We Are In Dire Need Of...

Proper eye candy.

I was walking in the wet market a few minutes ago

looking for something juicy to sink my teeth into

when I spotted an oval apple(but that's another story)

Anyways, out of my peripheral line of vision

I spotted the back of a tall, (what I hoped to be) hunk

Ever so slightly, he turned towards me

and

I immediately nixed him

completely lost interest

Why?

He had the jaw-line of a seal.

So I'm dejectedly ambling down the lane

when I started to reflect

squinting in the sun, furrowed brow

on my

quick and absolute vetoing of him

I was on to something..

something I'd never analysed in myself before

What type of man am I into?

[and here we're talking aesthetically pleasing only,

yes, shallow as it may sound,

at first impression, good looks always count,

you and I both know that,

so lets just quit pretending otherwise]

It was the first time I'd ever clued into the fact that

I prefer a stronger jawline

I flipped through my memory banks

found the folder marked "exes"

and went back in time

like a nymph I floated hazily

over myself and my then man

gleaning interesting tidbits of information

and I found this chewy bit:

give or take 1 or 2 of them,

all were above 6 ft tall.

I also discovered

that I went from

adamantly insisting that I would never like chest-hair

to burying my nose in chest hair

They were all fit sportsmen types

who had a sport of choice

The sprinter

the tennis player

the swimmer

the trapeze artist

But some of that

was just then

now, I've changed

Concluding which,

is that the now criteria is preferably

(in the manner of looks and physique):

approaching 6ft tall or over

strong jawline

broad shoulders

not too muscly

not to meaty

symmetrical, pronounced features

nice skin

short-hair

tanned

But of course, those things don't matter

if the person in question is not:

Intelligent

Humourous

Warm

Kind-Hearted

Affectionate

Clean!

Nice smelling

Ambitious

Spontaneous

Adventurous

Other things that would be nice:

Foodie

Cooks well

Reads

Cleans

Appreaciates art and theatre

Can Dance

Men with those qualities and more exist,

I know this because I've met them.

Is it too much to ask?

I didn't even add things against the male nature

like:

will never cheat

or

will always be able to find his own things

or

will not hungrily look at other women while you are clinging off his arm

or

will always put the toilet seat up

I just scrolled up, and re-read.

It appears I'll stay single forever.
