I have been in a relationship with my partner since September of 1994. We broke up a few times in the early years. The longest period of time was for 6 months. But we always get back together. It isn't perfect. He does not have an affectionate or romantic bone is his body, and I really need affection and romance sometimes. But I'm not perfect either. I get moody and depressed quite a bit. So we just accept each other for who we are. The big secret to a relationship is compromise.
Now to answer each of your questions:
What are you as a gay man looking for in a life partner? A best friend.
What age range? A maximum 8 year age difference. If I was single, I would not date anyone younger than 22 or older than 38.
Are looks more important than what is in the heart? If so, why? There has to be a physical attraction there, but looks are not what keeps a relationship going.
If his heart is more important they why? There is nothing you can ever do to stop age, but love can stay eternally young.
Do you really want a life long partner? If so, why or why not? I have been blessed with a wonderful life partner. People are not meant to be alone. Life needs to be shared with someone you love.

I'm not actually actively looking. I know that my own neuroses, schedule and activities are not exactly conducive to having a partner at this point.
My ideal would be someone close to my age, really, for sharing life experiences. His heart and his mind would have to be engaged and passionate about something, his looks being almost completely unimportant, though I have favored brunettes. I think looks change and fade -- so can a mind, but an engaged mind creates thought and creativity, and humor (one of my most favored traits in anyone). If someone is passionate in their heart about something, it means to me that they are a caring individual and are willing to commit to something.
I don't long for another person to "complete" my life, because my life is pretty complete as it is. I can be contented by myself, reading and writing. I am a writer and it's a farily singular activity; I have, in fact, gone days with no outside human contact at all when I am working feverishly. I adjusted my life to a wonderful man who worked nights, I would do my writing then. However, when I would have deadlines on projects and need to work during the day, he would become jealous of my time. We remain good friends, but the relationship suffered for my art.
I recognize that not just anyone can cope with that and accept that if the right man comes along, he will. If not, so be it.

Yes I'd really like to have a life partner because as you get older and you're single your options get more limited and also because being single all you life sounds really lonely. I guess someone close to my age so from 20yrs-30yrs. Initially looks are more important because uncosciulsy you know if you want someone within the first 20 seconds of seeing them, but after you actually start to get to know them, personality is way more important because looks will fade over time but their personality will be pretty stable across life, so you'd want a nice guy versus and ***. As far as specific traits somone who's attractive to me (I'm not very picky not under 5" in height, not morbidly obsese, and no nipple rings), funny, at least average intelligence, masculine, nice, strong willed but willing to compromise.

Looking for someone to be my better half, someone to talk to about anything and everything, someone to help me in times of need and to help them in time of need. Someone who also shares my interests in all areas.
Looks are not important, one should never judge a book by it's cover. would it be fair if you were judge on something trival?
Yes why bother being in a relationship with someone if you do not want to be with them for the rest of your life.

I'm looking for a bear.
someone to hold me when I'm lonely;
someone to make me laugh when I'm depressed;
someone to need me when they need me;
someone to care and be cared for in return.
Sex isn't importiant, but it's good to have; Having a friend who understands you is better.
