Maybe I'm not on the same page as you are about exactly what a 'Lumberg' is.

To me a 'Lumberg' is the type of person whose personality flaws are so obvious that you can't imagine how anyone could have dated them.
That's probably a better definition of a 'Lumerg'. Though, when I initially created this thread I was not only thinking about a person with really obvious personality flaws....but even a person who is just very obviously, very different from you.

On that note than I think my most recent ex fits your definition.

There were a lot of points we matched on: intellect, personal experiences, physical attraction, etc.

The longer term compatibility issues: introversion/extraversion, conflict resolution, willingness to embrace differences, openness to new ideas, balancing concern for self and the other person in the relationship, plus willingness to debate issues.

I think those are the most important keys to long-term compatibility and what I'll be looking for in the future.
