My Personal Dream Boy Checklist

I decided to develop some better standards when it comes to guys, so here we go.

My Personal Dream Boy Checklist

In This Article:

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

DON'T HATE ME, OKAY? Attractiveness is not the most important thing, but I still place a little bit of importance on it.

2. Taller than me

Sticking with the somewhat shallow qualities, I prefer when a guy is taller than me. I just like big, warm hugs. It's comforting.

3. Sense of humor

I like a guy that can make me smile.

4. Physically affectionate

I describe myself as a very "cuddly" person. I LOVE hugs, kisses, and cuddles.

5. Patience

10 Time-Wasters In Your Day That Are Actually 100% Worth It

I'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

I want eyes that I could get lost in.

7. In shape

Someone that works out sometimes, not a huge, steroid-taking bodybuilder.

8. Career/Job that I can relate to

Now, they don't need to have a big, fancy salary or anything. I just want to be able to understand them when they talk about work. I want to be able to relate to them in that way.

9. Same "big issue" stances

We don't need to agree on everything, but we do need to agree on big issue things.

10. Motivated in life

I would go crazy if my significant other just sat around, unmotivated, every day. I need someone that wants something out of life. Someone inspired.

11. Optimistic

I don't want someone that is blindly optimistic, but just someone that can help me see the good in the world.

12. Gentle

6. Be gentle with yourself. Giphy

I suffer from a bit of PTSD, so I need a man that can be gentle with me.

13. Good with kids

I don't feel the need to biologically have children, but I definitely want to adopt/foster children. I need a man that won't be the dad that my father was.

14. Dog lover

48. PuppiesGiphy

This 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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
