5 Random Things That Will Make Me Fall in Like With A Man January 4, 2010

So, this was inspired by the writer of one of my new favorite blogs untilIgetmarried.com. Totally jocked his idea…but I liked it!

Of course, there are some givens that I must have. He must be living saved. He must have goals. He must be gainfully employed. So on and so forth. But these are the things that will make one guy stand out in the crowd, all other must-haves being equal…

 1. He’s good at Taboo.

Not only because Taboo is one of my favorite games, but because it tells me a few things about a guy. For one, he has a good grasp of the English language, if he scores like 10 points for his team when he’s the clue giver. He is descriptive and it shows (me) that he can really get his point across when he puts his mind to it. For two, it shows that not only is he a good listener, but that he is able to hear and process information concurrently. In Taboo, when you’re a guesser, you have to drown out all of the noise around you, to concentrate on what the clue giver is saying. I love when a person can accurately reflect back to me what I’ve been trying to say!

2. He has just as many fond memories of the 80s and 90s as I do.

I loved my life growing up. The culture. The TV (especially the TV). The music. If you knew that Cliff and Claire Huxtable originally had FOUR kids and Sondra was added a few episodes later or you have all the songs you liked from your formative years on your Ipod and listen to them more than the other stuff on there, it’ll get ya far! PS: Don’t believe me about the Sondra thing? Do your research!

3. He knows as much useless pop culture information as I do.

Your mom let you watch (probably too much) TV too? Know a bunch of stuff that has no real bearing on life. You can clean up in a game of Jeopardy! yet, have no idea how you or why you know that Anne Boleyn was divorced and set up to be executed by Henry the VIII for her inability to give him a male heir? Come holla at me.

4. He hates the food I hate.

I’m just saying. It’ll make life much easier on the both of us if you don’t eat mayo/salad dressing, cornish hen, chitlins, asparagus or any hot dog except for Oscar Meyer. You won’t feel deprived when I never cook the food you like. I won’t have to control my dry heaves because you just had to have a ham sammich with Miracle Whip (just nasty).

5. He lets me control the remote.

I know many won’t like this one, but dude, I promise…If you let me watch Tabatha’s Salon Takeover/Girlfriends/Real Housewives/Golden Girls without any lip or commentary, when you wanna watch whatever randomness you watch I will extend the same courtesy. Better yet, how about you watch one TV and I watch the other! LOL
