The Perfect Man

I was reading old entries and I found this one. It struck me how much things haven’t changed. So, to remind myself…

THE PERFECT MAN

Absolutes

Respect – You gotta respect me and my life.

Family – My family is important to me. Don’t ask me to choose you over them, cause you’ll probably lose.

Polite/Manners – You had better know how to behave. I’m your girlfriend, not your babysitter.

Confidant, Not Cocky – We all have self-esteem issues. You are not God’s Gift to Women, but you are also not scum of the earth. I will not play “Pretty Mirror” all day long with you.

Music – You don’t have to sing, you don’t have to play piano, or compose or anything. But I do play and I love to play. If you won’t understand that, this isn’t gonna happen. Music is about 50% of my life. If you can’t handle that, I can’t handle you.

Similiar Tastes – Enjoy some of my books. Give them a chance. Don’t call my music stupid. Its music, its expression, its personal, its opinionated.

Bipolar/Depression/Manic – Don’t pretend you understand, cause you don’t. Try to learn about and care that I have it. And know that you will never completely understand it. Its indescribable until you have it. And I don’t want you to have it. One crazy person is enough. Know my signs, my ticks, my signals, and then listen to my words. Pay attention, cause I’m nuts. Really.

Important
Respect of Females – You don’t get us. Just accept that fact and I’ll be happy. I do things you don’t understand. You don’t understand what its like to menstrate. You don’t understand what its like to give birth. You don’t understand it and thats ok. Don’t pretend to, don’t try to understand. Just back away from the chocolate and don’t pick a fight with me.

Respect of MY friends (ie Megan, Manny, Eric, Brian, Rebecca, to name a few) – They were here first and will probably be here long after you’re gone. Get used to them, cause they aren’t leaving. If they don’t like you, we will probably have issues at some point.

Respect of YOUR friends – They were there first and will probably be there long after I’m gone. Yes, I’m important. Yes, you need to pay attention to me. But you also need your GNO (Guy’s Night Out). Cause I need my GNO (Girl’s Night Out) too. Let me meet your friends and don’t be ashamed of me. I need to get used to them, cause I know they aren’t leaving. If they don’t like me, we will probably have issues at some point.

Movies – Don’t hate me for my movie collection. Some are really great and some are just plain old fun. Triple X is not the best movie ever made. But I enjoy it. Get over it.

Be a Man – I like a guy who’s a man. Who will make decisions, who will direct his own life, who goes for what he knows he wants. Don’t order me around, I’m not your slave. I’m your equal. Listen to me when I challenge you. Respect what I am saying.

Be aware of your MALENESS – You are a guy. You are a jerk. You will screw up. Admit it. Apologize and move on. I’ll let it go a lot sooner if you can admit to that. “I am a guy. I am a jerk. I screwed up. I’m sorry.” Don’t promise never to do it again, cause you’re lying. Don’t promise to make everything up to me, cause you can’t. Know that you are a guy and a jerk. I know that I’m a girl and a bitch. Welcome to reality.
