The new List

My best friend Jessica and I like to make lists.

Once we made a list of the 25 things we want in a man. That was a few years ago, and enough things have changed that I decided to make a new list. And... here it is.

Qualities I'm looking for in a male partner: 1. Very, very intelligent. 2. Self driven. 3. Self aware. 4. Well-educated. 5. Has his own life and is willing to let me have mine. 6. Comfortable at a field party AND a cocktail party. 7. Well muscled back and/or pretty shoulders. (this one isn't vital or anything. Just nice.) 8. Allows for my eccentricities. 9. Wants to have a small farm. With horses and sheep and chickens and a veggie garden. 10. Gets along with my family. 11. Has a future. (a career, a plan, something he's actively working on) 12, Cuddles while sleeping. 13. Loves Phineas. (I'll settle for tolerates Phineas.) 14. Gets along well with my friend group and includes me in his. 15. Athletic/outdoorsy. (Can build a fire, likes fishing, likes camping, etc.) 16. Has excellent style or lets me pick out his clothes. 17. Is a good driver and: a. Prefers to drive me around b. But occasionally lets me drive 18. Sexually attentive/open 19.
