Q. What do I look for in a person? What traits are important
to me?
A. A lot of things are important to me. I look for honesty,
dependability and trustworthiness. These things are very
important to me. In addition, I look for a number of other
things. I look for moral cleanness, chastity, decency. A
very important item. And I look for things like
naturalness, conscientiousness, unselfishness,
consideration for other people, modesty, friendliness, a
nice disposition, intelligence, and good judgment and
common sense.
Q. What kind of things in a person will turn me off? What
things do I find repelling?
A. Signs of dishonesty turn me off very quickly. Such as
lying, cheating or deception. So do signs of moral
uncleanness such as vulgar language or humor. And I find
things like presumptuousness, boldness and arrogance
repelling. Selfishness, lack of consideration for others,
boastfulness, argumentativeness, disagreeableness and
artificiality are also disgusting and repelling to me.
