My Checklist

Jump to Comments

I realize it may be very superficial of me to make a list, but hey at least I admit I have one. Everyone does. Below are the qualities I am attracted to (today, this minute, this second):

1)Looks don’t matter so much to me, as long as he is cute. Over 5′9, and broad shoulders are a must. I appreciate a man who is well groomed also. I don’t like to see scraggly hairs coming out of anyones nose, but at the same time, he can’t be overly concerned with his appearance (metro-sexual)…ok ok so looks matter a little bit.

2) Personality matters the MOST!!!! I am known to bore easily, so I have learned to put much emphasis on this area.
a)He must have diverse interests (taking a cooking class while being in a rock band would be dreamy *sigh*).
b)He must be able to speak about numerous topics with depth (i.e., music, film, constipation, lint, watermelon).
c)He must have extremely liberal views, and an open mind. I hate people that think I’m “weird”, it usually implies that they are sheltered, conservative or care too much about appearances–qualities which make me go “Eeww”.
d)He needs to have a sense of humor, about all of life’s little details. He must be able to play and be silly with me, even in public (think: big dork or goofball). Guys who are not self conscious are sexy.
e)I enjoy well traveled individuals.
f)Bantering with a quick witted man is almost as good as chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Try it. Mmm.
g)I lust for outdoor activities, exploring the city, attending new unusual events. I hate sitting on the couch and watching TV. Owning Tivo or a gigantic plasma TV could be a potential turn-off.
h)He needs to be able to think outside of the box. The cookie cutter mentality screams “ordinary”.
i) Independence is key. Someone who will understand my need for space.
j) I loathe those who do not have the “try anything once” attitude. How can you really know you don’t like something, if you have never tried it?

3) He must be warm and affectionate. Even if my  (insanely extensive) #2 is met, none of those qualities really matter if he is not a kind loving soul. He should be close to his family, andgenuinely care about the people around him (or just me).

4) He must be stable. In every way (i.e., emotionally and financially). Blaming your parents for your issues or depending on them to pay your bills is just plain sad.

5) He should be interested in self evolution. Life is about learning, growing, striving to be better, both externally and INTERNALLY. Ever ran into someone after 5years, and thought to yourself “wow he hasn’t changed at all”? Gross.

Damn I’m picky
