I honestly don't see why you feel you can't get 'mental stimulation' from someone with a 'boring' job.

Like DTS said, not everyone has the luxury of having some awesome, amazing job that's stimulating and exciting.
The vast majority of us are cubicle-dwellers who try to enjoy our job as best as we can; that fact doesn't make someone incapable of having an intelligent conversation.

I think you are severely limiting yourself with that particular criteria.

I mean, not a whole lot of NASA rocket scientists on Match.com, yaknow?

Things you must have/not have in your S/O.

Here are mine:

1) Non-smoker, non-negotiable.
2) Has an interesting career. Nothing dull/mundane/repetitive that we couldn't talk about at the end of the day.
3) Responsible. Shouldn't be out getting sloshed every night and acting like an 18 y/o who just discovered alcohol.
4) Also likes to have fun. Has an array of interests. Movies, restaurants, skiing, bowling, whatever. Fun things.
5) Attractive to me. Doesn't have to be a 10/10, but is at least cute and well-put together. I'm a sucker for a nice smile and soft brown eyes (though I could date someone with blue eyes!)
6) Likes discussing geeky things - art, politics, current events, science, etc. Is intelligent.
7) Is a sweetheart. Has a big heart, is caring about other people, is generally positive and not complaining, finding flaws in others, trying to bring others down, etc. Cares about other people, offers to help people when they need it, etc. Maybe has a career in something where they directly help others. Also, romantic and caring.
8 ) Not frugal. Tips well, lives within their means. (Tipping poorly = huge turn-off.)

This is all I've got, yet it seems like so much & impossible to find.

There's a reason why you don't have somebody. You don't make a list and try to create the perfect mate. You will be searching forever.
