some people are kickin' around a lot of horseshit on this post.

I don't see why some of you are making it seem like there is some kind of mutual exclusivity between being responsible and loyal with romantic and spontaneous. There is absolutely nothing mutually exclusive about those two qualities. One can still be responsible and loyal, but also romantic and spontaneous. I consider myself to be that type of person.

With that being said, I want a woman who will not piss me off more then please me while remaining faithful.

But if they were - what would you pick?

Intelligent, passionate and can make me laugh...of those laughter is the most important b/c at the end of the day, I just wnat to be with someone who makes me smile.

Ain't that the truth?

Sorry I can't answer that one because I see no correlation at all between the two sets of characteristics. Now had the choices been...

Responsible and non-romantic
Irresponsible and romantic

Loyal but not fun/spontaneous
Not so loyal but fun/spontaneous

Now you have characteristics that are mirror opposites in which people cannot possess both sets. Which one would you choose now?

You're a pysch major aren't you?

If you want to make it more complex for people go right ahead.

I do recall saying this:

I didn't make it clear but I chose romantic/spontaneous and responsible/loyal because they represent a larger generalization of two groups that people tend to fall in.

I should not have offer option 3 or 4 because no matter what you look for in a person most people will fall into a catergory or behave one way or the other in a relationship.

So if you had to pick one or the other which would you choose?

Of course this doesn't represent all people all the time and your mileage may vary, yadha, yadha...

Skimmed most of the thread and missed that post of yours. If I had to choose between the two, I pick neither.

ps.... Not a psych major.
