Romance
Although you're a sucker for romance, you'll probably cut a guy some
slack even if he doesn't constantly pamper you with gifts and affection.
You crave passion in your relationships, so you want a guy who can (and
will) express his deepest feelings for you through his actions. Someone
like Richard Gere or George Clooney, perhaps? But you know that men
aren't very romantic, so you're willing to lower your standards in this
area if need be. Chances are you're willing to stick around once the
courting period ends, though it's still very important that your guy
occasionally dote upon you. Your realistic-yet-hopeful outlook will
guarantee you a good catch!
Maturity
There's no denying that men are like fine wine — they definitely
get better with age. It's not hard to understand why, when you consider
all the benefits of getting older, which is why you like your guys a
bit older and more mature. Suave and sophisticated, a mature-yet-fun
man — like Regis Philbin or Kelsey Grammer's "Frasier"
character — would be more likely to settle down into a real relationship
and make a lasting commitment. On the other hand, your answers show
that you don't go for stiffs who can't crack a joke. What's the point
if there's no spontaneity, right? It sounds like you go for guys with
experience and a sense of humor that's dry as a fine Chablis, but with
a hint of spice.
Lifestyle
Love doesn't come cheap, but it doesn't have to be all that expensive,
either. It sounds like you're not very concerned about your ideal man's
financial situation. Of course, we all dream of living well, but it's
a mistake to mix your expectations of love with your hopes for a first-class
lifestyle. Based on your answers, it seems like money isn't a real romantic
concern for you. On the airplane of love, you're just as happy traveling
coach as first class. (Two TV guys who live up to your financial expectations
— or lack thereof — are Chandler and Ross from "Friends.")
Being detached from materialist concerns is a healthy, realistic attitude
and should help make you happy. It means that when Mr. Right crosses
your path, you'll be sure to recognize him and not worry about the size
of his wallet.
Looks
No doubt about it — love is blind. You seem to realize that ruling
out potential suitors because they're not drop-dead gorgeous could jeopardize
a perfect love match. Good for you! (I've
dated some pretty studly muffins who had the personality of a bobby
pin.... not worth it. Of course we all have our weaknesses; tall,
muscular, sexy, dark skin n light eyes.... but I'ma dawg so who am I
to get picky about petty things like that?!) Your good nature
and open mind let you look past the surface and see the true person
inside before you judge the chemistry between the two of you. Sure,
you notice a good-looking guy when you see one (who doesn't?!), and
you probably think good looks are a nice bonus. But physical appearance
isn't the number one item on your list of important things to look for
in a man. Jay Leno? Kramer from "Seinfeld"? You'd date 'em
in a second. Not only does this characteristic reflect your sweet nature
and genuine desire to find true love, it also means that you'll be more
apt to find your ideal guy than someone who shuts the door on every
guy who doesn't look like he stepped off a magazine cover. |
