Ok,

I feel I have, in small amounts, qualities of all of those.. "roles" for lack of a better word. He would see those in me as well and remind me. Does that make sense?
Yes.

I was just thinking about this last night, and how it has changed with each lesson I've learned from each relationship I've had.

After my marriage, I wanted someone who wasn't so prone to taking the weight of the world onto his shoulders, who didn't need tons of affectionate gestures, and could take a little chop-breaking. Not that I don't like affection, but my ex-hub went a little overboard with it, and couldn't take any chop-breaking without his feelings getting hurt. I wanted a little bit of a mischief-maker, too.

Well, I got that in my last SO, but ZOOOOM, too far in the other direction, a nihilist low in empathy who often took his mischief too far. But I saw so much untapped potential for creativity in him, such flashes of brilliance and style, but he just couldn't let himself go all the way with it, push his own boundaries, and take risks. It was pounded out of him when he did try to express himself as a youth.

So now someone who can express creativity freely and confidently, whose smile reaches his eyes and sometimes looks like he has a secret he'll tell you if you're nice, who can have a riotously good time and yet can be deep and articulate, maybe a little soulful, appeals to me.

And blonds. Most of my exes have dark hair and blue eyes. Now I'm about the blond.

All of that amounts to a huge crush on Marko Saaresto. Obviously I'm a mere mortal and my next guy isn't going to be a rock star, but if he is even halfway out there, I'll be on him like white on rice.

A hot, fit, dark, and stallion-like man that doesn't let me get out of bed.

I like smart girls. Looks are nice, but a girl who is pretty sharp, introspective, and passionate about something is a keeper. Other than that, there are way too many permutations and combinations to generalize an ideal woman. You have to get to know someone because everybody is different. You may find the perfect match is not what you were originally looking for.

I never had the preconceived notion of an ideal man until I met, then married him.
