Ok, so here's something I posted a few weeks ago... Except I've added some more stuff my 'list' and I've checked it twice... ;0) But yeah, someone asked me about what I looked for in a man so I figured I'd repost the edited version of my 'list' of characteristics.... So here is it:
So Sean told me I should make a list… A list of qualities and characteristics I like in a guy… He says I’m either too picky or not picky enough in a lot of cases… I need to find some happy medium… And I agree… He said I shouldn’t try to think of any one person that I’m into otherwise my list would be a bit biased… Also right… I have to hand it to him, he does do good ideas on occasion… And after an all nighter of playing San Andreas, that really impresses me… He was bouncing ideas off me for when Lori comes back from Cali later this week…. He’s got some really good, really romantic ideas… If I didn’t think of him as a brother and he wasn’t engaged…. Yeah… :0) So my list… Its really hard not to think of any particular person… Its like I want to take bits and pieces of different people I know and put em into this one perfect man… Very Frankenstein-like… So lets go shall we…
First and foremost he’s got to have a sense of humor… I’m amused by pretty much anyone and everyone in some way so that’s not too difficult… Someone who’s a bit of a smart ass, like Kevin… But knows when he’s gone too far… One who can be my friend and my man at the same time… Someone who is respectful of me and women in general… A gentleman or a nice guy, if you will… Like Ev or W…. Someone who’ll open doors… Also someone who can be romantic… A girl likes hearts and flowers and all that good jazz… Someone who can give good back rubs would be a bonus… Someone with a passion for music, since it’s a huge part of my life and who I am… A guy who likes to cuddle but isn’t clingy…. Someone honest, sincere, and trustworthy…. Someone who respects my uniqueness… Also unmarried, uninvolved, and not gay are kind of givens…. At least for me… Also someone whose not into drugs, or is an alkie (though alcohol in moderation is okay)… Which brings up the age thing a lil… He also has to be old enough to drink legally… I’m very Mrs. Robinson like here lately so yeah…. Someone who is goal oriented and has ambition in life and is actively pursuing his dreams… Someone who is intelligent, and responsible and not afraid to get down and dirty…. In all ways… ;0) Someone who is successful, ambitious but not a workaholic, has goals in life, financially stable, not living with his parents, not gay or have a girlfriend/wife, keeps in shape, likes kids and animals, gets along with his family, respectful, and sweet. Also I’d like to find a guy not afraid to be the ‘man’ in the relationship but respects the fact I have a life apart from him, I did before I met him and I will continue to. Someone I can trust, respect, and who can communicate well
Physically… I have a weakness for blue eyes, but its not that big a deal… Matthew McConeghey’s body, eyes and dimples would be nice but unlikely… I really like all guys physically… Short, stocky types, tall, skinny ones…. (though I think its nice when a guy is taller than me (and I'm 5'5" so its not hard to do)and not a bodybuilder but not Chris Farley either)Blond, brunette… blue eyes, brown or green…. I like all types of guys.. The preppy ones… The artsy/alterno/musician types…. Surfers and other extreme boys (skaters, etc…) … I do have a weakness for cowboys I have to admit… Lately I’ve had a thing for guys in suits and ties (stuffed shirts as the guys and I used to call em)…. The physical stuff isn’t really as important as all that other stuff, but there has to be some sort of physical attraction…
That’s quite the list… And I tried not to think of any one particular guy but that’s hard…. So yeah with all those requirements, will Ali find Mr. Right? Or better yet, if she does, will she have the nerve to get and hold him? That’s still to come on As Ali’s Life Turns… :0)
So after writing all this I got to thinking... I've started to notice ways I'm changing... In good ways... And I've started thinking about what the old (teenage/21 year old) me would think of the current me... I think she'd consider me somewhat of a fuddy duddy... I rarely go out anymore (that could just be being stuck in Arkansas we'll see in a few weeks how much I go out) and I hardly ever get drunk, and I don't constantly feel the need to be the center of attention... Most times I'm happy just standing on the sidelines now... But I think she'd like me... She'd probably say something like, "I guess your mom and the guys have been a very good influence on us..." Because I'm still silly, have bad ADD, and I'm crazy like she was but I'm more focused and responsible and I feel more and more 'grown up' than I ever did before... I still feel like a kid at heart (I probably always will) but the rest of me has done some very much needed growing up... And I'm continuing to... I need to, I'm 27 years old, I shouldn't be acting like an immature college freshman anymore... I have more adult needs now... Bills, getting a job, maybe getting into a long term relationship that sort of thing.... I used to think that being old enough to drink made me an adult... Nope, its far more than that.... Yeah enough with the introspection.... Time to watch a movie and then think about going to bed.... (another thing the old me would probably scorn -staying home on a friday night) Laters.
