Everyone has a list of qualities they look for in a future husband or wife. If you say you don't and that we are being shallow for making these lists you are most likely lying to yourself. Subconsciously you have made one and when you date someone you secretly make checks to the list. Obviously, this is ideal, but at least I know what I want. Here is the list of qualities I would like in a husband:
• Generally nice person and considerate to everyone
• Social and not shy around strangers
• Good with children with the potential to be a good father
• Goes to church on Sundays/ LDS

Definitely enjoyed reading your list, Jenna. More often than not, women have unrealistic expectations of the "perfect guy." (don't worry, this isn't directed at you or your list. just something I've observed and wish to comment on) So with anyone, it's good to remember that there's no such thing as perfect. Expectations need to be realistic. Each person you date should be judged based on their own merits, and not by unrealistic standards.
I agree with this. I think that when you are not in a relationship it is easy to make a list of qualities that you would want in a person. But I think when you actually like someone it’s the qualities that you would never even think about putting on your list that turn out to be the cutest things. Those are the qualities that make them imperfect and those qualities are what make you love them for who they really are- not just what they pretend to be.
Very few women stay below 120 lbs their entire lives.
