Top Ten Characteristics

This is random....but in honor of a never ending "perfect man" search, I have decided to talk about the top 10 things on the list.

1. Gots to love him some Jesus.
- I cant be serious about someone who isnt serious about his faith. Im not asking to marry the preacher but we need a solid foundation for which to build this relationship. Plus, he is going to need to be tight with the big man to tolerate my curve balls. Lord knows he will have to bless this man with patience. You hear it all the time, no matter how fiery the relationship starts, that flame will die down and you two are gonna need something a little more solid to rest your relationship on. In the church you learn that you should seek out someone who loves God more than they love you. People so often get into the mindset that relationships are for and about them. WRONG. We as Christians are supposed to be partnered with someone that strengthens our relationship with God. Im not trying to be all holy holy...thats just true. I want a man that encourages my faith and puts God at the center of our relationship. To me, thats how you create an unbreakable duo.

Side note- Love this: "A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him to find her."

2. Height.
All that depth you just thought I had has suddenly become a little more shallow hasnt it? Sorry boutcha. This is just important. I cannot be dating a short man. It messes with my head when Im towering over a guy that is supposed to protect me. That doesnt compute to me. Some ladies dont wear heels because they are tall and it makes them feel insecure to be even taller but I....I am much different. I think I need to be wearing heels at all times because if you arent tall enough when I got my pumps on...you aint tall enough. This girl loves high heels for the same reason I love tall men....confidence booster. Matter of fact, the more I think about it, this analogy could really work. Men are like high heels. The taller the better, the cuter the better, and if they hurt you, they should be discarded immediately. HA! I like that.


3. Humor.
Humor is VERY high up on the list...I'd come closer to dating a short funny man than a tall guy who doesnt have a fall back joke. There is something about a person who can make me laugh... its so refreshing. Luckily its not hard to do. I just think that quick wit is so darn attractive. I dont know how else to explain that.

4. A Love For The Longhorns.
Okay. Love is a strong word. I guess an interest in college football should be good enough. Its not. I am obsessed with football season, namely my Horns. I just cant imagine how miserable someone would be dating/marrying me if they didnt share that interest. That means every Saturday from September to November and then choice days December- January would be flat out miserable. Not to mention the things that go with Longhorn football. Burnt orange and booze. If you dont like those....you really dont want much to do with me. Trust me, its for your own good.

Side note- I'd love to marry an Aggie boy- they seem to be very well rounded gentlemen but the older I get the more I realize how disastrous that would be. Most of the time I think Aggies are so silly. (I have lots of Aggie loves so dont be offended....Im just not marrying any of your red asses)

5. Country Boy Tendancies
Dont get it twisted. Im not a fan of rednecks. I am a fan of boy scouts, Mr. Fix It's and "project" boys. If my car is making a funny noise I need you to look under there and know SOMETHING. "Just take it in and have it looked at, babe" wont work for this one. I need for you to like hunting but not really "get around to it" very often. In other words, you know how and you take the occasional man trip but our house isnt decorated with wild game heads, legs, arms or feet. I might like a zebra rug though. You probably need to like cold products by Miller and a stiff whiskey. Between the two of those you should get along with my father just fine.

6. Family Matters.
You know I want to love your family. I want them to hug me a lot. You know I want you to love my family. I want you to hug them a lot.

7. Attractive.
Im not looking for a 10 by all means....I just wanna think you're cute. I highly doubt I will ever be comfortable with a guy who is smokin hot...because quite frankly (not trying to get down on myself here) Im not smokin hot so thats not really fair. I just want to see my boo across the room and be proud that he's mine. Toss in a few of the other characteristics and I can be completely satisfied.

Side note- Attractive does not mean stylish to me. Attractive means a cute smile, simple hair and maybe a dimple of two if we're getting crazy.

8. A love for lazy.
I dont consider myself lazy at all. However, cozying up, ordering take out and watching a movie every now and then kinda sounds like heaven. Most of the men in my life cant sit still for very long. I appreciate that, but I would love a good snuggle bunny. And I dont wanna feel guilty about sleeping in on the occasional Saturday morning. I dont know if I really mean all that. Just a thought I'd at least like to test drive.

9. JOB.
I need a successful man. Ya dig?

10. Twinkle Toes.
Few things are cuter than man that can swing you and your pals around the dance floor. Its just so charming.
