  2. I found the attractive personality traits in a potential partner to be interesting. Humor is a good personality trait to have because everybody needs to have more fun. Your video was very entertaining. Good job!

  5. Reading these traits and trying to see how much they align with what I wanted in my partner I see the validity in them. Almost exactly what I find most attractive in my partner down to every trait.
