Requirements for a partner

Categorised as Romance & tagged with guys, relationships.

Other than all those com­pat­ib­il­ity issues, natural attrac­tion etc. which you can’t really just say “I want someone smart/humourous/romantic”, I’ve always had three require­ments (since 2007) which I stick in the back of my head when looking for a man:

1. Be able to under­stand what I say (most of the time, at least). My English vocab­u­lary sucks enough. I don’t need someone worse.
2. Visibly taller than me. But I admit that in my shallow mind I also have this “Ideal Man’s Height” range.
3. Be able to carry me with ease. For sexy/romantic reasons and health/safety considerations.

However, tonight I’ve made the grave decision to add in a fourth requirement:

1. Have the courage and determ­in­a­tion to exterm­in­ate all bugs and other yucky things standing in my way that cause me to scream my head off.

Because a few minutes ago, a big ugly spider appeared within my sight and I imme­di­ately resorted to screaming mad. My dad ran up, I pointed to the spider, he gave me a big look and killed it. Now if I’m with a guy who’s just as afraid of these yucky things as I am, we’d both be screaming our heads off. And if worse comes to worst, he’d be screaming louder than me. After all, in most cases, a man acts as a pro­tect­ive figure for the woman.
