Expectations

  • I want a guy who is taller than me when I wear heels.
  • I want a guy who can sing.
  • I want a guy who can rap.
  • I want a guy who is good at sports/athletics.
  • I want a guy who can dance.
  • I want a guy who can cook.
  • I want a good looking guy.
  • I want a smart guy.
  • I want a guy who is rich.
  • I want a guy who has a goal in life.
  • I want a guy who is funny.
And the list goes on and on and on and on and.. oh, sorry, I got caught up in the moment there. Anyway, that list is just a minute description of what a female wants in a man and like I said earlier, the list goes on. It's never ending, With various alterations to suit personal differences, the list is probably the problem of its own solution.
Sometimes we treat life like a pizza. Imagine you want to make a pizza and you have to dough already given to you (a male specimen) then you pick the base- tomato or barbecue sauce (educated or not), then you chose your cheese- None, Mozzarella, Asiago, Provolone, Romano or Parmesan -( Lets make this race shall we?) Then we choose our toppings pepperoni, salami, ham, pineapples, mushrooms, chicken, beef, sweetcorn, jalapenos (these define the various features/characteristics/qualities and skills) . You lap it in the oven and it comes out... and you have a bite, it' not quite how you imagined it to be right? So  you leave it out, and someone who comes along, no idea what's in it, ha a bite, and well LOVES it.
I know, I know men shouldn't be dumbed down to pizzas (or should they? - I joke) but honestly, we build up so many expectations that when a certain factor doesn't play as well as we expected, (the jalapenos aren't as spicy/ he isn't that funny) we become dissatisfied.
I used to have this major list of what my husband should be and sometimes I still find myself saying 'my husband better be this...' or 'my husband better be that...' but I never mean it. I've dropped all my expectations as I'd like to be content. I don't want to compare my relationship with anyone else's, I just want to brag about how content I am with a fella who leave his socks lying around after work, but helps with the laundry eventually.
I don't know what my husband should be, but I know the 3 things he shouldn't be (NO! I won't tell  - j.holiday voice) and with that I leave you.

Oh wait.!!! I don't. This isn't directed at females alone. Guys also have their expectations and well all I can say is 'expect the unexpected'.
I know we all want the finer things in life.. but who are the less finer things for?
And on THAT note I leave you!!!

Just a Toni Thought...
