Tagged!

Sanity Starved had me tagged when I was away. Most of you have probably already caught up with this particular on the blogging circuit, but anyways, here goes the deal. Am s'posed to say 8 characteristics I LIKE in a guy. Or rather, what I'd like in my "perfect lover". In turn, I am s'posed to tag 8 bloggers, who will have to talk about their "perfect lover."

Now, since my modus operandi while making any decision has always been "selection by elimination", I think it’d be easier for me to just say what I am sure I don’t want in a guy. Pardonez moi, Sanity. The tagged are free to twist the rules as well ;-)

So! Here goes!

1) God is the most important person to me. If you don’t get that, you don’t get me.

2) Drifting. While you may have caught my fancy in younger and stupider days, I've outgrown you--no "free-spirited" drifter for me please. Please know where you want to be tomorrow and where you want to be ten years from now. Sure if it don’t quite work out that way, I MIGHT nag you, but then that’s just an occupational hazard : )

3) Playing. Of any sort. Mind games. Hard to get games. In case,that ain’t clear, it’s as simple as "I HATE players". I don’t find it exciting anymore. I’ll just slam the door shut in your face. And as for mind games, they leave me weary. So, somewhere down the line, probably in a few months or weeks (exact time frame dependant on emotional investment) I am bound to say enough and leave.

Smooth talkers/charmers also come in this league. Nice, but no thanks. If you’re smooth talking me, chances are you’re smooth talking someone else.

4) “Let’s see” syndrome. Better known as commitment phobia. Don’t gimme that “Le’ts see where it goes” line. It’s either yes or no. If you don’t say yes, I’ll take that as a no and focus my attention elsewhere. I don’t wanna be left dangling, only to fall and realise there were no arms waiting on the other end, just the hard, cold earth.

5) Cool dude. They are just so frigging fake! “Yo dude, what’s up?” I hear you say that and you are OUT!

6) Abusive Language/rudeness. I simply CANNOT stick men who use abusive language and/or are rude. Please grow up enough to make your point without calling people demeaning names or making humiliating accusations. Note: An occasional outburst while driving is permissible, but that’s as far as it goes.

7) Lying. I don’t care what the lie is about. But once I find out that you lied, I’d really think of it as the beginning of the end.

8) Porn. Yes, I know that most guys will come at me with the line that watching porn is a guy thing and that all guys do it. But then, I might have gone in for all guys. Since you are not all guys and just MY guy, I’d rather that you didn’t fantasise over some photoshopped chick. I expect higher levels of intelligence than that.

I could go on and on, only I have a strange feeling, I just might eliminate the entire male species, so this is where I stop. Thank you!
