I don't have 10 that I require. There are two, female and actively seeking to be more completely satisfied in Christ, that are biblical requirements. An argument could be made that respecting me is biblical. My other two are that I have to like being around her and that I have to like looking at her.

Do I have other things that are important to me? Absolutely. Know what you like and what you don't like. but having any sort of detailed requirement list is silly.

That said, here is a 10 point preferences list:

1) Likes me having motorcycles

2) Likes cars, especially classics

3) Wears sundresses

4) Bakes as well or better than my mom

5) Cooks as well or better than my mom

6) Exactly one head shorter than me, with an exotic coloration

7) Enjoys craft beers

8) Thinks I'm hung the moon

9) Always genuinely laughs at my jokes

10) Well established financially

I think this is a very reasonable list. Now all God has to do is deliver her to my doorstep.

1. In pursuit of a Christ-like character

2. Has a similar outlook/attitude about life

3. Finds me attractive in every way(mind/body/soul) and vice-versa



...and I'm out. I might think of something later, but those are the only "requirements" that I can think of right now.

Oppps; I just answered this in the previous thread "What do like about women" under the dog and horse section. Just add a deep loving relationship with God to complete the list.

Tulip:



What if she wasn't any of these things. What if the Lord wanted you to have his best for you and not yours? I am glad these are your preferences and not must haves.



The being female is obvious. I think your list of wants is very ambitious.



Thanks for clarifying the moon part!!!!!

Jeremiah, I think you missed the hyperbole in that list

What's sad is that that list looks legitimate in comparison to a lot of the lists I've seen girls make. Also, it should probably be about 4x as long...

And you specified that it was a "preferences" list, and not a "requirement" one, so you're in the clear.
