i'll see your awesome and i'll raise you a fantastic...
ta-daa! my perfect guy checklist. this is probably shallow, but in the event that somebody amazing is reading my journal unbeknownst to yours truly, i want him to know where he stands.
while i'm easy to please, i do have preferences...
to be:
- intelligent
- thoughtful
- witty - you'd better be able to make me laugh.
- appreciative
- logical
- fun
- sarcastic (and able to keep up with me)
- mature when the situation calls for it
- southern in hospitality, northern in thought (i am a sucker for chivalry... seriously, if you open my car door, i will like you that much more. also, bring me flowers and pay for dinner. please? thanks.)
- patient
- politically-incorrect (dead baby jokes, racist/sexist/etc. humor, etc)
- well-spoken
- friendly
- kind
- respectful
- selfless
- happy
- strong (if you can flip me over your shoulder and haul me around or pin me while wrasslin', you get points... but at least let me win sometimes)
- open-minded
- good with his hands
- big - ah lahk big boys
- hard-working (callouses are a plus.)
- eager to learn, able to teach
- self-sufficient (notice that says "self"... though if you want to pay for things, i'll let you; i'm special, buy me shit.)
to have:
- mischievous eyes
- a Great sense of humor
- integrity
- a nice smile and pretty teeth
- a casual interest in music (i.e. you at least listen to it and your entire collection isn't of a single genre)
- a willingness/desire to try new things
- class
going the extra mile - if fill in the blank, then i will love you forever:
- you can beat me at scrabble... or at least come close.
- rolling around on the grass playing "Mr. Bear" or coaching a kid's team of some sort sounds like a good time- there isn't anything as sexy to me as a smart guy with a good heart that loves kids.
- you speak spanish
- you enjoy cuddling*
- you play guitar (what? i'm a white girl; dave chappelle was right.)
- you will play in the rain/run through sprinklers with me at midnight.
- you say "yes ma'am/no ma'am, yes sir/no sir" to older generations
- you dance well... or at least try- cotillion, clubbing, whatever.
- you have a dog with whom i can romp/snuggle (and not a fluffy yap-yap rat-dog, either.)
- you kiss like you mean it. every time.*
* this choice is not optional; you must possess this trait or things aren't going to work.
disclaimer - the following need not apply: junkies, liars, sportfuckers, smokers, alcoholics, divas, clingers, former-homosexuals (no offense, but i can't compete with that!), cripplingly-pious religious zealots (again, can't compete...), fashionistas, uber-conservatives, and guys that use the (non)word "u" as opposed to "you". that's just tasteless.
if i could find luke wingo from the prince of tides, i would be the luckiest girl alive.
and, seriously, it's not that in-depth and outlandish a list, is it?
nope. i didn't think so.
