Ok. This is admittingly a more experimental thread, so it could go south or north reallllllly quick, but oh well. Protaku is bored.

Basically, I came across this idea from a meme a while back, and greatly expanded on it.
You are given 20$, and from this 20$, you are entrusted to build your ideal partner in life. If you already have a partner/mate, humor yourself and give them your ideal qualities.
From this following list from the "Workshop", you're going to spend these 20$ on qualities you'd like to have in your wife husband partner in life. Obviously, more ideal qualities will cost more, and assume the near worst case scenario if you don't buy a particular quality, so if you deny purchasing the "Pretty Face" quality, your partner will erm, not be that attractive per say, but can be balanced out by giving them a good body at least since it's cheaper.

Whatever, go for it MALers.

**You have 20$ to spend**Choose wisely**
1. Pretty Face -6$
2. No STDs -5$
3. Loyal -5$
4. No Kids -$5
5. Big Ass and Boobs/Abs -$4
6. Honest -$3
7. Intelligent and/or Educated -3$
8. Loves Sex -$3
9. Similar Interests and Tastes-$2
10. Doesn’t Ask For Much -$2
11. Loves Cooking and Good At It -$1
12. Great Fashion Sense -$1
13. Their Family and Friends Adore You -$1
14. Loves Cleaning and Good At It -$1

Assume every positive thing not listed here is already built in, and no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to build a perfect partner. This is representative of reality.
And plz, have mercy MAL.

$20 is not enough to build anyone good, especially if we assume the worst case for anything we don't pick.
I'll leave the room and buy something to eat with the money on my way home.

This made me lol. But I deliberately made you unable to afford the first 4, because in life, you will more than likely never find the ideal partner with the ideal traits, and those 4 would probably be the most desired. (unreversed).
I'll let her have kids from before, provided she doesn't have STDs already, but that's just me. Sometimes, sacrifices have to be made.

In my original version, I gave you 25$ but also threw in a lot more options you'd feel obligated to buy like "Has no mental and physical defects" and "Has no criminal history", but that wouldn't be any fun so I toned it down.

Now it's just up to choose between Has a Pretty Face, is Loyal, No STDs, and No Kids. Most people seem to be choosing 3 of these while sacrificing another which is what I had in mind.

Smh, by being bloody brilliant myself I can make this bitch near perfection herself. The similar interests one covers 8, 14, 12, 11, and 7(as a lot of my interests require quite a freaking lot of intelligence to be interested in) so I'm sorted.

So with that in mind: 1, 2, 3, 9, 10.

I'm glad life doesnt operate this way, If I had to chose a partner based on the 20 doller method I'd be screwed since I dont have any cash.

Alright, let's face it: A pretty Face and at least a non-obesse Figure is something I would consider as a very strong Point to get attracted in the very first Place.
No STDs and being loyal should be essential. I neither want to risk getting sick, nor do I want someone that betrays me.
"Doesn't Ask for Much" aka no Gold Diggers.
The Rest are optional. While "Their Family and Friends Adore You -$1" would be nice as well, in the daily Life, 11.+14. seem like the better Choices. I mean, it's not like I would leave the whole Work to my potential Partner, but it's more reassuring if she would have Qualities in those Fields and I could help her.

I don't need to explain STDs and loyalty. Honesty is important, I wouldn't want a lying partner. Doesn't need to be necessarily 'educated' if by educated you mean having been gone to a university or school, but has to be generally not an idiot. Cooking is a big bonus in any relationship, and doesn't ask for much is just there because low maintenance.

Im not too satisfied with this. The odd money amounts made it so i couldnt just pick what i wanted. Not asking for much isnt so crucial because i could put effort into a relationship but i thought it was better than some of the more housewife sounding things i dont need. STDs could be taken away depending on the type since some are just temporary. Id rather her to not have a kid but couldnt ad that. Also pretty faces alternatiive should be average not an ugly face then i could have taken that away. No fair, i feel like im cutting myself short. :(

Well. . . that's pretty much life lol. Some girls/guys will have qualities the other's don't, and it's up to you to big which you'd prefer to have in your partner.
And I still ended up taking out a lot of options you'd feel obligated to pick like "No Mental/Physical defects " and "No Criminal History", and the ones I left in were more or less left up to personal choice. Though it seems most people don't care if their partner already has several kids lmfao.

First off, I have to be able to wake up next to them and think she is beautiful. If I cannot simply do that, then I will always wish for something else. No STDs please...c'mon...I want us to both live long. I want to be loyal. I've always been a strong advocate for loyalty. I hate having my back being turned on, especially when I expect there to be support between us. I don't want a dumb person. There should be intelligent conversations between us. She should be able to make her own sound and independent decisions apart from mine. I love eating all sorts of food. I'm fine with a decent cook, but if she can cook well then I'll be really happy. I'm also a pretty good cook, so it'd be fun to cook with her. Plus, we should both be able to love food.
