I haven't been the ideal partner for a few past partners.
I'm only ideal to the other if they are ideal to me.
TO sum it up, if they are God fearing, love children, capable of communicating, forgiving, have a nice sense of humor, and can connect right into me.... then I am ideal.
I dont think I am easy to get on with. I can be very stubourn and I do like my own way. I can be very moody especially when I am hormonal. I love my own space and I hate answering to ANYONE about my wearabouts. I am an excellent cook (though I say it myself) BUT I will not be tied to a stove for any man. So if pot pan stove EVERY night is what he does expect.....woy PROBLEMS! I am a tough cookie so my heart is not easily assesible, he has to work HARD to earn entry LOL. I dont get mad easily but when I do OMG I have a ragging temper and that has in the past caused me some problems. I wont pick up dirty socks or underwear, SLAVE is not my middle name, so any man expecting that will not like me........What else? hmmmmmm I'll be back
LOLOL I love this response .....and the "loving my own space" thing I can relate too, because i have lived with out a man for so long in my house that is one thing that worries me, will I ever be able to stand not having my own space?
I also wanted to add, that I am the same in every relationship, because the being good thing is not for them, its for me. I thrive on doing things for some one else, it makes me happy pure and simple. I have no score card or expectation that they must do equal things back for me. I don't mind picking up after some one and because of this I am sure my sons will be the worst husbands ever because I have spoiled them so, by doing everthing for them.

OMG 1stP, I totally relate to everything you said ~ I'm the exact same way!!
I treat people with respect and expect treatment in kind. If not, we're gonna have a problem.
I guess my suitability in a relationship is best describe as a wrench.
In the right "hands" I am very adjustable to varying conditions and I get the job done with precision. I can't do everything and I am not ideal to all situations, but when utilised in the right way and if well taken care of, I guarantee reliability and dependability for years to come.

In a word....Do you consider yourself as a Good Woman/or Man, ideally suited to fulfill most other people's criteria for a good partner?
To answer that properly, one would have to know what most other people's criteria for a good partner is. I don't think anybody can accurately determine that. I don't know of any empirical studies done that would give a clear indication as to what most people's idea of "ideal" is. Besides, that "ideal" is likely to go through so many changes with the times and fashions too.

And you are absolutely right. Thus "ideal" really relates to each individual persons concept of that idealism; and with taht in mind we respond to the question(s) accordingly.
