Which is more important? I can't decide.

I would quite like to think I was kind enough for it to be a major reason why a partner valued me.

However kind somebody is, if you don’t find them attractive they aren’t the partner for you. I haven’t changed my mind since I was younger on that, and I’d be mortified if I found somebody was with me only because I was kind.

Mine was kind enough to donate his bone marrow to a stranger in another country. Now that's kindness.

Kindness for me too.

I always check how kind a man is to animals.
That is a huge deal to me.

Kindness for me. I have a kind one. Sexiness goes out of the window eventually.

Happy anniversary for tomorrow kitty. Same year as us.

Kindness made him doubly sexy.

My daughter and I discussed it.
She asked me to marry my very kind ex once she had died, so she would know I'd be looked after. smile

I think, obviously, there has to be some kind of 'sexiness' there in the first place to spark an attraction between the two of you, but while that may fade over time, kindness lasts.

I think def kindness now but I was pretty shallow when I was younger...

When DH and I got married (53 years ago tomorrow) we were definitely 'in lust' but I also knew he was kind and thoughtful and that is what keeps us together.

Both would be good but if I had a partner now kindness would be the priority.

I am wondering, at the age you are now, and as a young person, which is more important in your partner?

Kindness.
Or,
Sexiness. smile

That's it, really, apart from wondering if your views have changed, at all?
