Ideal Persons

Hello my friends,
A while ago at a Winter Weekend evening devos focused on romantic relationships. We split up the group by gender and asked for each to write a list about the qualities that made up the ideal man/woman. Thanks to Laura in the office these were typed up and I am (finally!) sharing them with you here today!

The Ideal Woman – According to the guys 

-       Intuitive – you can sit with them without being nervous or uncomfortable

-       Someone who talks, but not excessively

-       Relatable – easy to understand

-       Direct – no mind games (remember, we’re guys and 

      we are completely oblivious)

-       Kind – not stuck up

-       Laid back

-       Independent

-       A girl who never asks, “Does this make me look fat?”

-       Does not get over-jealous

-       Patient – does not freak out quickly

-       Is able to admit when they are wrong

-       Mature, but not over-serious – still has a playful 

      attitude

-       Good sense of humor

-       A really caring heart – a girl who legitimately cares 

      for many people

-       Humble – but not self-degrading

-       Interesting

-       Outgoing

-       Willing to try new things – open-minded

-       Non-conformist

-       Not afraid to get dirty/work hard

-       Challenges us to be better people

-       Confidence

-       Dresses modestly (seeing “skanky” dress is really annoying)

-       Understanding – does not pressure us into doing things

·      Eg. Not forcing us to go to a movie when we’re not feeling it that day

-       Does not treat us as a trophy – not as status symbols

-       Beauty is a personal preference for 

      males:

·      HONESTLY, natural beauty is

    better than make-up – make-up is so 

    fake

·      Hair color is COMPLETELY subjective

·      Surgical enhancements are a BIG 

     NO – All natural!
