If you were to seriously see a person as a potential partner, what would your checklist, if any, be?
No kids?
Older kids?
Cool kids?
High income?
Nice house?
Rich parents?
TIITB?
+/- on yeti stickers?
Old man in the picture?
What are your qualifications?

Why on earth would you ever get married again?

Loyal
Kind
Unselfish
Has a job
Healthy
And I have to be attracted to him. Has to be some chemistry. This doesn't have to mean looks.

No. Every person deserves to be judged on their actions towards me.

Only one must have really. He can love me all say long, but if he doesn't love my kids, I have no use for him.

Intelligent, Undergrad degree strongly encouraged, Grad. degree preferred.
Have some interests beyond celebrity bullshite. Be passionate about something. Anything. It doesn't have to be the same things I'm passionate about.
Religion ok, but not fanatical about it, and doesn't try to impose her beliefs on me. I'll return the favor.
Doesn't have to be a competitive athlete, but should take care of herself. Not overweight.
Kids or not, either way is fine, as long as she's not childless and eaten up with regret about it.
That's about it, really. My SO fits those criteria.

Authenticity and education. Their education doesn't have to match up with mine, but they probably need to be a college graduate with a two or four year degree.
Not interested in making more kids. Too old to go through having and raising another family. That said, the lady probably needs to have raised at least one kid, so we both know something about parenting (I don't care how old they are, you never stop being a parent). Some similar life experiences and some commonalities would be nice.
Being divorced, the other party probably needs to have gone through divorce as well - once, no more than twice. I have learned the hard way that dating a widow doesn't work well for me. While divorce and death are both loss situations and have some similar dynamics, they also have some very different dynamics as well. You can't compete against a ghost. I was in a brief relationship with a lady who had lost her husband to cancer. When she talked about "praying to him" about me, I decided it might be time to be moving on.
However, when all is said and done, I'll know it's a good match when I see it, and should I have the good fortune of having that day arrive again, whatever list might go out the window.

I'm not divorced, but I wouldn't marry a girl without a degree, already has kids, or a fatty.

You getting the D baw? First, I check her FB page. That will show me who she really is. She had to work. No debt, credit cards, and her closet can't be full of shite. I'll find out if she is on crazy meds, and pay close attention to her mother. Older kids, but would rather her have none. She would have to be okay with me doing what I do (hunting, fishing, etc).

If my wife left me, under 26 would be first and that would take care of most of your list

If I were 30 or older and meeting chicks, I'd probably try to take the ones with kids to poundtown because they're obviously easy. I wouldn't want to raise some bastard child though.

That I like them, and they like me.

If it truly was the right person, then kids might not be a deal breaker, but here's the handicap (10-scale; higher # = more important)
No kids: 8 (and if an a-hole ex was involved 10++)
High income: 0; (fulfilling occupation and self-sufficient, barring some unforeseen circs or doing something totally charitable with little income: 10)
Nice house: 0
Rich parents?: 0 (in fact would be a red flag)
Old man in the picture? what's this mean? What does in the picture mean? Incest or just close? Odd question. I'll make a better one: Cool parents who'd make great in-laws: 10.

My checklist:
single.. whether that's never been married, divorced, widowed, don't care. Just single
gainfully employed...don't care what he does or how much money he makes, but he has to contribute.
age appropriate...for me 22 is not age appropriate.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/IconLOL.gif)

If I ever got unmarried, I'd be married again in 12-24 months.
She would have to be on the same page with my drives, love my family, like football, love dogs
and like to travel.

If you're dating a divorced female add 20 to 50 lbs of body weight that she'll gain back once she has you locked in.
I don't know why he cheated on me.......day after she leaves him starts tanning loses 74 lbs and buys fake tits. Classic then has the nerve to say she's not a whore
