Who I Am
I have a dazzling personality
I am a very balanced person. I have a talent for seeing beyond the details of day-to-day life. I refuse to settle long-term for a boring job or doing something just because it's expected of me. Love is the same way. Despite my natural charm, I can't pretend to care for someone if I'm missing a deep connection. I'm ready and able to experience romance and a powerful "spark" with someone special. My biggest challenge may be finding time to connect given my busy (and often frantic) life.
What's dating all about to me?
Finding a loving relationship is a mission for me. I have clear goals and even a timeline in mind. Falling in love is an especially magical experience. I'm suddenly free from the rules and thinking that guide my life. I usually keep my feelings and life under control. But remember, the bigger the dam, the bigger the flood when it breaks!
I face two major challenges in finding the love of my life. First, because my mind is so busy making sure I say and do the right things on dates, it's hard for my deeper and caring self to come through. It feels risky to share this part of myself but most women need this emotional connection. Second, although having a vision of what I want can be helpful, the risk is that my high standards and rush to find the perfect woman can get in the way of loving a real-life imperfect woman.
Here's how I compare with other men my age
My personality profile is similar to a number of men my age. Looking at over 10,000 men who have taken the test, about 32.1% (or 1 in 3 men) have very similar beliefs, values, and habits. Of course, the way these qualities are expressed in me is what makes me so unique.

Quirks women notice
Like all men, I have my strengths as well as my quirks and shortcomings. Ultimately, I want to find someone who will love and accept me "warts and all." Though I have lots of friends, it's important to have at least one person who understands.
At times I can become so focused on ideas, plans for the future, or a new project that I lose track of the day to day details of life (like doing laundry, balancing my checkbook, or even eating).
Do women like my type?
Notice that 92% of women are generally attracted to my personality type. 56% say they are VERY attracted. With the millions of people on Match.com, that translates into lots of potential matches.

Who I'm Looking For
She'll be an enigma
I'm looking for a woman who can be my soul mate AND playmate in life! She has a wide variety of interests and an insatiable curiosity about life. Though she has both close friends and a broader group of friends to hang out with, she's also very independent. So it may be a little hard to get to know her, especially emotionally. But she's worth the effort! I'll never be bored, since she stays busy with outdoor activities, community involvement, and hobbies and will encourage me to be active too.
I don't expect your partner to be in a good mood all the time. I understand that sometimes my partner will be down, get pessimistic or worry too much. These days are balanced by the many good days the two of us will share. In fact, we share a number of positive qualities, including:
She has her eye on the future and has big goals and dreams for what she wants out of life.
Here's how you compare to your "ideal" partner
Number of women my type
Women with the exact type of personality I prefer are rare gems. Looking at over 10,000 women who have taken this test, only 7% (or 1 in 14 women) have the exact combination of similarities and contrasts in personality I find extremely appealing.
However, there's a larger group, 24% (or 1 in 4 women), who have most, but not all, of the qualities and habits I like. These subgroups are charted below.
Almost three-fourths (70%) of the women have at least some of the traits I find attractive.
But I'd have a negative reaction to 30% (or 1 in 3 women), who have some or many of the characteristics I clearly dislike.
How many women are your "ideal" type?
Opposites sometimes attract
I want to share my life with someone who has the same values, goals, and style I have. Research has shown that couples who have more in common tend to stay together longer. Still, sometimes differences can help create a "spark" and excitement about each other. Part of me wants to be more like her, or at least have her unique style in my life. She could be good for me in many ways:
She can help me play more and work less, given her ability to balance a job with a full and fun life outside of work.
Quirks I can tolerate
The truth is that everyone is potentially "high maintenance." We all have our quirks and shortcomings. The key to long-term harmony is finding a woman who can tolerate (or maybe even enjoy) my "quirks," or the little personal oddities that make me unique. I seem okay with several common quirks that might come along with my "ideal" woman:
1) On days when her mind is clouded by sadness or worries, I'm willing to offer extra support and patience.
2) I won't be too bothered by the fact that she always has multiple projects and hobbies going on, with few ever finished.
3) I can enjoy her enthusiasm for new ideas without taking her plans, which are often unrealistic, too seriously.
Downside of my "ideal"
In addition to her quirks, my "ideal" personality type may have other qualities that are more frustrating or challenging to deal with. Under stress, her quirks can become serious "flaws." But remember, these quirks are the "flip side of the coin," or the extreme end of qualities you otherwise find appealing. So, be prepared if:
1) She will often be running late and forget to do things she said she would do, which can seem really inconsiderate and irresponsible to me at times.
Deal breakers
I seem ready to adapt to the good and frustrating qualities of the women I'm looking for, but there are types of women I clearly do NOT like. Women's habits and attitudes I'd have a hard time putting up with include:
1) Women who have a strong need to make their plans ahead of time and stick to them.
2) Women who lack an imaginative or creative side.
Trade-offs I'll face
Good Qualities vs. Challenging Qualities
Good:
1) Tries to balance spending time with a few close friends and going out with a big group of friends.
2) Comes up with lots of great ideas about how to do things better or improve the world.
3) Tries to balance an objective view of problems with compassion for the people and feelings involved.
4) Not afraid to make tough decisions and move ahead.
Challenging:
1) Given the demands of family, friends, and activities, it's hard to find time alone together.
2) Creative ideas are often impractical or unrealistic.
3) Competing drives from my rational vs. compassionate points of view can stand in the way of making decisions.
4) Jumps too quickly to make decisions, because waiting is so hard to do.
Sex
Fulfilling my sexual fantasies
Good sex is important to me, but it's only one of many passions I can share with my partner. I enjoy the romance and seduction that leads to making love. I also have an innate curiosity that applies to everything, especially keeping sex new and exciting.
Among men my age, my particular combination of sexual drive and interests is similar to about 1 in 10 men (10%).
Is she sexually compatible?
I'm looking for someone who enjoys the quality of sex over quantity. If we share this sexual energy, I don't mind being the one who's more sexually creative or adventuresome.
What's ahead for me sexually?
If I end up with a woman less sexually charged than myself, I'll have two options: open up my partner's "wild," sexual side or settle into a relationship with less sex, but more affection. Having less sex will be challenging for me. Making love offers a rare opportunity to "get out of my head" and stop thinking so much. Focusing on the quality of our sex, rather than quantity, may be one solution. Fortunately, I'm a natural problem solver and won't be too shy about bringing this up to my partner. A good woman will understand the importance of sex for me and be willing to meet me half way.

You are Air!
Flighty and spontaneous, nothing can hold you
down. Your thoughts, emotions, actions are all done with little concern except to experience and move on.

and it can get you into some trouble. Your emotions are also wild, so you're prone to fly off the handle.
Best Match: Water, they're the only ones who can stand your nature and keep you out of trouble;
Spirit, they'll listen and take little offense to your wild emotions.
Worst Match: Fire, nothing like two rams fighting over the same female...
