Results: Women prioritize emotion (33.7%), then the level of instruction (4.3%). In men, emotionality is valued in 19.8% of cases, followed by physical attractiveness (11.1%). A good quality of the couple relationship allows reaching high levels of sexual satisfaction in 21.2% (p = 0.000) and is related to a longer duration of the relationship in 24.6% (p = 0.005). Emotionality is important in sexual satisfaction (p 0.015). Conclusions: The ability to express feelings is a priority when choosing a partner, other characters are also valued as: physical attractiveness and level of instruction.
