Re: "Weird" qualities you look for in a partner

[forgottenjester]

For me it's less about if he has a sense of humor or not and more about having the same sense of humor. I don't think humor necessarily cancels out respect either. If it does then he doesn't have the same sense of humor as me and it's a no go. Respect is important.

As for a weird quality I look for? Uh... someone who is able to deal with my preferred form of communication which has finishing each other's sentences, massive tangents and hopping around, fake arguments/insults, fake flirting (with everything and everyone), and serious discussions of laughable topics. This also ties into them being able to tell when I'm being serious or not, which I'm told is a difficult thing to do. Anyway, a lot of people either find this kind of conversing off-putting or annoying. So I tone it down for non-friends. I tone it down a lot. But if I was with someone I wouldn't want to have to be different in that way for them.

Re: "Weird" qualities you look for in a partner

I think that kind of conversation is fairly standard (to one extent or another) among nerds. Arguably, it's normative.(1) So I wouldn't worry too much, honestly - for a certain kind of person, that kind of discourse is familiar and, at a certain point, becomes fairly practiced and easy. And on a level above that, there's nothing wrong with wanting someone who communicates the same way you do and laughs at the same shit you do.

Oh. My. Gosh.

...

This is real. I thought you were joking but this is real. I think I love you for actually supporting your argument like that with the note and with something real. Like, you have no idea how much this is making me smile.

*cough* But, uh- moving on. Thank you. Yeah, wanting someone who communicates that same way isn't as weird a request as I thought it was. I guess I'm just surrounded by more people in real life who find that kind of communication weird than not. So I assumed it was a difficult thing to come by. But thank you for clearing that up for me.
