The qualities are not listed in any order and this is MY checklist. There is nothing wrong with disagreeing with my list. Everyone has their own idealized wishes.
1. Attractiveness

2. Taller than me

3. Sense of humor

4. Physically affectionate

5. Patience
10 Time-Wasters In Your Day That Are Actually 100% Worth ItI'm kind of stupid sometimes, so it is very helpful when a guy is patient with me. I have some issues to work through, so they need to be understanding about that.
6. Nice/pretty eyes

7. In shape

8. Career/Job that I can relate to

9. Same "big issue" stances

10. Motivated in life

11. Optimistic

12. Gentle
6. Be gentle with yourself. GiphyI suffer from a bit of PTSD, so I need a man that can be gentle with me.
13. Good with kids

14. Dog lover
48. PuppiesGiphyThis isn't a requirement, but I have always planned to have dogs in my home.
That concludes my dream boy checklist. Now, if I follow this list, maybe I won't have so many terrible ex boyfriends.
