Ideal Man, Ideal Woman…or Settle for 2nd Best

When I was younger, my Ideal Man was tall, dark ( Tan or Brown skinned) nice body and handsome. He has to be not more than 3 years older, clever, have a good job and financially very stable, the faithful type - someone who can be trusted and love me with all his heart. There was no way I would settle for less than that “perfect” man.

Well, I did get my “ Ideal” man… it lasted for 10 years and I have no regrets

Now that I’m matured and older, lived life…"been there done that" phase , my ideal man is someone very matured, thoughtful, understanding and one who will be there for me for the rest of my life. How he looks and body shape still matter but not that much . I’m a shorty but I do like tall men, at least 5’10”. I still like tan or brown- skinned men, hairy chest but not the mustache.Someone who looks good in any type of clothing and comfortable enough wearing an old T-shirt and tight boxer underpants. Men who always wear ties and Tuxedo rarely appeals to me. Someone who has a regular job or any decent source of income, no debts and not running from authorities, living a simple and healthy life will be perfect for me. . I don’t like rich men nor those who are overly successful and making a lot of money – like those who are making at $ 150,000 +++/yearly… … they never impressed me, they tend to be controlling, high handed and they’re usually the decision-maker, makes me feel they own me and I have no say in anything Am I asking for too much?

In order to find our ideal man, we have to be that ideal woman first. We don’t always get what we want, sometimes we have to settle for second best. When it comes to partners, boyfriends or girlfriends…would you settle for second best ? Will you keep on looking for your ideal man/woman and take the risk that you could end up alone, lonely bitter old man/woman one day ?
