Put out the fire boys, don't stop, don't stop.....
What does one look for in a man? Should one make a list? Or is that much too........ unromantic. Ideally, I know what kind of man I would love to meet. Unfortunately, as every hour passes, I become more aware that the world is getting further and further from ideal, as the clock hand moves.
Thinking about this for some time now, I seem to have more of an idea what he should not be. But I'm one of those sickening people who believes that one should never seek something and associate it with what it should not be. When looking for something in a world of unknowns, you must know at least vaguely what it is you are seeking out.
So here it goes..
He should be funny. My knickers do not decorate ones floor unless that someone tickles my funny bone first. Amongst other places.
He should be handsome, in a way I think so. If he's too gorgeous then that's just intimidating. I like faces with character, like eyes that light up with a smile.
I like em stocky and scruffy. Not hobo scruffy. Clean scruffy. Oh Gosh and no brief wearing men need applied. Ya either wear boxers or go commando. Briefs are not acceptable underwear attire. They look wrongly like a diaper. And don't even get me started on the doods with the diaper/babying fetish. Wrong Wrong Wrong.
Definitely someone who likes beer. I am not into guys who drink cocktails...... Heineken or bust really. It's not that I have anything against non drinkers it's just that they have something against me! So I get thirsty? I sink a few beers!
Someone who loves music. I never really understood how someone could "dislike" music. In my view, if you have a living, beating heart, life without music is not optional. When I hear my favourite songs, I literally can feel a physical change. Better than any medicine me thinks. As the Great T.S Eliot put it "You are the music, while the music lasts."
A man who shows affection. I am not on about tonguing at a bar or O.T.T P.D.A's (so many abbreviations), I am saying someone who isn't afraid to be tactile when appropriate.
Oh and definitely animal lover. Or else I'm pretty sure that he'd send me packing. 8 cats, 2 dogs. I want another dog but I've been threatened with homelessness by my family if I bring another critter into the house. I'm pretty sure I could survive the outdoor climate anyway, but I'm not risking it. However would I get to bullshit on the innnnnernet?
Finally, the most important quality any person can possess. Whether they be, male, female, single attached.....
Honesty is paramount in my books. I understand that sometimes it's o.k to tell a white lie, or tell your Mom that she can rock a pair of low slung jeans, when she really, really can't and should know better...
Someone who can communicate what they feel and are unafraid to do so.
But no pussy, pretty boy either! Preferably with a nice girthy appendage and a fat wallet. Jeez? I said ideally!
See, bundle of contradictions. But if that bundle I am seeking is packaged in a distinct, handsome stubbly man then I'll sure try and make a claim on him.
If such a thing ever happens. I live in constant, tormenting hope.
Peace out Home Dawgs.
