50 QUALITIES.... contd

So here are the final 24 on "list". (50-26 = 24... right? ...wait, yall aint suffosed to know i suck at math. lol)

The list is by no means exhaustive (as i was writing, more and more things were popping into my head, i could've easily reached 75, maybe 100) but I said 50, so I'm sticking to my word, and not going to bore yall with more than that. I do feel like i must make the disclaimer that i do NOT live or die by this list. In fact, i didn't really know what it was that attracted me to certain men (i could always elaborate on what repelled me) until I actually had to quantify it.

Wait.

Omg, did i just discover something about myself?? I usually try hard not to do that. Plausible deniability you know. :-)

By the way, listmaking is fun.

Without further ado:

27. Is taller than I am...in my highest heels... PLUS a few inches. I know i said i wasn't going to list any physical attributes, but i had to make an exception with this one. The idea of being married to someone my height or shorter just doesn't work for me. It doesn't take much to be taller than i am (sigh) when i'm in my stocking feet, so i had to make the "in heels" stipulation. No Tom Cruise/Nicole Kidman-ing(katie holmes) over thissaway.

28.Enjoys the sound of silence. (Except when i want to talk, and discuss feelings and stuff. Then he LURVES the sound of my voice. lol)

29. Is liberal with hugs, and isn't wimpy with it. Squeeze me till i can't breathe. Make me feel that isht! :-)

30. Is a good kisser.

31. Kisses for no reason.

32. Listens, and is compassionate.

33. Can deliver a mean shoulder rub.

34. Is handy. There's just something about a man who knows his way around a toolbox. ROWR!

35. Wants kids.

36. Doesn't disparage video games. I find this is an issue more with women than with men but still. I'm a child of the 80s. I discovered blip in a dusty corner of the family room closet and it was over from there. My family didn't get our first video game system (nintendo with the gun AND power pad!) until 1990, but that didn't stop me from getting my electronic fix elsewhere. I remember going to my cousins house, barely saying hello to my aunt and uncle...and heading straight for their apple IIGS. (i LIVED for summer and winter games) So yeah, old habits die hard. I'm grown and have responsibilities now, but i can't front. I still get hype over my games. But don't get it twisted, doesn't mean i can't function in respectable society. lol.

37. Has short fingernails.

38. Doesn't paint his nails. I don't care if it is CLEAR! *gag*

39. Is a man. Piggybacking off of 37... If my dude has more creams and lotions than i do (shoot. even if we have equal amounts) we have a problem. I'm all for keeping a situation moisturized, and wanting to look good, but there is something twisted and evil about a a man who is prone to primping. (see: Sammy Sosa)

40. Cuddles. (yeah, i said it.)

41. Is laid back.

42. But isn't the poster boy for inertia.

43. Likes to dance. I don't need fred astaire, but please be willing to at least do a two step. Nothing worse than going out to dance, but homie refuses to dance! So you're left dancing with your girls, (which, is fun, i won't lie) dancing with the dude with sweaty palms and a wandering eye, or sulking in a corner all night. Not fun. Bonus points if he is willing to take a dance class (or classes) with me.

44. Humble, while knowing his strengths.

45. Lets me put my feet under him when we are sitting on the sofa and watching tv/a movie. (bonus points if my feet are under him AND we are watching gone with the wind.)

46. Loves his mom. As my mother (along with millions of mothers around the world i'm sure) has said: "look how he treats his mother, that's a good indication of how he will treat you." As with anything, there are exceptions: but this is my rule of thumb. If he treats his mother like crap... you won't be far behind.

47. Shares my Dallas Cowboys hate, or if not hate, disdain.

48. Kills bugs without making a big production over how i'm closer to it and in the time i took to go find him to tell him to kill it, i could have been killed it myself and omg lex the spider wasn't even that big! (bonus points if he doesn't try to scare me with the carcass)

49. Laughs at my corny jokes. (this should probably be number one. lol)

50. Finds me just as awesome as i find him.
