone I'm going to be sexually attracted to.

In terms of personal characteristics it's hard to say. I've dated girls who could be a female clone of me, a girl with bipolar, a few loud Spanish girls and a girl so quiet at 19 she can count the number of times she's drank on one hand.

All of them had completely different personalities/stereotypes but worked due to their own unique nuances.

Just generally I'd want someone who can get along with my friends and family, but if I care enough about them even that's optional. Coming from a background where I was picked on a fair bit as a kid, being a tad unconventional, having some emotional depth and being a little clingy is a must.
