Top 20 Attributes I Find Attractive in Women

Photo Source: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Venus_botticelli_detail.jpg
People who know me (especially women who want to set me up on dates) have asked me what I look for in a potential spouse. So I thought I'd save future inquisitrixes the trouble of asking and just post a list.  (NOTE: This is not a list of qualities I require of my future spouse.  I'm not sure I'd require anything of a spouse.  But if I did, I'd lean towards this cutsie quote I heard my MTC director, Richard Heaton, who said: choose a woman who, if you die, will get your kids back to heaven.)

Top 20 Traits:

  1. Shared eternal goals (stipulation: they can't just say, "me too" )
  2. Attractive and well-kept (but not too well—you know, cleans up nicely but feels comfortable rockin' the ponytail)
  3. Affectionate (Flirtatious with me)
  4. Goal-driven
    1. Playfully confident personality
    2. Independent (Doesn't exclusively rely on others for amusement)
    3. Optimitstic (Looks for the good)
  5. Hard worker / Diligent
  6. Consumate learner (Never "arrives")
  7. Thinks I'm funny
  8. Patient with my silly, hypothetical conversations
  9. Compassionate / Unselfish (outward focused)
  10. Natural / Genuine / Sincere
  11. Service-minded / Thoughtful (looks for opportunities to serve others)
  12. Healthy (or at least deals with health issues in a positive/healthy way)
  13. Understands the value of money (frugal, yet charitable and willing to spend appropriately)
  14. Good mixer (socially affable)
  15. Feminine/Mannerly (not just one of the boys)
  16. Athletic (especially activities we could do together e.g., hike, jog, swim, yoga, tennis)
  17. Plays a musical instrument (which shows discipline e.g., voice, piano)
  18. Enjoys to cook and eat like me (i.e., we don't have to cook 2 meals to eat together)
  19. Dependable (finishes what she starts)
  20. Skiing and boating NOT a major part of her life (I despise the cold, and the pain of falling.)

Rummi-"CUB" vs. Rummi-"CUBE"

The "Rummikub" Pronunciation Debate Affirmative Constructive: "Cub" For years, I have been a firm advocate and defender of the pronunciation, Rummi-"CUB".  The game box I grew up with spelled it, Rummicub  on the box. However, other productions of the game have variant spellings: Rummykub , Rummy Kube , Rummy Tiles , etc.  Based solely on box spelling, the game's true pronunciation is open to interpretation. Therefore, Rummi"cub" is equally acceptable to any other given pronunciation. Negative  Constructive : "Cube" My opponents argue that since the game originated over seas, we ought to respect and maintain its original pronunciation. Affirmative Rebuttal: Americanization of the Term When the game was brought to America and given Americanized rules, its name was also Americanized. Pronunciation loyalists then counter my rebuttal with, "there are lots of adopted foreign words that have retained their original pron...

The Secret Reason Why "Good Witch" Feels Emotionally Off

TL;DR It's the Botox. For the past 3 months, my wife, Stacia, and I have been watching  Good Witch  (via Netflix and Amazon Prime). Stacia adores winding down to "Hallmark-y shows." We can rely on Good Witch episodes to always resolve happily. The episodes are never too intense. The height of conflict revolves around things like someone's inability to locate the perfect spot to snap a romantic photo for a new tourism brochure. I consider my time watching these shows spouse bonding time , and emotional training. My favorite thing about watching feel-good shows with Stacia is getting to observe her facial reactions to the on-screen drama. When two people lean in for a long-anticipated kiss, Stacia tucks her knees into her chest and frowns with her forehead while lifting her chin and bottom lip. While I'm typically unable to suspend my disbelief, Stacia seems completely entranced by the various characters' emotions. Wishing I could join her in being swept aw...

Who's Got The Funk?

I am an amateur guitarist, and I've got no funk. My musical skills seem to lacking that special something . Great musicians have it . Those fortunate enough to have gotten hold of  it , create timeless hits. While musicians without it  fade into oblivion. After spending hours searching through Blues history websites and 1970's band documentaries online, I discovered what that special something  is thank to a (70% Man, 30% fish) character from the BBC show "The Mighty Boosh" named Old Gregg. He identified that  thing  as  The Funk ! But what exactly is The Funk ? Here is some dialogue from the show to help explain its origin and purpose: Old Gregg: You're a musician, yeah? Howard: Yes I am. Old Gregg: Butchya ain't very good, are ya? Howard: I'm one of the best in town. Old Gregg: Come on, I read your reviews. Hmm? You know what your problem is? Howard: What? Old Gregg: Ya ain't got the funk. You're all rigid. Hmm? You're l...
