He should be taller than me but not
too tall for me to tip toe and steal a kiss
Not obese but not slim, just a bit
rounded at the edges
Easy on the eyes but not handsome
enough to be the belle of our union
A few features that our children
could inherit proudly but none to contemplate plastic surgery
Clean but not overly obsessed with kitchens
devoid of dirty crockery, can put the toilet seat down
Can and willing to cook but perhaps
only a handful of dishes
Plays a musical instrument,
preferably the piano, singing tenor will be considered a bonus
Sporty, not overly competitive and
would consider an occassional zumba class just to humour me
Financially responsible but wasteful
enough to shower me with spontaneous gift and surprises
Employee or employer, but
hardworking and intelligent
Intelligent but wise enough to know
when to act unintelligent
Considers wealth a tool and not a
destination or goal
A believer, prayerful but able to
carry out non-preaching conversations
Loves his family but understands
that ours comes before his, and of course mine
Enjoys my company, and playtime with
our children more than others
Romantic, understands that his
attention is the best (not only) gift I need
If I were that man, I will want me
to be:
Cute, pretty and lightweight enough to
lift when the occasion demands such
Well proportioned body parts, perhaps
an elasticated waist line,
Expanding to carry our offsprings
and contracting to Cinderella proportions immediately after
Dressed to my liking, slightly suggestive
but not revealing
A home-maker, clean, neat, good cook
or at least able to direct others to give this appearance
Produce beautiful, perfect
offsprings regardless of what contributions I make in sperms
Motherly, nuturing our offsprings
Wifely, capturing my attention in
words and deeds
Friendly, share a joke, a story or a
moan
Successful, ‘funded’ but still appreciates
my efforts at giving
Works, employee or employer, earns
enough to meet some routine demands without asking me
Dedicated to the ‘work’ but ensures
that ‘they’ all know I am her boss
Understands my work enough to
converse but acknowledges my superior knowledge, or pretends to
A reliable support, sharing my
burdens, praying my successes into reality
A good sport, understands the offside
rule, double fault, birdies and pelotons and yellow jerseys
Enjoys the company of her friends
and family but available to me on demand
Perhaps can sing... in tune
