Transferring notes from FB

May 13, 2009 - The Perfect Potential (not to be taken SO seriously haha)

I wrote a previous note stating that I want to find a guy that can make me think, "Man I am so lucky to have him!". Maybe i'm wrong, but at this age those guys are few and far between...but i'm sure that close to none have thought the same thing about me so I can't complain. That's precisely why i'm writing this note, because i'm sure a lot of us single folk (AND taken ones) could use a lot of help in this department. We all have the potential, hence the title of this note.

Feel free to post your two cents cuz i'm not posting EVERYTHING here, i'm just putting in the first ones that come to mind

The Perfect Potential Man:
- confidence without being cocky (cockiness is the biggest turn-off for me, do i get an amen from any other girls? haha)
- respectful: ie. when he drops the girl off at home he waits for her to get INSIDE the house, holds the door open, greets parents, family, or friends always, doesn't talk on the phone or text during dates or what not, etc.
- well rounded with many interests and a broad and open mind
- the kind of guy you can leave alone with your family and friends, without having to worry about what he'll say or what he'll do lol...because he's got it under control
- a guy that can take care of a girl, and not view that as being whipped haha
- good sense of humour
- can serenade you or at least try...this is toooooo cute
- "in touch" with his feminine side and his feelings, without losing his masculinity haha
- balances work and play, and balances seriousness with a laid back personality
- i LOVE LOVE LOVE when guys give up their seat on the subway for elderly people or moms with their kids...i take this as not only observant but mindful of a guy...sadly most of the time, I find myself giving up my seat more often than other guys on the train...

Although I'm optimistic, I'm still pretty jaded about guys...they talk a lot of bull...haha
1) Guys are like shopping for Jordans or a Louis bag on ebay...if it seems too good to be true then it's probably fake. haha
2) I will only consider you legit when your actions match your words.

#1 turn off for girls__________?

The Perfect Potential Woman: (or what I think at least, so guys help me out!)
- can be classy without even trying
- holds her own (I believe that guys enjoy spoiling and taking care of his girlfriend, ONLY if he knows that she can do it all on her own as well)
- can be independent yet not closed off
- can cook, or at least try (this does not include popping pizza pops in the microwave lol)
- drives standard (this seems cool for some reason, haha)
- can be laid back (*insert lyrics...sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no make-up on haha) and comfortable in whatever she's wearing, weather it's girly girl clothes or more boyish clothing
- no fakeness, girls are the masters of this SKILL haha
- basically the kind of girl you take home to mom, but has much more depth and "coolness" to her haha
- girls who can be "motherly" at the right time...ie. the "burnt toast" idea...i'm the type that will make myself uncomfortable to ensure that my friends or others are more comfortable...so that if 1 piece of toast out of 10 pieces are burnt, i'll take the burnt one so that others won't have to

Let's face it, us girls overanalyze anything and everything. If there's a topic to be discussed, we will blab on forever, no breaks needed. But girls rule the world, hands down. haha

#1 turn off for guys __________?

*I think the most important point, for both guys and girls, is that they don't make it KNOWN or don't SAY that they have these qualities but just live them. It should just be a part of who you are, rather than being...*opens door for girl, "hey look, i'm opening the door, aren't i being a gentleman?" haha...you get my drift
