Well everyone, even though this is so late I just wanted to write a little bit about what qualities I look for in a guy, future spouse, friend, etc. I really do love valentines, and this paper got me thinking a little about what I'm really looking for. Feel free to comment, or leave links to your responses! Happy-late-Valentines!
Thinking
about it, I really have a long list of qualities that I find attractive in
another person. One of the biggest ones is that I don’t want a plain bob. I love
people with character and a interesting personality, people who you can talk
with and think, “wow, he really gets into the things he likes to do”. I love
when someone gets really excited about one of their passions and really gets
into it. I think of people that have no hobbies, favorites, or any personality
of their own, as flat characters. They try so much to be like everyone else
that in all reality they become one of those characters who is always just
there, but draws no real interest from the readers. So yeah, I look for people
who can stand out in a crowd and be themselves without worrying of other peoples’
opinions.
Another
trait I look for is kindness, and an awareness of others feelings. I love
people who you can be around that won’t snuff you out, or give you a cold
shoulder when their feeling edgy; people who actually care about your feelings
and are naturally kind. It always makes me feel good, and like I want to try
better at helping others when I’m around someone who Is kind to everyone.
Okay, I
know a lot of guys think that being good with kids is sort of a joke. I want to
contradict that full heartedly; I think it is really attractive when a guy knows how to handle children and loves
being with them. It just makes him look so much more mature and grown up when
they love kids and get down to play with them. It shows they can be a good
father, as well as someone who knows what they are doing.
Another requirement
is they have to be smart, or at least concerned with getting a good education.
People in general who get A’s in their classes are pretty darn cool. You also
know that they can study hard, and don’t just sleep in class while the teacher
talks. A smart person can get really far in life, with a good college then
later a good job. In reality, handy guys who know how to do a lot of things are
just plain amazing.
A lot of
you know the manly tall, dark and handsome saying that often comes up whenever
girls are asked what kind of guys they like? Well, I’m on that boat! My friends
will often laugh at me because of my super high physical appearance standards.
While walking down the street they could probably pick out maybe five guys they
just start drooling over, and me? Well, I’d be lucky to approve of even one guy
as I walked all the way to Japan from California. (Just so everyone knows, I think
Jasper Hale (from twilight) is way hotter than Emmett Cullen.) Anyway, moving
on…
I like it
when a person speaks their mind, and if they have something to say to you that
they deliver it kindly and in a way that encourages you to improve rather than
just tearing you down. I hate always having to guess what a person in feeling,
and would rather if they just came out and said it. (I’m very guilty for not
saying how I feel as well, that’s something I could work on.)
Lastly,
and most importantly, the biggest trait I look for in a potential spouse is
that he shares the same religion as me. I want him to have a huge testimony
that can help to strengthen mine, and that I can depend on. I’ve always been so
impressed with how spiritual my dad is, and how in tune with the spirit he
always is. We never miss church, and he rarely lets me miss seminary. I really
want a guy like that, who also is a return missionary. My dream is to be
married, and sealed, in the temple so I want someone worthy who can marry me
there. (For anyone who doesn’t know I’m a member of the church of Jesus Christ
of Latter-day saints.)
