mmmm...bad boys!

The night I met V-boy a conversation got started about what women look for in guys. How this conversation began I have no idea but somehow I got dragged into it. I don't normally have a specific list that any guy must meet before I will date them, that's not my style. That's what my sister does and she hasn't had much luck so I've generally avoided being too picky. There has always been a short list of qualities a person must possess, but nothing too outrageous. As I've gotten older, I've become more selective. I've started a new list, a more specific list, one where certain qualities must exist or I won't even consider the person.

Required Qualities:
-male
-single
-non-smoker
-employed
-ambitious
-confident, but not cocky
-can make me laugh
-likes sports

It's still a pretty simple list but it's amazing the number of guys that I've dated over the years that wouldn't get a date today. Although, no one qualifies right now -- I'm still on hiatus. But when I give that up, I wonder if things will be any different than they were before? I've changed, but I'm still attracted to the same type of guys. Musicians, bartenders, hockey players...you know the type...bad boys. They break all the rules and that's why I like them -- they're sexy! But then I've also been known to date the dorks and wanna-be's that name drop, thinking that will make them popular. Hopefully I'll learn from past experiences and break the cycle. Meet guys that are good for me instead of the ones that make my friends want to knock some sense into me -- thanks girls! I'm tired of making the same mistakes over and over again so hopefully I'm past that point in my life.

It's time to take control of my destiny.
