This is a definition essay I had to write for my english class. I had to define the perfect mate. Tell me what you think.
The Perfect Mate
It is hard to define what the perfect mate would be like, because it is different for every person. Some like a tall, dark, and handsome man, while others like men with long hair and goatees, the kind that still live with their mothers' and are looking for a woman to support them. It all really depends on the person's own feelings and what they like. To me, the perfect mate is someone who intelligent and loves me despite my bad judgment, is interested in the same things as me and finds my quirky habits and obsessions endearing, and respects me, as well as my friends, and mostly just loves me for me.
The ideal mate is intelligent. He speaks well, and writes even better. There is nothing worse than reading an email from a partner, and realizing he doesn't know the difference between "your" and "you're", and can't figure out whether to use "to" "too" or "two". Bad grammar makes me cringe, and it kills me to have to correct people on it. I don't want to spend the rest of my life with someone constantly telling him it's "more fun" not "funner."
He needs to be able to talk to me about the things I am interested in. He needs to know about politics and world issues, and he needs to want to discuss them with me as seriously as Ninja Turtles or Star Wars, and still able to laugh when I get aggravated with the discussion. The ideal mate would surprise me with books instead of flowers. I love to read and I love to discuss books I've read, and what the author really meant by killing the main character, and in general just talking about books, and the ideal mate would be on the same page as me.
The ideal mate and I would go out, and he would tell me all night that I'm drinking too much and try to stop me and be angry with me, and when we got home and he was right and I got sick, he'd still hold my hair back and bring me crackers and rub my back instead of saying "I told you so." He would still love me and support me, even when I make bad decisions, but would always encourage me to do better. He would try his best to convince me to stay in and study instead of going to karaoke, though I most likely won't listen, but understands that I am hard headed and almost always say the wrong thing.
The ideal mate would also be interested in a lot of the same things I like. He would like the same kind of music as me, or at least respect it enough to go to a Clutch concert and get in the mosh pit with me. He would hate cats and love dogs, and spend the entire day watching all 6 Star Wars movies with me. It is hard to have a good relationship unless the two people have things in common, so the ideal mate would love all the same hangouts and things that I like to do in my spare time, he'd go camping with me or spend the night in and just rent a movie, or even take spontaneous trips to the aquarium with me.
I am a very quirky person and have a lot of weird habits, so the ideal mate would have to love that about me and find it endearing. He would understand that it's not okay to speak to me while Grey's Anatomy is on and be okay with that. I'm not the most polite person in the world, so he would have to be able to laugh at me when I burp in public or pick out a wedgie. He would make a face back at me when I make my weird thinking faces, and would understand my fluent speak of mumble. He'll sit up with me all night when I'm scared to go to sleep after watching a scary movie that I knew would give me nightmares, and won't think I'm insane because 90% of the time I'd prefer him not to be jealous, but some days I just need him to be jealous over me.
Respect is a huge factor in any relationship, and it's hard to have a successful one without it. The ideal mate would respect me for the person I am and appreciate me. He respects the fact that I don't smoke, and I don't like smoking, so even if he did smoke, he wouldn't do it around me. He would also respect the fact that he doesn't have to pay for me all the time, and doesn't mind when I try to pay for him or buy him something, which has always been a problem with my exes. They seem to feel emasculated and don't like the idea of looking like their girlfriend supports them. The ideal mate also respects my religious views, though he doesn't necessarily have to believe in them, as long as he understands how much they mean to me.
He respects me and understands that I also need my space, and my time to go out with my friends. When we go out together, he understands that we can breathe without each other and don't have to spend every minute together. He doesn't constantly ask where I am going or what I am doing, and understands that if I want him to know, I'll tell him.
Most importantly, the ideal mate must love me. He makes me laugh, and lets me wear his clothes to bed, and thinks I look beautiful without makeup. He remembers all the little things and joins in when I'm dancing by myself to the music in my head. I wake up to grilled cheese sandwiches in bed some mornings, and to play fighting on others. He will send me cute text messages, and be there for my friends when they need a hug too. He gives back scratches, and always smells perfect, and usually forgets to brush his hair unless I tell him. Basically, the perfect guy is the C3P0 to my R2D2.
I have yet to find this ideal mate yet, but I'm positive that one day, when I'm not looking or trying, it will happen. Many people get so wrapped up in the hunt for the perfect mate, and try desperately their whole lives to find them, but I believe that it's when you're not looking at all is when they find you. My ideal mate may not seem that great to others, but he seems perfect to me.
Oh man. What a fucking night. dramadramadrama... the best part... I have NOTHING to do with it, but somehow I'm getting nonstop calls from my friend's exboyfriend at 4 in the morning because she dumped his sorry ass, and found a new guy. ftw.
oh, I cut all muh hair off. I loooooove it.
you can see my mustang in the background of this one!!!
okay... time for bed. I'm worn out...
