Wish List (Or what I want in a man)

Wish List (Or what I want in a man) Current mood: calm Category: Writing and Poetry Guess I'll be shallow and start with the physical. Let's see... African American (I hate that term) And basic good looks I'm not into pretty boys He can be any height Except shorter than me Of solid, medium build Meaning not skinny and not fat Muscular definition here and there is good A bulky, gym rat body is not! When it comes to looks I can make a few allowances For what I consider to be minor flaws Particularly if I love a man Personality flaws are another matter altogether! He's got to Got to Got to be liberal and open-minded in his thinking And compassionate and non-judgmental in his heart He MUST be ambitious and well-educated To be well-educated does not always mean That one must have a degree And he's got to believe in God Not Allah or Buddah or Krishna Or anyone else but God He's got to love animals (especially cats) And children And be both a gentleman and a gentle man He must be expressive and affectionate And enjoy spending long days together Simply for the pleasure of each others company He must be playful And love to laugh And not be offended By my sick and often un-"pc" sense of humor I love a man who is musically talented like me Though this is not a requirement He must love his mother! He must be ready to fall in love and settle down He must prove that he is into ME And not just what is between my legs By respecting my boundaries And being willing to get to know me well Before taking things to the next level Because until he looks me in my eyes And tells me he loves me And I know it's the truth... It ain't happening! If this sounds like a tall order by a picky woman It is And I am I enjoy making a man feel thoroughly loved and wanted And I expect the same in return Maybe one day, if God blesses me I will find the man I'm looking for....
