"What are you looking for in a man?"

After much thought, this is the conclusion I reached.

I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life.

I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need or want a simple-minded man.

I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden.

I need a man who is striving for perfection emotionally, because once I put my heart out there, it is forever, and I need that person to handle with care.

I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded.

I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy.

I am looking for a man who is honest with me. And perhaps more importantly, one who is honest with himself. I don't want or need someone to try to make me believe something, when the reality of it, is something different.

I am looking for someone who can be both my biggest critic and my biggest fan all wrapped into one. What good does it do to only have half the package? I take the good with the bad, and appreciate honesty in all regards.

I am looking for a man who can take care of me. Don't get me wrong... I am not looking for someone to live my life, but rather someone who is there to pick me up if I fall, and maybe even catch me when I trip. I want someone who is there for me, no matter what he thinks of my decisions. I am looking for something unconditional.

But most of all, I am looking for a man who can make me laugh. That is the sure way to my heart. One who can make me smile. And not only put a smile on my face, but in my heart and soul as well.


Perhaps I am asking a lot. But then again, I'm worth a lot.
