Do you look for relationships that add to your life?

[slowlife]

We've all been in a few relationships or at least one. What do you look for? Do you look for a relationship that adds to your life or do you not really care and go with the flow? To take it further, do you value substance over superficiality? Personality over looks for example or do you look for just one thing maybe a deep connection?

I look for someone who is emotionally mature and self-aware, non-judgemental, politically aligned with me, kind. They have to like food lol, it's essential. Someone who is silly is a big plus. My life is pretty sorted so I'm not looking for someone who wants to start a family or move in together; rather someone I can have fun with and see only once or twice a week. My main relationship is with my best friend and my partners need to understand that: we are going to live together and grow old together. I'm not interested in doing that with someone I'm physically or romantically involved with.

Thanks for confirming I'm not the only one who thinks this way. Finding someone emotionally mature is difficult but I think it's necessary for any relationship to not be toxic.

Yeah I’ve spent so much time over the years learning to communicate with others and understand myself, I’m interested in others who can do the same.

This is nice.
Someone who gets me, I get her, we share private jokes, we laugh -together- at our foibles and yeah, not living together but spend enough time together we are more than the FWB thing.
Mind you as I travel along times arrow and I hope it will keep letting me travel for a long time yet but at some time I would like someone there. So when I've fallen and can't get up, they can either help me up or at least give me a blow job while I'm lying there, you know just to make me more comfortable.

I honestly don’t know, I haven’t been in a relationship, no matter how much I wanted one... so I guess I stopped looking for one.

 

[WMD0991]

I guess it should be something that adds to my life, but I have learned to be more flexible.

The feeling that I am adding to her life as much as she is adding to mine is pivotally crucial.
Oh, and big titties are good too. 😂

I saw the title of the thread and I thought it was perhaps the dumbest question I’ve heard in a while

My relations are according to my finances......
Mostly 1hr at a time....

 

[blakealridge]

My hourly rate is $550. You can PM me if you would like a date.

Oh my god that’s hilarious I have never heard that joke before in my entire life
I can’t breathe I am laughing so hard
My body is convulsing with mirth
The hilarity has consumed my soul

While I get what OP is trying to get at, it was a very poorly phrased question.. is there anyone that isn't looking for a relationship that adds to their life? Even if someone were to be dating for superficial things and looks, you can't say that isn't adding something to their life either.

I guess there are some benefits to being banned from the board for 'a while'.

i just go with the flow. follow your heart . if it feels right or not

my mom on the other hand likes to get involved in my relationship affairs. she tells me to find a gf/wife that can provide value to me and the family( smarter than me, better career than me, mentor to me, guide me through life , traditional mindset and wants a daughter in law who can cook and clean , comes from a family that also owns a home-similar in class/wealth or higher) .
not easy as one ages it gets harder to find someone . im in my 40s.

Looks only last for about an hour for me before I get bored. I think compatibility, kindness and chemistry is far more important than substance or looks. Sure she can have a great career/etc/etc but if there's no chemistry, then it's just not going to work.

Can I count on you to be a relationship that adds to my life?
