My Boyfriend Requirements
1) Commitment: I know that this might seem like a no-brainer but somehow people do not seem to grasp this simple concept. I admit it, I’m a selfish person and I don’t like to share. If he wants an “open relationship” him and his penis can look somewhere else.
2) Zero lying: Again, another no-brainer. Just as a reminder to all of the guys out there, if you lie, girls WILL find out. Wanna know why? It's because we have special girl senses to detect when you’re lying. As a result of this, a part of our brain will go off resulting in some If not all of these actions (that you could have prevented by telling us the truth):
A) Bitching
B) Crying
C) Yelling (goes along with the bitching)
D) Slamming of doors
E) Items suddenly being able to fly far distances then shattering3) Don’t be a (insert dirty name for a cat here): I don’t know about you guys but I don’t need a guy that cries about every little thing that goes wrong. I need a man who knows how to handle and take charge of a situation if needed. I’m not saying it’s a bad thing for guys to show emotions and cry at a terrible situation, I actually think that’s good for guys to show that. But, when it comes to the point where I can’t have an argument without him crying like a baby, I’m gonna have to leave.
4) No drugs: Not to offend anybody and your beliefs but this is a huge “no no” for me. I’ve always been an advocate for being above the influence and that’s not going to change for anybody. I know it would hurt me to date somebody who did drugs so I’m just going to avoid that altogether.
5) Being my subject: This is going to be a little silly but as an aspiring photographer you’re required to be my model if needed. Not complying with this will result in me begging non stop until you say yes. (I’m not fully serious, if he doesn’t want to he doesn’t have to.)
6) My friends: You have to get along with my friends. They were here before you and if we don’t workout, they will be here after you, picking up the pieces. I don’t need the drama of you and my friends not getting along.
7) Having fun: If you can’t sit down and challenge me to a game of Uno while watching my favorite Disney movie, we’re done. I’m not one for “partying.” I’m almost 21 years old but love acting like a child! Building forts in the middle of the living room and camping out in them, having food/pillow fights and whatever you want to throw in there. If this isn’t your kind of party, you can move on to some other girl.
8) Look into your heart: I think this is one of the most important requirements for me. I think that if my boyfriend can’t stop and help out a stranger in need during his busy day, he isn’t worth dating. Watching a show called “What would you do?” has really opened up my eyes to the kind of person I want to date.
What does your list look like?

You have a Chili's-list there (Chili from TLC. That is why she is single now) :p. Yeah, we all have our requirements. I wouldn't go overboard or you will be single forever. No one's perfect.
Zero lying?? Everyone does! You should say not a lot of lying or minimal lying.
a sense of humor.
i like your list.
add ambition, has a job, appreciates and loves his family and we are golden.oh yeah... and utterly adores his lady and is respectful.awe now that is really golden.oooh oooh and that he is a sexual man. loves to please and be pleased. it is amazing how many guys i dated who werent as sexual as me.
okay... im finished.
No superficial/appearance checkpoints? Ahh, disappointed.
With the exemption of #5, I'd say my standards are very similar! Nice list :)
Mine is simpler; (probably cause i am a guy)
- be honest
- have a sense of humour
- be open minded
- don't deceive (obvious)
- willing to take the good for the bad (because no one is perfect, and to think you will find someone who fits you perfectly is 100% absurd, i am willing to change for those i care about, within reason)
Aren't all of these obvious? I, and many other guys, fit all of them.... :S
i used to have a list, and then i realized it doesn't matter and you can't choose who you fall for.
a super cutie, who intrigues me and has my mind and body aching for more
I would add humility in there as well. I find it very attractive when a person is humble to admit that they did something wrong and apologize for it.
Oh and someone that's willing to love and respect your family would be a great thing too!
Haha...the items flying across the room...that definately happened to my poor boyfriend.
I would add Patience. Sometimes we girls cry without reason. Sometimes we are moody or frustrated or needy. And as I see it men need to understand it and accept it.
i agree with the no drugs thing, but i once dated a girl who occasionally smoked weed, and she's one of the most amazing people i've ever known. i would've never gone out with her if i knew that beforehand, yet in the long run, i'm kind of happy i didn't.
@writemyheartt@xanga - this requires that you go out with a dude that doesn't seem like your type in the first place. i think most girls (and guys, i suppose) are incapable of doing that. props to you for that.
I like your list. Very honest and realistic
I used to have a list, but who I fall for is never exactly like that. I'm glad. I think I'd be bored if everything went the way I expected it to be. But I do need a guy who can make me laugh. If he fails at that, somethings wrong, because I laugh at everything. Even pointless things, like if you say "chair" incredibly slowly.
1.funny
2.gets me and vice versa.3.at least 5'11 i like my heels4.loves pets and have a good relationship with his parents5.goal orientedi stopped having lists after so many disappointments, all you need to do is be yourself and have a good time and you might be my boyfriend.
My list:
1) Have a vagina.
2) Don't be a bitch.
These are fair. Especially #2; I dated a liar before and that was the one & only time my inner psychotic bitch ever came out in a relationship. Liars aren't worth having around at all.
@TheFashionableEconomist@xanga - Pretty much. That's why I never keep lists on anything.
@Hinase@xanga - bc evolutionarily speaking, all those requirements are already built into our subconscious.
@TheFashionableEconomist@xanga - hmm..interesting..
@StillNotaPrettyGirl@xanga - True that, same happened to me, in fact.. I dated two of them-_- ugh.
I've never felt the need to have a list. I don't believe you can really control who you fall for, especially if it's "true love" and not just dating. Then again I also don't date. They either go out with me or they don't. The only thing on your list I completely agree with on a personal level is the drugs but I'd also add drinking. Not because I am intolerant of them in general. Like I don't give a shit if my friends do that stuff. But my parents were alcoholics and did drugs and I wouldn't be able to deal with that stuff being in my face constantly. Thankfully my current boyfriend feels the same way I do about it because his parents were kind of the same way.
Other then that I can't relate to not wanting a pussy for a boyfriend cause..well..I've never really met that kind of guy. Expecting a person to never lie, ever, is unrealistic. I don't feel like my friends come before my boyfriend because honestly I've had boyfriends/girlfriends be there for me much more during my darkest times then any of my friends have. The same applies to my family. Neither have been all that helpful to me and were actually in fact part of the problem.
i don't need a list.
but zero lying really? i mean yeah okay obviously don't lie about being a d*ck.
But i lie to my boyfriend. if he gets me a gift i hate i'm not gonna say OH THIS EFFIN SUCKS. im gonna say thanks babe, i love it.
i think white lies are perfectly acceptable. if i just got in a an accdient and get a big ass black eye, i still want him to tell me i'm beautiful <3

@SpOnTaNeOuS_sPiTbAlL@xanga - lol @ THIS EFFIN SUCKS
Yeah, I really think flowers are a waste of a gift but thus far, haven't told my bf.
I don't really have a list. I think everyone's got their positives and negatives so...it's too complicated. Just go with the flow :)
lol only crazy girls who've never dated make lists like these, because if they have dated, they should know that they have no control over who they fall for. you don't "create" a boyfriend that meets all your requirements.. you fall for someone and accept his flaws as well.
