The Perfect Man

Strange title, but bear with me.
Basically today Lauren and I were discussing what characteristics and features we'd put into a guy if we could create the perfect boyfriend.

Lauren being 13 was all 'cool, must have swag, buy me sweets, not be as good as me on Mario Kart'.
Turns out that I on the other hand am a little big more picky.
So here's my list for the perfect boyfriend:
(Note this person probably doesn't exist)

Features:

1) Height: Call me traditional, but the guy should always be taller. Not like Hulk-sized, but taller anyway.

2) Brown hair (or black). Brown haired guys are just so much more attractive and I don't even know why. (Ryan Gosling and the Hemsworth clan are the exceptions here). Seriously though, look at a list of hot male celebrities or whatever, and brown haired guys will dominate the list. Fact of life.

3) No beard. None. Imagine how scratchy it would be *shudders*. I will only concede on this point if he is one of those guys who reeeally suits facial hair, but I will still never accept Gandalf beardage.

And any other features I really aren't that fussed about. I mean Colin Morgan-sized cheekbones are a plus, but not a must.

Characteristics/Personality:

1) Smart. Not genius level or anything, but a guy being really dumb is just horrible. He's got to be able to hold a decent conversation.

2) He's got to like watching tv or going to the cinema. Not sitting for hours vegetating in front of a tv, but he's got to be able to sit and watch a few hours of Supernatural or Chuck a week. Just a few.

3) Funny. If you're in a long lasting relationship the person has to be able to make you laugh. Not all the time, because it would start to hurt, but he's got to be able to crack a few jokes or make the occasional witty comment.

4) Either put up with some of my nerdier aspects, or even bring some of his own nerd-age to the table. Pretty self explanatory this one.

5) Be easygoing. I'm not particularly uptight, so it would annoy me if he was. He's got to be quite laid back, but not so laid back that he's horizontal.

6) Respectful. Again pretty self explanatory. He's got to respect himself, me, friends, family, random animals on the street. This one is a two way street though.

7) Not be OCD about cleaning. As anyone who has ever seen my bedroom will know, I'm not overly fussed about it being clean. So he cannot be a clean freak, or every conversation would become about that one time I skipped hoovering for a few days.

8) Spontaneous. I always wish I was more spontaneous, but I don't really get the chance to be. So if he was, life would be great.

--------------
And he's also got to: get all my references and make his own, like Lord of the Rings, Merlin and Harry Potter, not be allergic to Ellie, get along with my family (majorly important) and with my friends, not be a smoker or alcoholic or drug addict, not be a health freak, like playing Lego games, like the xBox, not be judgmental, not be a douche, and allow me enough wall/shelf space for all my posters/dvds and books.

So there you have it: if I could create the perfect man (or the perfect man for me), this is what he would be like.
Obviously I know that no one will ever be all these things, but I never once said this list was realistic, it's merely the ultimate level of boyfriend material EVER.

And hey, if any of you guys have any ideas for your perfect partner, either write them in a comment here or create your own blog (MELISSA).
