A lot of people nowadays are being told "you're too picky, you're never going to meet someone if you don't lower your standards." I do tend to agree. A lot of us are extremely picky so it's no surprise when they idea pops up. I know that I can be extremely picky and I can think of at least one case where things very well could have been different had I not turned away that fateful night. I say that as he is now engaged and we still get along great whenever we see each other... sigh....
BUT instead of wallowing in that sad little story I have decided to make me perfect man. My ideal, fantasy, dream in the sky and never going to happen man.
Physical:
- Not too tall, on the shorter side in fact. I'd say 5'7" - 5'8"
- Light coloured eyes. Blue would work. A super cool, almost see through lighter shade would be very nice.
- On the stockier side. Not heavy or 'fat' but thick. No skinny chicken legs or arms please.
- Stronger face. Not baby faces. Thinking back I think a lot of my faves had had larger noses. Not that I'm looking for a large nose but it would probably work.
- No "G" clothing. Good chance I would be offering advice over what to wear so clothes aren't that big of a deal as long as it's not "G". That's a hard habit for people to break.
The Rest - kinda a mish mash of likes/dislikes/must haves
- Sweet but not sucky.
- Watch & play Jeopardy with me and sometimes let me win.
- Watches bad horror movies that are trying to be good with me.
- Eats sushi
- Will go to the theatre (plays/performances)
- Is a good camper
- Eats meat
- Is geekier than me and turns me on to new geek things
- Has or is planning on tattoos
- Humour sounds cliche but is an absolute must. A dry sense of humour would be good
- An accent. British, Irish, Scottish, Aussie, South African, or Kiwi would do.
- Self aware. To err is human. And I find that a certain level of self awareness is required to really be able to laugh at your self. Which is another cliche I know.
- A foodie. Doesn't have to be a good cook, I can take care of most of that. But must be able to cook and definitely enjoy food.
- Adventurous. In many forms. Music, food, movies, books, concepts, ideas, people, places...
- Likes pets. And definitely cats.
- Not a full bar star. Hanging out can be much more fun and there are better things to do and to spend your money on than going out and getting trashed.
- Live music. If he can play an instrument even better!
- The job doesn't matter but would be nice to be making more or at least on par with me.
- Knows exactly what to do when my mood swings... and then immediately swings back.
- Doesn't care when I pass judgment on strangers I pass, and chimes in with an imitation.
- Knows how to operate basic household tools. Can drill a hole and hang his own shelf.
- Morning nookie
- Drinks beer. At least most of the times. I don't enjoy hard liquor and it just makes things easier.
- Eats Asian food. Especially dim sum.
- Can do laundry. And remembers which clothes can't go in the dryer or asks first.
- If he won't clean the toilet at least do the bathtub/shower.
- Watches bad TV with me and will yell at it with perfect timing.
- Doesn't have a "crew" of guys where it's always "boys night out". Go out with the boys for sure but do it because it's a good group of friends. Not the "gotta get away from the ball and chain" idea. I don't do girls nights.
- Buys "just because" flowers.
So there's a sampling of the things I am looking for. Shouldn't be too hard right?
