About This Quiz

It is hard to know what one wants. People search their whole lives for what they think they want, but humans are ignorant creatures and rarely do we really know what we want. You could date for half of your life, marry after much deliberation, and still not wind up with the person who is right for you. Just as our tastes change with time, so too do our tastes in the people we are attracted to.

Assuming a man is right for you, what sort of man do you really want? Someone with rock hard abs and huge biceps may sound ideal, but then what kind of man spends that amount of time in the gym? What would that say about his vanity? Do those qualities make him a bad person or a good person? Would those qualities eclipse the ones that would enable the two of you to curl up on the couch together with a pint of Ben & Jerry's? Finding an ideal partner is about give and take.

Our relationship experts have devised a quiz for you. We will suss out your priorities, tastes, and true deal breakers. Armed with this intelligence, we will tell you what your ideal man is like, and abet your happiness. Take the quiz!
