The Kind of Guy She Wants
What kind of guy do women really want? It’s been a hot topic for as longer than I can remember and incredibly annoying. Who cares! The question implies that we can and should change from who we are to someone we’re not, just to have regular sex. It doesn’t work that way, and I was very happy when I read what Carol wants in a guy. She confirms the three most important things a guy should have; self confidence, a life and humor.
I don’t want a he-man or a new-man or a macho-macho-man or a soft-man or anyone who can be canned and classified and conformed. I just want someone who is self-aware enough to know when to talk, and when it’s time to shut up. I want a sense of humor that isn’t permanently on, but is wickedly funny when it is. I want someone who can put up shelves (or at least is willing to try) but doesn’t wear a toolbelt and strut around as if he’s got cojones the size of melons. I want someone who has the self-knowledge and lack of ego to accept that I might actually be better at putting up shelves than them. I want a person who can talk with equal intelligence about politics and poetry, make a wicked sea breeze (or a fantastic cuba-libre) and whip up a roux from scratch (but also understand the nutritional benefits of a smash-and-ketchup sandwich as cure for a serious hangover). Someone who will sing in the shower (badly but with passion), be comfortable in their skin, accept that I am who I am BECAUSE and not IN SPITE of my life, and who will play with my hair and tell me when I’m being too sarky. I want someone who will amaze me, surprise me, re-a-ssu-re me, educate me, CHALLENGE me - and themselves - constantly. Someone who does not have to cling like a limpet. Someone who doesn’t need to prove themselves. Someone who likes the smell of pesto. Someone who can happily kiss for hours, or have a quickie in the bathroom before work. Who isn’t surgically attached to me, or the TV, or their possessions, family, stinky trainers, playstation or anything else. Who respects my friendships, complicated and otherwise, and doesn’t need to be included in everything. Someone who is content to sometimes just be, not do, together. Someone who just gets me.
Did you read all of it? Read it again. This is important stuff.
I would sum it up this way:
1. Be yourself and proud of it.
2. Do the things you care about without making excuses for it or seeking others approval.
3. Don’t take yourself too seriously, and tease her too.
4. Be interested in her and spend time with her.
