My Ideal Guy and Why It Matters 1.1
I was watching an interview on Miriam Quiambao, once a first runner-up on Miss Universe. But mostly I remember her as the host of “Extra”, a game show for celebrities that she co-hosts with Paolo Bediones. She was at that time, on the top of her career, when she announced her wedding with her foreigner boyfriend. And I just thought, it must be true love that she can easily leave everything (hosting career, promising movie offers, etc.) and move to Hong Kong with her husband? A few years later she came back and announced she’s divorced. During the interview, she said during her first marriage she doesn’t have a list of her ideal man. She only knew that she was in love. She then, made a list of ideal guy and prayed for it over and over, adding some on the list as time goes by.
With this in mind, I made my own list, still a partial list, and yes there will be additions as time requires;
- Physically, I like tanned guys (ayaw na ayaw ko sa mapuputi) and of course taller than I am. I am 5 feet tall. So I guess that will be no worries. Most especially I do not like men with very tight skin pores or simply someone more beautiful than I am.
- I love great / classic movies (some of my favorites are “Beautiful Minds”, “Dead Poet Society”, “Return of the Titans”, “Rocky” series, just to name a few) and of course books. I guess, I want someone I can talk to when I am reading a book, or when I watch movies, and when I listen to music. Not just someone who simply listens to me though, someone who has an opinion on matters and characters.
- I love the outdoors, so say, someone when I say “I want to go hiking” or “I want to go camping by the beach”, he’ll say “okay, let’s go”. I hate answering the questions of “when” and “where”
- I used to say someone older, but with my age, that’s no longer an option.
- Someone who is self-assured of himself and of what he had accomplished (big or small, past or present). And someone who plans of bettering himself in the future
- I am very stubborn, really stubborn; everything has to be done “my way”. Obviously, I need someone who will scold me and tell me better ideas than mine or better way of solving things.
- I have tantrum and I am really a “brat”, since I am the youngest and a daddy’s girl growing up. I am therefore, in need of someone who is very patient and one who keeps quiet and calm when I have the bad moods which, is like almost – often.
- I don’t pray habitually or even go to church as one should. Hence, someone who’ll pray for me would be perfect.
- Someone “KURIPOT” (stingy), because I don’t believe in saving. What I believe in, is living life to the fullest, while and when you can and while you can afford it (food and travel).
- Someone who can support me financially, if any case I say, I don’t want to work anymore and just want to become a writer / artist.
- And when I am writing or in deep thoughts, I tend to be a loner and in need of “alone time”, away from the crowd and at times not even talking for days. I am hoping for someone, who understands this and supports it.
- Since, I lost both parents already; I hope to marry someone who still has parents, because I miss having a parent.
