I Challenge Thee
Okay, so I can't really remember what I was going to challenge dudes to do. I don't know how I forget these things. I'm just awful like that, I guess.
But I'll issue a different and less interesting challenge to dudes (just because they want it soooo bad): I challenge dudes to tell me what they want out of a relationship that DOES NOT involve sex or food.
This is nothing to get pissy about either. I just want some feedback that I can either laugh at or take to heart, however my mood takes me.

companionship,
if she plays hockey video games with you,
or soccer video games,
and also will she wear my hockey sweater?
that's about it.

I'm not looking for a relationship right now; but your challenge intrigued me, so I thought I'd take a stab at answering your question. If I were looking for a relationship, there are three things I would want out of it that are more important than sex, and nearly as important as food. :-)
First, I'd want someone to love. I'd want someone who could fill my heart, occupy my thoughts, and take center stage in my life. I've been in love before; and, even though it didn't work out as I had hoped, I wouldn't trade the experience for all the riches in the world. There's something about being in love that is absolutely wonderful. There's no other experience like it. When I'm not in love, I tend to focus on myself: I put my own needs and desires first, and become petty and selfish. But when I'm in love, I stop obsessing over myself, and put someone else's happiness and well-being ahead of my own. I become a better person when I'm in love. So, that's the first and most important thing that I'd want out of any relationship: someone to love.
Second, I'd want someone who would love me. I'd want to know that there is at least one person in this world who genuinely cares about my happiness and well-being. I'd want someone who is always glad to see me; and who cherishes the times when we're together. And, of course, I'd want someone who would always be there for me -- someone who I could count on to be faithful to me, and to stand by me during the bad times as well as the good times.
Third, I'd want someone to share my life with. There are many wonderful things in this world; but all of them are better when you can share them with someone you love. Whether it's going to a movie, a concert, or a sporting event; having dinner, going to a party, or taking a vacation; or even just sitting on the porch and watching the sunset, or spending a quiet evening curled up on the couch in front of the fireplace -- it's always better when you can share those times with someone you love. And, of course, when times get tough, you need someone by your side who can help you shoulder the burden.
These are the three most important things I'd want out of a relationship, if I were looking for a relationship.
