Must be college educated, in the process of getting an education, or entrepreneurial
hard working
Someone who has had to work their way up from poverty or has put themselves through college
Between 5'6"-6'4"
Not skinny but not too muscular
Down to earth
Gentlemanly- I'm talking opening car doors and flowers
Drinks only 2 nights a week maximum
No smoking, no drug use
Has lived alone and knows how to take care of himself (cook and keep a house semi-clean)
culturally similar to me (I'm a liberal Roman Catholic and Hispanic so someone who can mesh with my cultural views)
Loyal and respectful
About me:
24 year old student and I work part time in an office. I have been putting myself through college by working as an administrative assistant and sometimes waiting tables. I'm above average in terms of looks. Average women's height, athletic, natural D-cup and curvy hips. I already have many work opportunities for after graduation and I have been supporting myself since I was 18.
I notice I get upset with my boyfriend when he fall short of my standards such as not helping me carry heavy things or being lazy because his parents still support him almost 100% even 4 years out of college.
I don't know if my standards are too high and bound to ruin any relationship or if they are good, healthy standards.

You'd break up with a guy for not bringing you flowers?
I wouldn't break up with a guy but I would be disappointed if he didn't bring flowers at least once a month. I probably would never say anything about it because I understand its not as common among others.
Why does age matter so much to you? I'm 23 and I have 30 year old friends who constantly say that they feel like I'm their age
As far as the whole living at home situation goes, I'm living at home myself for another 6 months to a year and a half (trying to set it where I can buy my first house instead of getting an apartment) but my parents certainly don't support me. Hell I earn more than my dad does right now
Those aren't bad guidelines but they shouldn't be taken on a strict level
Just thinking what it'd be like to be in a relationship with you. Instead of having so many stupid rules and ideas of how everyone should be, why not just be happy with people and enjoy your time together?
Maybe you should start thinking about what you do for the other person instead of being so bent on what everyone is doing for you.
