The Frisky had a post the other day called Your Next Boyfriend: The 100 Qualities He Should Possess.
It created a bit of controversy, mostly blowback from guys who were upset about Entry #13, of course:
He "…will be tall."
This, along with some of the other more questionable nominations, got us thinking: what do you want in your next girlfriend, as a response to the Frisky's list, and what should have been on the list or what do you agree/disagree with on the Boyfriend list?
First of all, let's start with Pipi's response:
I think that trying to make a list like this and look for a guy who has
all of these qualities will leave you depressed and alone forever. No
girl, let alone guy fits all 100 of these things. Id be surprised if I
even did half of the things on this list.
And compiler Amelia's reply:
Oh no, it’s not that the guy has to possess everything on this list.
It’s that he should possess the qualities on this list that are
important to you.
So, keep Amelia's original intentions in mind: what are important qualities to you? We'll start things off:
...will give us the male equivalent of "pampering" once in a while
...will be respectful of our guy friends, even if they don't have the same taste as you, and to not assume all our female friends are ex's
...will give us the benefit of the doubt when we say "no, really, it's just been a rough day."
...will find a city rooftop a pretty romantic place to spend a sunset
And so on... in the comments section, please...
