Standards.

Original post: February 7, 2007

I was informed in yesterday's blog that I didn't mention my standards for picking a date. So everyone can understand where I'm coming from, I'll list them here:

1) On the incredibly superficial level, they have to be at least mildly attractive. Remember, though, that beauty is in the eye of the beholder (me).
2) They need a sense of humor that parallels mine. This will include a wide knowledge of pop culture references.
3) Intelligence. I don't want to have to explain everything to you. Unless it's something complicated, and I'll get to show off.
4) A passion for reading. We could spend our evenings with a good book. No, not THE good book...
5) A knowledge of fine wines.
6) An understanding of Quantum Physics.
7) The ability to play the accordian.
8) Without their hands.
9) An ex-boyfriend who was a midget.
10) A picture of said boyfriend as proof.
11) A pet hippopotamus named Spartacus.

I don't see why that's so hard to find. People aren't trying hard enough to aspire to my tastes.
