About This Quiz

You know how people refer to a proverbial "they" when talking in general statements? Like, who are they? Anyway, "they" say that you should find a partner who loves your family, treats you well, would make a good dad, etc. but is that the be-all and end-all? Who is to actually say what type of man is right for every type of person seeking a man? Maybe you don't want kids, so it doesn't matter to you if the man you are with wants kids or not? Maybe what it really comes down to is finding a man who has the same values as you and wants the same things out of life, whatever they may be.

Finding someone to spend time with, especially romantic time, is never easy. But putting so many requirements on it makes it even harder.
