... NOT conventional (if I have the awesome job offer abroad he will have to pack up and come if he wants to be with me)

I like this. I fully intend to, once i'm with someone properly, to do the domestic stuff - my girlfriend/wife/whatever can go off and do her madskillz job whilst i stay and tidy the house and take the kids to school.

I think it would be more a case of someone else explaining to me why I'm single! I don't know...

please explain to me WHY you are single!?!?you're hot!

Someone mentioned this earlier I think, but it's something I have as an ideal too. That is, liking to argue - I like to argue with a passion and I think that it indicates passion in a relationship. Without it, the relationship gets very boring! It's no fun arguing on your own, so someone willing to participate and yet accept that it doesn't matter very much.

Maybe you just love being footloose and fancy free?

I'm very picky, but I don't think that being 'free' has much to do with it. There's nothing I do now that I wouldn't be able to do if I were in a relationship (oh dear, that's rather depressing). More a case of lack of offers, or any for that matter...I shall stop being self-pitying now!

I will, one day.

And you get Steve to do your ironing for you.

Yes, I do all the cleaning and ironing in this house. I also cook for me and Lee, but you don't eat the same stuff as us anymore.

[hr]

Not my ethics.

[Duggeh]

Is it cant cook or wont cook though?

I got rid of mine; they made everybody assume I worked in IT and was a geek (they should get to know me first before they find out i'm a geek).

Can't say it's done much for my sex appeal, but I think I look better without them, which is the main thing.

Ideal man:

Physically: Someone taller than me, 6 foot is probably the ideal but anything around that (I'm 5'8). I prefer darker hair either very short or shaggy and long, but I hate gel. Broad shoulders and musicians' hands

Everything else:
Someone who will dance with me at the bop/a ball/in the street no matter how drunk we are, how stupid we look or who is watching.

Someone who is a non-smoker, drinks socially and isn't heavily into drugs.

Someone who is polite to everyone, not just people he wants to impress, and has nice manners.

Someone who has a sense of humour - particularly about the way we look in the morning .

Someone who makes me laugh, will debate with me, and who will understand that sometimes you *have* to play Risk (or similar) for five hours straight.

Someone who is as much of a geek as I am.

Someone independent and who can cook would be nice too....




No wonder I'm still single...

Of course, if the right guy came along, all this would fly out the window. Except for the non-smoker bit.

Wow, you read my freaking mind. I didn't know I had a twin out there, but apparently except for the whole liking dark-haired guys thing (I like me some blonds, oh yes) we have exactly the same taste, down to the height and everything.

Alas, I haven't found any matching this description around here. You??

I'm hoping we'll actually get matches for people's ideal person lists, that'll be the interesting part.

Anyway, mine is:

1)Not necessarily blindingly intelligent, but curious and interested in finding out about things. Not all jaded and crusty but actually excited by learning new things.

2)Has some special interest or skill. Not necessarily artsy or creative, just something they're good at and like doing. I always think that's pretty awesome.

3)Really knows how to talk - back and forth debating with real opinions. I like arguing with people sometimes - just to see what they'll say - I love it when people get into the spirit of it.

oh, and taller than me, please. I'm only 5'6" so it's not asking much, I think.

[BeccaLydia]

I've had to think a lot about this, which is why I've not stated my ideals before now (absolutely nothing to do with putting off revision).

I think it's come down to being willing to have a passionate argument, tall (preferably 6ft or over, but I'd settle for taller than me, which shouldn't be asking too much as I'm only 5'5" - JennyO: like mother, like daughter!) and then I don't think I'm that fussy over colourings, but I do like classically handsome guys (what girl doesn't?). Tall, dark, handsome and mysterious would cover it for me...

Then comes the more fussy bit. He would have to be more career orientated than family, like myself, and have ambition. I am both these things and have found that I can't deal with going out with someone who is neither, it's incredibly frustrating! Someone of equal or higher intelligence than myself would be good, but I think that comes under the 'arguing' heading really.

That's all - am I asking too much?!

[Rufus]

I wouldn't say so, BeccaLydia.

A man tall man that is career-orientated with ambition?

Not hard to find, surely. Else the Financial Times wouldn't have a readership, Oswald Boateng would go out of business, Canary Wharf would shrivel up in its own foulness, and the food hall of Jenners would be no more.

Dear God, for the foodhall alone, may corporate evil flourish.
