Man of My Dreams

Jun 08, 2005 21:55

I've been thinking a lot lately about men and what I expect from them and it made me realize that there is a guy in my head that is my perfect man. The knight in shining armor who makes me happy. Anyways, I thought it would be interesting to talk about him and then hopefully hear back from people about their ideal person and perhaps some reasons why they came to this conclusion.

My man is tall (as in probably around 6 feet tall) with a swimmer like build. Fit and at least slightly muscular if not with a absolutely perfect body. He is a white male slightly tanned with short to mid length light brown hair and green or grey eyes. Obviously, he's hot because if the man in your dreams isn't super hot then what's the point in dreaming about him This man is successful and probably a business professional or in some sort of profession that would make him wear suits or other business attire. If he doesn't wear the business attire, he is defintely preppy and very metrosexual. He doesn't have to be super rich or anything, but he should be financially stable. Personality wise, this guy is smart, mature, and funny. He has to be able to make me laugh. That is hugely important to me. Obviously, he needs to be a nice guy who genuinely cares about his friends and others that are around him. He should be respectful and well spoken.

Now I don't expect all of these things from a real guy because I'm not perfect myself. It's just that I thought I didn't have a type or a kind of guy that I was attracted to until I realized that when I read romance stories or even just a normal story that involve men and women I pictured this guy as the male character that I liked the most. In reality, I realize that I don't need to date nor have I dated the classicly "hot" guy. Beauty is definitly in the beholder and I've met many guys that I didn't find attractive at first, but once I got to know them I reassessed their attractiveness. In reality, the only things that I absolutely require from a guy is that he's honest, caring (of me and others), and funny (now he doesn't need to be a stand up comedian or anything, but I do like to talk and we should be able to talk and laughing always makes the day better so if we can laugh together that's awesome). Other than that I tend to look for guys that I feel comfortable with and who I can be myself with without being judged. I don't particularly want the guy I date to change his personality for me so he needs to be comfortable with me as well. Yes, it takes time for two people to become completely comfortable with each other, which makes me think that I'll probably know the guy I end up marrying for quite some time before I actually date him and eventually marry him.
