"Character is the sum and total of a person's choices." - P. B. Fitzwater

People ask what I look for in a guy. Here's my 'list'. I think it's really everyones 'list' but I could be wrong... I normally am.

-
Honesty. Yeah, girls say that... I mean it. When a guy tells me the truth even if it's going to hurt, I feel like he really has no reason to lie to me about anything. I respect that.

-
Sense of humor. I joke around a lot and I'm very sarcastic. I want a guy that will understand my jokes and humor and can give it out as well.

-
Loyal & faithful. Being loyal is staying true to your word, being faithful is not cheating on your significant other. Both are of utmost importance. Although I do understand things happen where you're unable to keep your promises but you've got to keep them more than you break them. Being faithful... you just have to be 100% on that one.

-
Chivalrous. I'm not saying he has to be that way ALL the time but once in awhile is nice.

-
Intelligence. This is a must. I can't be with someone who won't be able to stimulate me mentally. I've been with guys that looked great on my arm but just not all there in the head. It's frustrating. I'm not saying you have to have an IQ of Mensa status but at least try to have an interesting conversation with me.

-
Common sense. Kind of goes along with intelligence but it's not very surprising for me anymore to meet someone who is smart but is a bit ditzy. I know I'm ditzy at times but I at least have a small ounce of common sense.

-
Humble. It's great to be proud of your achievements and I will praise you for everything you accomplished but just don't be cocky about it.

-
Don't take yourself too seriously. Chill out. Relax. Act like a kid sometimes... well, not the temper tantrums, just being able to run around and have fun!

-
Don't speak to me in ebonics. I speak English. I don't understand nor will I ever want to understand what you are trying to say to me.

...

I can't think anymore. But I think these are the most sought after and desirable traits for ANYONE to have. Sadly, many people don't.

My motto is, "Treat me how you want to be treated."If you treat me well, I'll more than likely treat you better.
