I'm not a fan of long wish lists when looking for someone to spend your life with. I believe in listing 5 must haves and 5 deal breakers. The rest can be worked out.

Some of my deal breakers.
1. A willing Transparency in all things, I don't believe in Privacy in marriage, if someone rolls that way, they would never be compatible with me. Open communication/ honesty in all things -is huge. I don't expect perfection... but I do expect honesty.
2. A happening sex drive - touchy feely & desirous. A must. This is a JOY.

3. Never needed a Rich man, social status I don't care about...but Responsible with $$, can live within his means... Holding a job, faithful employee, good reputation... A must. I am on the frugal side, I would cause fights with a $$ waster.
4. A workaholic - I am a TIME person, I'd miss him too much... be a lonely desperate housewife.
5. Has to want a Family / Be a Dad. Needed a man with the same dreams..who would have the patience & passion for this lifestyle.
6. Any kind of addiction ... wouldn't be working (games, gambling, beer drinking, drugs, Sports fanatic, etc)
7. Has to love the country & want to live there - I'd feel caged in the city & forever be dreaming of rolling green grass, cows & cornfields out my window.
8. Taken from Mavash - Partying, womanizing, frat boy behavior - Deal breaker -would never date this type.
9. Has to be the sensitive Romantic Type (why I prefer Men tipped Beta)...I'd be annoyed with a man who felt that was stupid or I was hard to please... I don't need flowers, jewelry or opened doors.... but I

a sensitive man who can openly share his feelings & vulnerabilities with me. I would grow frustrated & annoyed with the unemotional/less than affectionate type. A plus if he enjoyed cuddling up to watch movies too ! 
10. Religious fundamentalist of any sort - I need someone I can reason with.
11. Keeps his weight down & cares about his health & physical appearance.
