But honestly, there shouldn't be any hard-and-fast rules to love. What works for one may not work for another. Understanding your partner is the paramount.

I believe that if he has already made a list of the qualities he is looking for in a person, in my opinion he should express those values to that person. Honestly, it is easy to say what we are looking for in another person, but what we give to that person in return is somethimes more important.

I agree, especially about understanding the partner. I also think that if you love a person, you will be lenient to imperfections and choose your battles - after all, no-one is perfect. And then - what if suddenly another person appears who also ticks the whole checklist ? Or the person who previously qualified starts failing on some points, e.g. health or fitness? I think that in personal relationships emotional connection must prevail...

I agree that I didn’t care for the list. However, in trying to see the positive side, I could see it as a useful tool to reflect on what he values in a partner.
