My Ideal Man Checklist - 6 Revised Versions ...

When I was a teenager, I had this stringent list of what my ideal man should be: handsome, well-off, caring, understanding, God-fearing, intelligent - " I could have gone on and on then about what qualities my partner should have. However, as I grew older, I realized that I could never really find a real person who met all these sterling qualities.

Building a my-ideal-man-list is much like this e-mail that I received which made me laugh out loud, it's entitled "My Ideal Man Checklist". At age 22, the checklist goes much like the list that I had above. Another revised list is made at ages 32, 42, 52, 62 and by the age of 72 there are only a couple of items on the list: that the man should be breathing and not miss the toilet. Well, here's the full version for you to enjoy:

Financially Successful

***

He should be financially stable enough to support not only himself but also contribute meaningfully to our shared goals and adventures. It’s not about luxury or lavish lifestyles; rather, it’s about being responsible and secure in our financial foundation. Having a steady income, a budget, and savings for the future demonstrates reliability and maturity. Mutual respect for each other’s financial habits and open communication are key. We don’t need to be wealthy, but we should be smart and conscious about our expenditures. Ultimately, a financially responsible partner is a cornerstone for a steady and fulfilling life together.

Not Too Ugly (bald Head OK)

***

Sure, he may not have a lush mane, but there's something undeniably attractive about a man who owns his baldness with confidence. He carries himself with a certain je ne sais quoi that renders hair an afterthought. His scalp, a smooth canvas, highlights his features and adds a touch of daring to his overall look. In his embrace, you're reminded that true beauty is found in the strength of character and the way he makes you feel—not in the abundance of follicles on one's head.

One important quality that I look for in my ideal man is the ability to remember my name. This may seem like a small detail, but it speaks volumes about a person's level of interest and attentiveness. When a man remembers my name, it shows that he values our interactions and takes the time to make a personal connection. It also indicates that he is a good listener and pays attention to details. In addition, remembering my name can make me feel special and important, which is a crucial aspect of any healthy relationship. Overall, this simple action can make a big impact on how I perceive a potential partner.
