Read this: http://www.livejournal.com/users/karnythia/416490.html -- in which the government informs us, among other things, that no one likes a smart girl.

Seethe.

Take my poll. (Btw, LJ polls drive me crazy, because I want to do a lot of "if, then, skip to" etc., but I can't. So these things aren't just unscientific, but sloppy. But doing it made me feel better. I apologize if I left out the answer you wanted, I try really hard to be inclusive in these things, but live and learn, also, hi, at work and distracted.).

I didn't check Sexual Fulfillment, Physical Attractiveness and Recreational Companionship because I wanted to keep it to 5 checked boxes. But I do think they're important in any relationship. In my humble opinion, honest, open communication is the most important of any others you have listed.

Obviously, gender roles are in the eye of the beholder and each person's needs change from relationship to relationship.

I'm just fascinated to see some of the broad trends that are emerging -- men apparently don't need conversation so much, but they do need their partners to be hot. Us girls, we'll take any old dude as long as he can talk... although I should be surprised. Not attractive smart dudes are a cliched lust object for women (explain House any other way), and the answering cliche for men is the librarian in the porn movie?

*sigh*

I despair for us all.
