SINGAPORE: A new survey has been conducted to find out what attributes men and women look for in their soul mates.

Almost 36 percent of men surveyed said how good a woman looks is their main concern when playing the dating game.

Another third said it depends on the woman's character.

The survey, conducted by dating agency Lunch Actually, found women placing good looks right at the bottom of their lists.

The majority of women said they want someone with sound character and similar beliefs, which may explain why more women join dating agencies than men.

Violet Lim, Founding Director of Lunch Actually, said: "Ladies are very comfortable with what we do. They know we will be pre-screening the people they'll be meeting. They're a bit worried that people may not be genuine or may not turn out to be who they say they are."

Some agencies say women also look out for men who are financially, as well as emotionally, stable.

"They want someone who can commit to the long term. If the relationship actually works out, he's matured enough to handle it," said Ada Wong, Co-Founder of The Dating Loft.

With Valentine's Day just round the corner, Lunch Actually is offering dates with a commercial pilot and a teacher for free – for those looking for a dream partner. - CNA/so
