Brains. My partner is someone I met on a MUD (essentially text based RPG) who had a character that my character arched and we constantly schemed against each other - until we started scheming with each other against the world.

What a coincidence. I was just yesterday explaining to a young coworker what a MUD was.
I met my first love in one of those.
When they have some of the same interests as you, but for different reasons. It provides for excellent conversation when you can talk about something you're both passionate about, but because you're passionate for different reasons, you have different perspectives, and it keeps a topic you're very familiar with very interesting.
Emotional intelligence.
An unprovoked smile
~~This is the perfect example of "things physically attractive people can do to strangers without negative consequences."~~
Edit: in retrospect, I think this statement is true for people that are intentionally meeting each other (as long as they don't smile unprovoked too much, attractive or not).
Who hurt you?
My parents, thanks for asking
The ability to sing
Happy/smiling and intelligence
A large vagina
Big baps
My man
Genuine kindness to others without regard to who they are.
Good communication skills, and a positive attitude.
Do you have any proof for that claim?
Yes, and the proof is in my response. One example: They will probably be in my life for years to come. Turns out the good communication comes from a PhD in Psychology, teaching at the university level, well and doubtless some difficulties in childhood. They genuinely love people, and seem to bring out the best in the people around them. I'm not sure what you are actually asking for; your question seems a bit trolly. Did I get to what you were after?
They're funny without being a try-hard
Bonus points: funny and they use their own material and don't rely on regurgitated internet memes or jokes
Kindness
Indeed!
You first
Knowing what they want and not being shy about it. Confidence, intelligence and honesty.
