I am going to unleash my wishful thinking on you today. My list. THE list as my friends call it when we all know that when you meet that man, that dude that makes your palms sweaty, pupils dilate and something twitch between your legs the list goes out the window. In the meantime until he comes my way I am going to dream about this perfect man; this specimen that God took His time to shape and mould.
I’m going to call this list: SINGLE WOMAN'S WISH LIST
1. Honesty
Once you been lied to, girl you can’t date another liar. For me honesty comes very easily because I like to think that I have a reason for my actions therefore I am able to explain myself. How you receive that, well that’s up to you but I am honest-ish. So I would like a man who is the same. Of course people lie, but I am talking about the lies that make you sit there, cross your arms and just think,
“Ah! But why would you like about that?”
The truth will set you free so future husband if you are reading this, this is a make or break!
This might sound silly to most but have you seen the men’s fashion lately? I am not walking down the street with a Kanye West wanna-be dude in a skirt or dress. I don’t care what you metrosexuals call them but they are dresses. I like my men rough and rugged. Don’t be wearing a skirt around me. Also, if I have a fashion conscious man there is no way he will be able to walk with me because I am most comfortable when I am wearing jeans and trainers and they don’t have to be Jordan’s! Imagine getting ready to go out and your man tells you what you’re wearing is last season. Well, my nig- how do you what last season’s collection looks like? Uh-uh. Not around here!
Call it whatever you like; that's a skirt
Is there anything sexier than a kind man? One who will give his coffee to the homeless guy sitting outside Costa or maybe even give away his take away because he knows he can buy another meal. This is one of my weaknesses, a kind act goes a long way. If someone is willing to go out of their way for someone who will do nothing for them; imagine what they will do for you?
4. Optimist/Supportive
Debby downers need not apply! I am cynical as it is so being with someone like me is a plane crash waiting to happen. Of course there are times where its hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel but if neither of you are optimistic then that tunnel will be dark as hell. As much as I am a cynic I try to always be optimistic. I want to see the good in people, things and situations. A pessimist will just be a constant shadow over my dreams and hopes. Bye Felicia!
5. Be taller than me
Is this a want or need? The jury is still out. I love wearing trainers, pumps, boots; any sort of flat comfortable shoe i can stick my foot in but every now and then a girl wants to feel pretty and exercise her calf muscles in 4 inch heels without looking down at her man! I want to wear heels so high but still look up at my boo. There is a sense of comfort and protection when a man is towering over you. If a bullet was going to be shot toward you it would hit him first because you’ll be all the way down there. Awwww!
6. Ambitious
I like dreamers. I like believers even more. I like doers best! A dream is a wish without putting any work in and there is nothing more annoying than a guy who has bigger dreams than I do (trust me, mine are big!) and when you ask him what he’s doing to make those dreams come true he comes out with a string of excuses. You sit on your desk every Monday through to Friday for 35 hours and all you do is dream your life away. You haven’t done the necessary research, you don’t even know how to start and are not making any movements to finding out; you are just wishing upon a star. Being rich is an ambition most people have and there is enough money to go round, what are you doing to get a piece of that pie?
7. Intelligent
A friend once called me a sapiosexual because nothing gets my panties wet quicker than an intelligent man. A man who has presence, who knows what he’s talking about but is not a show off or thinks is above anyone. He is humble but stands his ground. Sign me up!
This might be because I have very low tolerance level for stupidity and bad grammar (yes, I’m a grammar Nazi!) I understand that common sense is not common and I will be the first to admit that I have some blonde moments but man who is more intelligent than I am and challenges me is the sexiest thing since a man with sleeve tattoos and a beard!
8. Funny
Let me clarify that when I say I want someone that is funny I am not expecting Kevin Hart or Chris Rock. I need someone with a sense of humour. Life is too short, laugh dammit! I need someone who will mirror my silly humour, who is not afraid to laugh at themselves; (I am starting to feel like I am filling out an online dating profile) I am going to make fun of you, that’s a fact therefore I need the reassurance that you’re not going to catch feelings and that you can give as much as you can get. When all is said and done and your pee-pee can’t stand up anymore without a blue pill we still need to have laughter between us.
9. Not have kids
This has now become borderline. I actually woke up one morning and didn’t mind baby daddies. It’s the strangest thing! The reason why this made the list is because everyone that knows me knows I’m not the most child friendly person. I will love your child from a distance. There have been a few kids that have been forced on me; my brother, friends’ kids, cousins, I did not have a choice in the matter. If I am going to be with someone who has a child (preferably one not a nursery!) he has to be pretty damn special and amazing I tell ya. My beliefs when it comes to step-parenting are that if I am going to be with a man who has a child I have to love his child like my own and since I am not sure that I am capable of that I would rather not get myself in that situation to begin with. Besides, baby mama drama; I’m not about that life.
10. Attractive
Attraction doesn’t mean that he is going to be on the cover of Men’s Health although looking like that sincerely helps. I want a man that is attractive to me. I do not care if he looks like Mike Tyson or Seal as long as I see Idris Elba when I look at him that’s all that matters. The world does not need to find him attractive, I just need to look at him and feel like jumping his bones because without sexual attraction you can’t get the kitty wet. Without the kitty being wet… well maybe you can make me laugh and then we can forget about knocking boots!
