1: What traits are most important to you in a prospective partner?

Ridiculously attractive. Chill. Trustworthy. Artistically talented.

2: What kind of role would you want your partner(s) to play in your life?

I'd like a partner who raises my status by her classiness/beauty/awesomeness. Basically, a chick I can be hella proud of being seen with and associated with.

3: How much time would you spend together, ideally?

Every night and some hours most days.

4: How important is it to you that you share similar tastes?

Somewhat important that my partner does not have strong likes or dislikes that are low social status. Mildly important to have actually similar tastes. I seem to get a big kick out of the few chicks who like dubstep and half-ironic sexism as much as I do.

5: How important is it that you be ideologically similar?

I like ideologically apathetic chicks. Anybody who cares about any ideology is wrong, except for the smarter class of Singularitarians, and it would annoy me to have to ignore all of the wrongness of a girl who wasn't very reflective but still passionate about political positions et cetera.

6: What, if anything, are your dealbreakers?

For a 'relationship' my standards are high enough such that a huge number of things are dealbreakers. The most obvious dealbreaker is lack of gorgeousness, which disqualifies a pretty huge population of women. Beyond that the next big filter is lack of trustworthiness. Passionate ideology is almost a dealbreaker but there are probably exceptions where a chick's passion is cute in some way and not merely epistemically contemptible.

Love it. I plan to quote that. :)

By the way - excellent signalling via screening you have going there. I'm definitely convinced that you must be hot and suave to be able to declare such high standards so matter-of-factly. ;)
