I don't have a type. I just don't like fat. And I don't like obnoxious or stupid.
I would probably be have murder charges against me after a date with Mika Brzezinski, The Housewives of _____ or the woman on The View.

LOL, very true; once you pass the horny teenager/young adult stage, you realize that the most attractive quality in a woman is intelligence. I definitely don't care for those who are only pretty with their mouths shut. And then, dumb is bad, but nagging and obnoxious is also horrible.
My wife is a calm person who doesn't talk much (but when she does, what she says is intelligent). She is not anxious, not clingy, and is very self-confident and self-sufficient. If I'm in a bad mood or something and want to be left alone, that's what she'll do: she'll leave me alone. She is the opposite of obnoxious. But if instead I want some support and want to discuss something with her, she is immediately all attentive and available.
You've noticed that I am more anxious and more catastrophic... my wife is never impressed with anything. She says about COVID-19, "I can only control what I *can* control. I take precautions but I don't allow the whole thing to worry me too much."
We spend months without fighting. When we do fight, she is usually the one who says, "wait, stop, what are we doing?? We're not being rational. Let's calm down and think about this from a different perspective. What exactly are you trying to tell me, and what do you need? Let me know what you're thinking, calmly, and I'll listen."
I think my wife is a better person than I am, and more mature than I am (I can be a goofy grown kid sometimes). Because my two kids benefited so much from her guidance since they were born (and frankly my own mother wasn't as great a person as my wife is), I think they are both more mature than I am too, LOL, despite the age difference...
Sometimes my wife used to say (while our two kids were still home), jokingly, "well, I have three kids at home. The least mature one is the oldest." That would be me. LOL
Still, lucky me, that gorgeous woman seems to love me... sometimes I think I barely deserve her... but I do have some qualities that she appreciates and respects. One of the biggest, while she is calm and reserved, I'm bubbly and gregarious... so she says I bring a lot of fun to her life, the kind of fun she wouldn't have without me. I'm usually saying "let's go to this restaurant! Let's travel to this place" and she goes "Hmm... let's not." But then she ends up accepting my plan, we go, and she wildly enjoys it, and says "thanks for having convinced me."
