The other day I was going through some old journals and came across the list I had created 20 years ago in the search to find my soul mate. This was my pre-husband list and it is very detailed. I was shocked at how different it is compared to my list of requirements today. I thought some of you might get a kick out of the differences in my two lists sans 20 years apart.
1990 The Perfect Man:
1. Makes me smile
2. Sticks up for me, but still respects my independence
3. Lets me take charge of the remote control
4. Not afraid of PDA

6. Dances with me even if he feels like a dork
7. Stares at me with loving eyes
8. Calls me for no reason
9. Loves me for me
10. Loves his family and is close with them

I seriously Laughed Out Loud when I read this!
ReplyDeleteOnly one thing (in my humble opinion) missing from either list - Loves Jesus more than Me...
ReplyDeleteI've found a man who loves God more than he loves anyone else - including me...is pretty much gonna have the rest of that going on for him and then some.
Oh...and a nice backside isn't a bad suggestion either.
:-)
Love it gal!
Wow, great post! You're a funny chica!
ReplyDeleteCompletely laughed out loud!! I had a list when I was in high school about my perfect man. Now, I'm going to have to try and find it and compare it to my husband. I'm sure they won't match at all.
ReplyDeletebwah hahahaha!! Good to see you've kept your standards high! ;-)
ReplyDeleteROFL!!!!!!! I'm reading thru your 1999 list thinking, "Well, wait...all of this must surely still apply! She's just that kind of girl!" Don't give up on your younger you list. It'll all come together. Just keep looking!!
