I used to be a very appearance-oriented person.  But now I look at things
differently.

The first thing I look for (being male) is an intriguing face.  There may be
many many things that interest me, or just one.  It varies from person to
person. 

The next thing I look for is intelligence.  If she starts her first sentence
with 'like', I usually don't go any further.  I also look for an attitude, 
general and on specific subjects.  

The way she dresses can give me a clue as to how she lives and what kind of
person she really is.

The final thing that usually clinches it (provided the other things have
appealed to me) is her breasts.

Reasons for breakup.  Hmmm.  Immaturity.  Dishonesty.  Incompatibility.
Boredom.

I used to view relationships as a game, and I wasn't really looking for a
lifelong partner.  I still am not looking for a lifelong partner, but I take
relationships a little more serious.  An emotion is a terrible thing to waste.
