The Perfect Man

Since becoming single the question of what am I looking for in a man is asked repeatedly. Now I know this comes from well meaning friends and family. People looking out for my best interests, just wanting to see me happily ever after. But in all honesty if I gave them my list they would give me that look. The look that says I'm asking too much, that I'll never find that man, that I will die lonely and still holding my breath for that one guy. Well I have decided to share my list finally. Here is the list, no holds barred, no rock unturned.

Handsome, of course. People all want to list something else first, heaven forbid we sound vain or even shallow. But I want a man that makes my knees weak. That his muscles show his strength, his eyes laugh, his face shines in a crowd. His height, he must be 6 feet tall. I love wearing heels and I'm not competing with a man for space.

Second on the list, conversation. Whatever that may entail. Smarts, whether it is book smarts or just enough street smarts to know his surroundings. I want to be able to have someone to talk to. About dreams and goals, about pasts and futures. The weather, sports, arts, movies, books really anything and everything. I want to talk for hours on the porch swing, watching the sun go down and the lightning bugs come out.

Ok moving on. Dreams and goals... I have dreams and goals, I expect him to also. I wouldn't exactly call myself a gold digger however I want to be supported not the other way around. A man that knows where he is going in life and is on his way towards that. I've always fallen for the struggling man. I would love to have a guy that is on the up side of those pursuits. This includes someone who is not lazy or is super dependent.

Someone that appreciates me. I work very very hard. I cook and clean, I can knit and crochet. I work two jobs and take great care of my baby dogs. I am a faithful girlfriend and a great best friend. I want a man that appreciates that I put a huge effort into being the girly half that he needs, and I want him to be that manly partner that I really need. No matter how old fashioned it may sound I want that wonderful combination that the 1950's depicted so very well.

Ok well those are the big ones. Of course I can list the little things. I love trucks, I want my man to drive one. I want to be that little tan cutie in the passengers seat. A house would be great, owned or not. I don't need a man that still depends on his family. Ok a roommate wouldn't be too bad, however I can get loud and would hate for things to get awkward. On that note, if that spark is not there it will not happen. That sexual spark between two people helps mend over many of the previously mentioned requests. Great sex is the glue that holds couples together. Without it if everything else on the list is exactly perfect it will still not work. I need great sex and often... Alright let us get back on track. Of course a love of my puppies. Not a single negative comment would be tolerated. An understanding of my personality, I get I'm moody and irrational.

Now that I have it out in the open it really doesn't seem that irrational. My list, I mean. Probably what any girl would really want. For now I just wish I wasn't sleeping alone. Mr Right may take his sweet time, but I could handle a Mr Right Now or two.
