Hm... I'll give it a shot. I've heard I'm too picky, but hey, I'm describing my dream girl!
Physical: She's attractive, with long, lean muscles and hair that is a deep, deep black. She has a slightly angular face, large eyes, narrow shoulders, and slim waist. She's anywhere from 5'3" to 5' 11", thin (but not too thin), and extremely strong. She's probably asian. (It wasn't until I was in college that I even realized that it was okay for asian men to date non-asian women...and I guess by then, I had already been brainwashed
). She has a soft sounding voice and a bright laugh. She's athletic and loves rock climbing, swimming, running, and martial arts. She enjoys meditating and doing yoga.
Personality: She's intelligent, but not an intellectual. She's sociable, but doesn't have to be and doesn't look down loners. She loves the outdoors and animals. She has a few interests that she loves and has a deep understanding of. She enjoys reading. She's creative. She can be impulsive and a little wild... she might wake me up in the middle of the night to go for a run, or surprise me with unexpected plans. She's mature enough to let me take her out and pay for her most of the time without thinking I'm disrespecting her independence. She enjoys being with me and doesn't flirt with other guys once we start dating, but doesn't treat them awkwardly either. She's mature enough to not get jealous if I talk to other girls. She's rarely indecisive. She has goals but is flexible and doesn't tie her self-confidence to meeting them. She's not a complex person - her primary ambition is to have a happy, contented, peaceful, meaningful life. She has a simple, honest self-awareness- she doesn't confuse herself but she but doesn't over-philosophize either. She's optimistic and laughs often. She's compassionate, but not an idealist. She likes going out to nice restaurants, but also doesn't mind staying home sometimes.
Lol... I think I just described a female version of myself, only more sociable, likable, and self-confident.
As for traits about myself that other people have been bothered by... I've been told before that I can seem overly intense, cold, distant, intimidating, or unapproachable. In my last relationship, my girlfriend complained that I was too active. "Not everyone wants to get up and do three different sports before noon!" she would yell at me... and then go back to sleep. She was exaggerating, of course...three different sports before dinner, possibly.
