Requirements for a partner
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:
- Be able to understand what I say (most of the time, at least). My English vocabulary sucks enough. I don’t need someone worse.
- Visibly taller than me. But I admit that in my shallow mind I also have this “Ideal Man’s Height” range.
- 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:
- 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.
