(Im not great when it comes to coming up with titles : / Am not real happy with this one either : p)

So this kinda seems like something that would have been done many times before, and I actually looked to make sure a thread like this didnt already exist. I only went back like ten pages into the history of this section though : p So hopefully that was enough. (If this thread already exist dont publicly shame me plz)

Anywho, I wanna start this off by stating this thread is completely just for fun, and not something to be taken seriously. This is absolutely not to "vent" your own issues with another group of people or anything like that. So no posting about how everyone of one gender or another is bad or theres no hope for you or whatever : p This is meant to be playful and fun, and completely not to be taken seriously or used to post rude comments : p


I actually wanted to make this thread like a month ago, and I even kinda had a list ready in my head. I have forgotten it entirely though : p Well.... I dont consider myself to be a "traditional" kinda person. Of course Im not talking about when it comes to doing right or wrong. More like with certain trends and lifestyles that people follow. Like, being male, I dont really feel the need to act "manly", as in pretending to hate colorful things or have opinions on how the house is decorated or wanting to participate in things like decorating for the holidays ect : p Im all about all those things. So one thing I hope is to find a girl who understands that and approves of it : p

I also enjoy being talkative and silly and dont agree with things like males having to be silent and calculating and junk, and I totally talk about my feelings with people Im close to and junk. So being with a girl who feels that way too is definitely something Id hope for : p I also have a thing for bracelets, I like wearing them and junk. I also like collecting pins that I attach to my over the shoulder back pack I carry on me to work and such. So shed have to like those things, too : p

Finding a girl who loves music would be cool. But I am really picky with music, so sharing the same preferences with music would be good : p I generally dont like flashy music with over the top singers acting as if everything is a huge emotionally intense issue that they need to yell it from the rooftops : p I am much more into calm gentle and flowing music with rich instrumentals and harmonies and junk. So being with a girl who shares the opinion that well thought out, flowing melodies are whats important in music would be cool : p
That being said, I actually wouldnt like to be with a girl who likes every musician and group I do. I think that would be boring, Id both like to learn about new music through her as well as share my favorite music with her for the first time, too.

And a girl who can play music in someway would be way awesome. she wouldnt have to be really amazing at playing or whatever, just having the capability to do so, so that we could do that together, would be way awesome. It is something I really enjoy doing and would like to do together. Maybe we could even play open mics together, or small concerts or whatever.

I wanna be celibate, so being with someone who also believes that, when possible, that this is the best path would make me feel alot more comfortable.

A girl who is completely comfortable being silly and not all intense and serious is awesome : p There are definitely times to be that way, but there are times we could be carefree too. Like, someone who could watch a cartoon together or make silly jokes and laugh when I do too, thats always a huge plus.
Of course, at the same time, I actually do like talking about serious things, so being with someone who can both do that, and not take offense when we disagree on something, would be great too : p

I love people who can draw, and have always wished that I could draw too. So being with someone who could draw would be way awesome : p Maybe she could make a portrait of my favorite fictional character or something as gift for me or whatever one day : p

Im like.... a very affectionate person. So being with a girl who like constantly needs her personal space wouldnt be any good : p Im very into like holding hands and stuff like that, so shed have to feel that way too : p

I like making things into events, and making things to be excited for. Like..... I used to be a fan of pro wrestling as a child, I havent watched it in years and years but sometimes I think about like getting back into it just to have something to look forward to every week. Like, we could make Mondays pizza and wrestling night or whatever. I mean it wouldnt even have to be wrestling, its just an idea : p But being with a girl who likes making things into events too would be really fun. (Also I love those people who like go to church together every sunday, and afterwards meet up and like make a big lunch together and hang out together for the day. Ive always wished I knew people like that, so that would be way cool too)

Also, a girl who isnt afraid to call me out when Im being dumb : p Like sometimes, sadly, I deal with grumpiness. Especially if Im having a hard time at work or whatever. Of course I dont want to be that way with people. So being with someone who both can calmly, without trying to shame me over it, and without always taking it personally, can tell me playfully to stop being such a grump, would be way cool : p Its better to feel like were a team, and work it out together like a team, than it is to act like were disputing enemies, always trying to one up each other. I actually have a fear of that, and wanna make sure that never happens : p

Well Ive already posted too much now : p Im gonna stop now, and let others post : p What are some things you like to dream about when you think about finding that special someone?
 
Pheww. I'm glad this thread is a fun one..

Dreams can turn into nightmares. Be careful what the expectations are. Pray.

But I will say when my hub and I were dating, I'm so thankful that we laughed all the time. He could make anything fun. Still can. We laugh at everything. Cant even take us to a funeral.
 
and doesn't want pet cats

Ah, you just reminded me of an important one.

Unlike BruceWayne, she very much would have to like cats : p And most other animals too. (Im very much an animal person : p I have a cat and a guinea pig)
 
I have no idea. LOL I do know spontaneous is out of the question. I am a very calculated person. I do NOT like surprises. Last minute changes in the plans are unacceptable. Stick to the plan. No last minute decisions. Spontaneous is reckless. IMO....

Oh, and no pets!!!

Thats why I used the words hope and dream : p Of course no matter who you end up with, they wont be perfect : p And I wouldnt hold them to my own hopes just as much as I would hope they wouldnt : p I will be as equally imperfect as my future partner will be Im sure.

Yeah. I get that. So I give him a whole 30mins notice on the plans now.

I used to hold him to it. But the hour long foot rubs gave his hands cramps so I eased up and cut it to 14 1/2mins.
 
Well for a brutally honest answer (maybe this should have gone in the insecurities thread):

The he would like (and be attracted to) my logical problem solving nature that's not prone to emotional displays. Or as my Dad says, that I think like a guy. But he's not going to use my ability and responsibility as an excuse to slack off.

That he would value purity and obedience to God and that the fact that I'm completely romantically inexperienced would result in his valuing me more and he wouldn't get impatient or annoyed with me for being uncertain.

That he would know the secret of helping me extend grace to myself without feeling like I'm compromising godly standards.

The he would teach me his skills and I could teach him mine and we would celebrate each other's successes and learning new skills.
 
Okay, maybe I'm starting to lose hope lol but when it comes to men, hmmm, I only really have a few. Honesty is the best policy lol. I think guys who know how to express their feelings and thoughts are great. Well, above all, I want someone who's spiritually mature and secure in Christ. The rest of my preferences, aren't must-haves, really, but bonus points:

Taller than me; disciplined; hates procrastinating; achiever but not critical; goal oriented; loves animals; practical; rational; emotional lol; doesn't necessarily have to love kids; reader; musician, preferably a classical pianist; if not into music, then sports (preferably football :p); responsible and yeah. I think that's all. Oh a movie junkie too!
 
It's too late for me now as my Miss_Ideal never showed up. But in the past I was hoping for someone who was like minded as me, who believed that relationships were partnerships in which we share alike, who loved all arts forms, beauty, Nature, sports, and strove for justice in this often cruel world.

Just as an example (perhaps a silly one) whenever I use the laundry room in the ghetto building that I live in, I try to clean it up so that it is in better shape than before entering and using it. A like minded person would agree that, yes, wherever you go, always leave the place in better shape than before you entered it. No need to preach about it, just set a good example and others will surely follow so that the world will be a better place for all.

Alas, such an Ideal Lady never entered my life.
 
As young christan male here is my idea of a my ideal wife.
#1- she should have Jesus's Christ as her Lord and saviour. She cannot submit to me as a man unless she has submitted ( heart, body,soul and mind) already to Christ.

#2- she should be willing and focused on being a help mate. She should want to help and work along with me in persuit of the vission and mission God had given me.

#3- she should have her heart set on the things of The kingdom of God. Should be focused not on amassing worldly and material things but passionate about contributing to the lives of those in the body of Christ.
 
That doesnt mean we cant talk about these things : p Id very much talk about this stuff on any forum anywhere, its fun to both share and see what others see. I am not here hoping to find a date : p


Seeking of good mates is a sign of healthy mindedness. From my reading of history, no society where singleness prevailed over the family as its foundation has ever thrived. Therefore, every one who has posted on this subject and affirmed matrimony and family life is continuing to strengthen our society. Those who have read the Bible fully know that this is consistent with the book's teaching.
