I’m finally taking the time to make this list. Don’t act like you don’t know what it is…it’s the list of the Perfect (for you) Man….because no one is perfect. So here goes…in no particular order.
Christian (Yes, I want my husband to believe in the birth and resurrection of JESUS!)
Must also have a relationship with God ( Christian does not always =relationship.)
African American (or part)
Handsome: no particular complexion, tall, nice hands, nice lips, no particular body type (although I usually go for slim)
GREAT sense of humor (to me) Make me laugh, dammit!
Honest
Employed
Affectionate (because I am not, really)
Patient ( because I’m crazy)
Cultured, but willing to learn new things
Not boastful, but confident
Not insecure
Hardworking
Well-dressed
Passionate
Self-determined
Educated (college education is not a requirement, but willing to learn new things and research craft)
Must be informed on current events (read, watch the news)
Not clingy
Good to his mother and sisters (if he has any)
Good relationship with father or father-figure (is that asking too much?)
Emotionally available
Goal-oriented
HETEROSEXUAL
Music lover
If said man is a father, he should be present in child’s life emotionally, physically and financially.
Must want children
Yeah, that’s the list. There are only four or five deal-breakers. This is not mandatory, by any means.
