silic0ntoad Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 While I think it's fine and dandy to have a list of wants and needs, what's the whole "Oh, gosh, he had a ONS, or was promiscuous! It's over!" about? Just because someone slept around BEFORE YOU doesn't mean they are cheaters, or that they will sleep around on you.
CLC2008 Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Hey, CLC, I don't think there's a good or bad list. Figuring out what drives you is what's good! Have you tried applying your list to past relationships? Yes. On LTR's? 1st - he scored 8 out of 12 on "Needs" and 7 out of 10 on "Wants" 2nd - he scored 6 out of 12 on "Needs" and 5 out 10 on "Wants" I think there are some other needs/wants I've left out, so I will need to ammend it.
Author threebyfate Posted January 4, 2010 Author Posted January 4, 2010 I see that Tigress and Crazy Magnet have done their lists. Good for you! I think there are some other needs/wants I've left out, so I will need to ammend it.I have too and deliberately left off some, but it's good enough for this exercise on LS. I think back to when I first met my ex-H. The list I kept in my mind, was a helluva' lot smaller, particularly the needs section. Since that time, including the experience with the ex and also, some of the guys I got involved with, taught me that the more filters I put into place, the less time and emotion I wasted. I even went back to some of my past relationships and found significant failures in each one, not because they were all such horrific individuals but because each time, somethings were off. These lists aren't cast in stone, in that sometimes, wants become needs and needs become wants, due to stage in life. A couple more things I do suggest: Take a look at your needs and try to prioritize them. The ones that fall to the very bottom might not be needs. Looking at my own list, I can see a few that can be shuffled. Also, flag each need with an S for superficial need. If your needs list is predominantly superficial, it might be worthwhile to consider if you're looking deep enough into what drives you. Perhaps your needs list is an accurate reflection of who you are and if so, that's okay too.

If your needs list is predominantly superficial, it might be worthwhile to consider if you're looking deep enough into what drives you. Perhaps your needs list is an accurate reflection of who you are and if so, that's okay too. These are all really good points to consider. I know that with each relationship I had, I subtracted and added some needs, and more importantly, my needs became less and less superficial. I was able to learn much more about what drives me. I'm satisfied with my current list. Like you said, due to stage in life, some needs become wants and wants become needs. For example, my want being "He's nice to kids"--might change to a need later in life if I decide I really want kids (I'm undecided as yet). Like "Must love kids/must want kids". I realized that I didn't put down "Must want to be married someday" as a need, or even as a want. I guess while I do want that at some point, it's definitely not an urgent issue now. I'd say by the time I hit my mid-late 20s it'll be featured prominently on the list. Edit: Haha, I did forget something important on the 'need' list--He must be respectful, courteous and generous to those in the service industry. I have little respect for those who don't tip sufficiently enough without any reason, and no respect for those who don't at least treat service workers kindly. I cleaned rooms in hotels for 5 consecutive summers and you wouldn't believe how many people thought my cleaning up after them was more than enough excuse to be rude to me. I think when you look at how someone treats those who serve/cater to them, you get an inside look at how they'll treat you and others. Edited January 4, 2010 by tigressA
Crazy Magnet Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I think my needs list is pretty bare bones. Sure I NEED lots of things, but I tried to pick what I can't live without. When I have more time I think I'll reorder my list because the marriage/kids and fiscally responsible need to be much closer to the top!
greengenie Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I haven't seen anything on religion. Is nobody very concerned about that, or is everybody just forgetting?
meerkat stew Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I haven't seen anything on religion. Is nobody very concerned about that, or is everybody just forgetting? People capable of making 60+ item long criteria lists for a mate are generally not very spiritually deep.

If you end up in an LTR with someone, which spans over 5 years, your needs will more likely change over the course of the relationship. Imagine investing so much time with someone who drops the bomb on you 5 years later, that he never wants kids or ever wants to be married. I think my needs list is pretty bare bones. Sure I NEED lots of things, but I tried to pick what I can't live without. When I have more time I think I'll reorder my list because the marriage/kids and fiscally responsible need to be much closer to the top! Amend at will and need. Glad you're thinking long-term though. I haven't seen anything on religion. Is nobody very concerned about that, or is everybody just forgetting?Good point. I'm an atheist who's tolerant of religion, as long as my partner is also tolerant of my atheism. As long as he's not a fundamentalist or someone who tries to ram it down my throat, it's all good. I did get lucky though. My husband is also an atheist so there wasn't anything to be concerned about. Back when, for my first marriage, the ex was RC. Back when, I was also a Christian "believer", but converted to RC since it was more important to him and his family, than it was to me, albeit bothered my parents. I don't know if your gender, due to an ambiguous username, but if you're a woman, feel free to post your own list.

Vertex Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Whoops! I didn't even really realize this topic was about "building men" -- I just saw the list format and thought it was an interesting exercise. XD
Author threebyfate Posted January 5, 2010 Author Posted January 5, 2010 Maybe with your ground-breaking list for a woman, other thoughtful male members will also post their lists. I do ask that the lists be tasteful and respectful of both genders. Posturing or agenda-based lists are not welcome.

Author threebyfate Posted January 5, 2010 Author Posted January 5, 2010 Okay this list business is starting to get complicated. Do whatever works for you. Just throwing in some fine-tuning suggestions!

Thank you for the suggestion
fral945 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 These are not listed by order of importance, I just put numbers to see how many I have in each. Needs: 1. Honest 2. Kind heart 3. Somewhat educated 4. Reasonable 5. Accountable (this covers financially as well) 6. Not super high-maintenance 7. Non-smoker 8. Believes in and lives a healthy lifestyle 9. Willing to try new things 10. Shares or accepts my agnosticism 11. Emotionally stable 12. Has a desire to start a family one day 13. Physically attractive (in my eyes) 14. Physically affectionate 15. Sexually open and regularly available 16. Isn't offended or bothered if I look at porn sometimes 17. Can communicate and talk openly about problems or issues in a calm and rational manner 18. Willing to make compromises 19. Does not expect me to read her mind all of the time 20. Loves me and is loyal to me while we are involved 21. Adaptable 22. Is not a bitter and spiteful person Wants: 1. Big boobs 2. Not a big drinker 3. No kids 4. Has a balance in her work and life 5. More of a homebody than a social butterfly 6. Independent thinker 7. Enjoys cooking 8. Not an idealist 9. Somewhat clean 10. Makes me think and teaches me new things 11. Someone who prefers finding natural remedies to health problems rather than using pharmaceuticals I was gonna give you ladies a hard time about your long lists, but mine has ended up being pretty long as well. Looking at my current GF, at the start of our relationship I had questions or thought there were (or might be) issues with about 5 of the 22 needs I listed. At the current time I still think there are 2 or 3 of my needs that are still in question. I have to say, though, it's a drastic improvement from the previous girl I dated. She only met about 4 of my 22 needs listed . That's probably why our relationship was so short lived.
CLC2008 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 Do whatever works for you. Just throwing in some fine-tuning suggestions! This was a good thread you posted, for both genders. It also helps to see things more clearly. I think most "wants" though, can teeter on the line of superficial (not including the PMS one ).
Author threebyfate Posted January 5, 2010 Author Posted January 5, 2010 Yes, that's true. Alright, my list has been amended. Thank you for the suggestion You're welcome. This was a good thread you posted, for both genders. It also helps to see things more clearly. I think most "wants" though, can teeter on the line of superficial (not including the PMS one ).Thanks. It's nice to hear that it's not only me that it's helped to clarify issues with. Writing something down can also be cathartic. I'm not suggesting that some needs can't be superficial, just questioning whether people are looking deeply enough into what drives them, if the superficial is predominant in needs. Hey fral, welcome! Good lists.
shadowplay Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) After reflecting on what didn't work in past relationships and reading the lists of others, I've added a few to mine and amended some items.

LovieDove24 Posted January 5, 2010 Posted January 5, 2010 (edited) WOAH WOAH WOAH!! Sorry Loveshack! I wrote it in Word first and then copied and pasted. Here is my revised list: Needs: 1) Must value intelligent conversation as (one of) the highest forms of intimacy. 2) Must be spontaneous and spur of the moment. 3) Must have multiple personalities, and no I don't mean a schizo. I just want someone who can chill with the hippies, act classy downtown, be nerdy with the dorks, superficial with the flakes, contribute with the intellects and a goofball with children. In other words, I want someone who won't shun any group of people. 4) Must be confident, confident, confident. 5) Must be a stable, rational man but also able to show emotion from time to time (No men who are mushy round the clock please!) 6) Must be socially and intellectually intelligent. 7) Must be sexually attractive (in my opinion of course). 8) Must be passionate about life. 9) Must share a handful of similar interests as me. 10) Must be outgoing 11) Must be kind hearted Im just going to stop there, anything else would be a wonderful bonus!
