Ah ok, appreciate your honest response and apologies for my facetious answer
It’s a difficult one as I think it’s a very individual thing so can only speak for myself…………..
It’s like women for me and what I do / don’t find attractive in a woman;
I could marry the woman my mother wanted me to marry. She would be a lovely person, be pretty and a wonderfully supportive home maker. We’d have a couple of kids, a nice house on a modern housing estate with a big telly and three piece sweet form DFS. We’d both have good jobs , the kids go to good schools and we have a great holiday every year at a posh all inclusive resort.
Our sex life would be fine, nothing to complain about and once a month we’d have a ‘date night’ and if I’m lucky she’ll have a few glasses of Prosecco over the usual and she’ll slip on her basque when we get home for an extra bit of spice. She’ll still have a box of tissues* by the bed though (*Copyright Nutty).
Or
I could marry that girl that I bumped into at a gig who was off her tits and dragged me back home that night for a right proper seeing to.
She’d be a strong independent woman, a better job than me and be very high maintenance.
She’d occasionally lead me astray and at other times be needy and like a little girl needing support and comfort. Sometimes we’d row and one of us would storm out the house only to come back later, tail between legs. We'd be open and honest with each other with strong mutual respect in everything that we do yet have your own lives which occasionally didn’t include the other.
There would be no tissues* beside the bed (*Copyright Nutty) and when you shagged the whole bloody house moved. She swallows and loves it.
Now’t wrong with the first option at all but I’ll leave you to guess which I’ve plumped for
I had a GS for 10 years. It was ridden on three continents, took us on great holidays, did loads of green laning and even did the Tesco run. It’s the longest I have ever owned a bike which must say something……..but I NEVER bonded with it and had that emotional attachment. It was a tool, a very, very good one but a tool none the less. In much the same way as a car is to me. There was/is no emotional attachment. I bought it on that basis and was not disappointed but……………………
So in short, character to me is something that is less than perfect yet STILL has the ability to make me want it and love it over and above everything else. Anything that is perfect is no challenge, no fun and ultimately boring. Characterless.
