I would have to add Understanding (If you expect me to forgive your shortcomings, be prepared to forgive mine-we are afterall, both human); No drama--if I want drama, I'll watch it on television. I expect some drama from a femme (Ok, OK, now don't take offense at that, it's just been my experience is all), but let's sit down and talk like the two adults we claim to be and do it without drama; Loving, compassionate, able to accept all the love and tenderness I want to shower you with; My strength, my heart, my love is yours--take it but handle it with CARE.
OK, so I guess that's a few more than three, but they would be my deal breakers.

I'd like to point out that none of my deal breakers have anything to do with any physical characterstics or flaws. They are all nontangible---the things that really matter in life.

You are welcome Sir, but let me include that in my experience butches seem to have a taste for drama too, sometimes in the best of ways! but also unfortunately at times not. Emotions between two people who love each other can run hot and so there are bound to be times, when passion can run amuk. But this should be anticipated and if there is love, you eventually come together and work out a fair solution. Love is great, it's just not simple!
