A super hero, Because Super Hero's are awesome... I am not talking just about the type of women that goes to help after a disaster... But full fledged super powers... I would like her to have super strength above all... My arch nemesis is the pickle jar...

She would also be a comedian... This way I would never have to work out to get abs since she makes me laugh constantly....

She would also be a millionaire... This way I can get personally acquainted with my new lazy boy :)

A singer just in case we had children any time they cried at night I would say... YOUR TURN, and when she tried to argue, I would point out the fact my voice cracks when I sing lulabies, thus keeping the children awake... and her voice serenades them...

And REALTOR Just because she would have to be, it kinda comes with the super power trait....

I've never given any thought to something like this. Hmmm...I have no idea. I would want him to do whatever he was truly passionate about and/or made him feel that he was making a contribution to the world in his own way, you know? Then again, he could do the very same thing in his free time, right?

Maybe it would be fun to see what sort of person other people would expect to see us with. :)

P.S. - T Laurich has a point. Being Mrs Batman would be pretty cool.

Julianna's actually one of the few women in the world that can open jars with her bare hands. :D And she knows how to look good doing it too. :D

Same here. I haven't really thought about that and have no idea.

I also think that posting what sort of person others might expect could be a lot of fun.

I will have to do some thinking and then maybe come back and post it.

If he's my ideal mate I don't know if I care about his line of work as much as his character. Meaning, if he is providing for the family (doesn't matter how much, I don't care whether he's "rich" or not) and spending time with us, I'm going to love him whether he's working at a fast food restaurant or as a CEO. I would hope that he likes his job, because if not that would make me feel sad, that he doesn't like his job, and I'd probably encourage him to go after what he really wanted.

BUT, all that probably goes without saying. Didn't mean to serious your thread, zero. ;) So I'll answer what I picture myself with: pastor, teacher, or counselor. That's pretty much what other people have said they picture me with as well. I've not thought about it much, though. As I said in another thread a long time ago, I sort of have this little vision of both of us being in the mission field, but that's more up to God than me. :)

I'm not sure I'd be good yoking myself to a psychologist or psychiatrist. I would be second guessing EVERYTHING that came out of my mouth, and probably every action, too. "What information is she gleaning from this? She's analyzing me right now, I know it..."

Part of me says that my other half should be a teacher, like myself, and even better, a music teacher, like myself. Music educators themselves are unique in the pedagogical realm, and are often misunderstood...and it's for that very reason you see band directors married to other band directors VERY often. The whole, "if you haven't done it, you don't get it, and if you don't get it, you don't get who I am," sort of deal. But then again, the other part of me points out that The Ex was also a band director, and THAT worked out soooooooo awesome. >_< So maybe I should be with someone who ISN'T in music education. I dunno.

In the end, I want my mate to enjoy what she does. I want her to NOT come home feeling miserable because of her job. She should come home feeling accomplished and satisfied. So, I guess it means that she really shouldn't be a stripper or a prostitute. *nods* But in all seriousness, if she was happy and fulfilled being a register biscuit at McDonald's or Walmart, then I'd be fine, I think.

It's funny you mention band teachers being a bit misunderstood, because I feel that way about psychologists. I'm not a psychologist, though my degree was a double major in psychology and sociology. I hear it pretty often once people find out my major: "Oh, so you're analyzing me?" The answer is yes, but 1) not in the cold, rigid way that "analyze" often connotates and 2) I'm only doing what comes to me naturally, and I would be doing it whether I had majored in psychology or not. I like watching people and learning about them; there are so many different varieties and each variety has a variety. People are just really complicated and interesting. :D

Anyway, I don't mean to pick on you Shouryu, my main point is that it's ironic that that would make you uncomfortable, because I think if I was yolked with someone with a psychology background, I feel we'd be able to understand each other better. ;)

When I was younger I always said I wanted an artist like me. After going to art school I can honestly say that I no longer desire artistic guys. First of all, we're so sensitive! Secondly, I annoy myself... why would I want to date somebody that annoys me? And third... Batman.

What career would I want my spouse to have?
Hmmm.
Just putting up with me might be a full time job.
