Alright folks, let's pull out the “Must Have” lists…yep, that list which names all of the things your dream guy or girl has got to have in order for us to be happy with them. We all have them, those lists... some written down while others are subconsciously engrained in the back of our minds.
We’ve heard our girlfriends talk about how they want a man who has a six-figure paycheck, perfect body, intelligent and kind. >_> …ok, by a show of hands, how many of ya’ll, after hearing this come from one of your friends, have said to yourself, “Honey, how you gonna want all that when you barely making ends meet, is overweight and mean as a bull?” Or fellows, you’ve heard your homeboys talk about how his woman’s gotta be fine as wine, has a flawless face, and is submissive to boot? And your thoughts were, “Man, how you gon’ get all that when you straight “tore up from the floor up” yourself?” LOL!! It's a true trip out here ya'll! Folks are making their lists and checking them twice! I've heard friends name all sorts of minor behavior or some trivial slight as “deal breakers”, while I’m saying to myself….Girl…Really? …smh…
But seriously, expectations are fine and to want someone who’s complimentary to you, is even better, but when does the “list” go too far? Is it reality to think you’re going to find that perfect person who just so happens to be kind, generous, fine, smart, WHO ACTUALLY WANTS YOU and don’t mind putting up with all the lack of things you’re NOT bringing to the table? Hey, it can happen…. but if you haven’t won the lottery lately, I wouldn’t bet on it.
No way am I saying settle for someone who you can’t even stand to look at or hang out with. All I’m saying is, people, give the average man and woman a chance! Please allow them and yourselves the opportunity to meet. You just never know….your “Mr Do Right” may be just around the corner…or just hanging on the corner (just kidding!)? Besides, perfection makes you work too hard! ..lol...
How you gonna demand this:
