What are some flaws that are acceptable in male partners?

The way I think of it is that almost all qualities can become “red flags” or toxic traits if not experienced in moderation. There is nothing wrong with a shy man for example, but there is something wrong when he’s sullen and withdrawn. There is nothing wrong with being indecisive, but there is with being noncommittal.

Another example of the same thing in “positive” traits; I am joyful and it’s easy to make me laugh, but I often fail to read the situation and laugh inappropriately. It’s our responsibility as humans to acknowledge these extremes as flaws and take action to try to fix them. For me, the be all end all is that an HVM will keep himself temperate in his qualities and aware of times when he isn’t. An LVM (or LVW) will have no such inclination towards self-reflection.

Hmmm… most flaws are fine in moderation. I would say an indecisive partner wouldn’t be too bad, as long as he wasn’t indecisive about bigger things such as marriage, work, kids, etc. I personally can’t be with someone talkative but I won’t mind someone who’s shy as long as he’s not too shy to a point where it affects both of our lives.

Forgetful is a huge no for me. I have enough to task manage without making sure his responsibilities are being taken care of as well. That’s just extra mental work to add to my load if he’s forgetful. Forgetful men remind me of my scatterbrained preteen.

Also no clutter because I don’t like it. I hate having “stuff” everywhere. Makes cleaning so much harder.

Exaggeration is big in my culture so I’d be amused by it in story telling for sure. That would be fine with me.

I’m flexible on a lot of other flaws. So much so that I can’t even think of any at the moment.
