I love magazines; for the longest time, I really wanted to work for one (yes, I legitimately wanted Anne Hathaway's job in "Devil Wears Prada" incessantly ringing cell phone and all). Any casual women's magazine reader knows the arbitrary "100 Ways to [insert something about your body, job, sex, or hair here]" list.
Well, Glamour's blog "Single-ish" has made a list I actually can agree with. It's titled: 11 Things Every Girl Should Hold Out For
Without going overboard on personal details, my dating track record isn't anything to write home about (which is probably why my grandpa asks me all the time "Have you found Mr. Right yet?"). I've had some serious crushes, some crushes I look back on and wonder "why?" and once, I was lucky enough to find a guy who I think, really cared for me because of the person I am. It didn't work out, which is ok, but it was a pretty incredible feeling. Looking at this list, there are the requiste "someone who makes you laugh" or " a guy you respect" but there are some others, "a guy who agrees with you about travel" or "a guy who will attend your lame things" that maybe aren't always thrown in the mix.
For me, the #1 reason "someone who sees you the way you want to be seen" is a really important one that I'm not sure every girl really considers. Because, while your siginficant other may think you're beautiful, funny, and love you for your compassionate nature, you may really value your intelligence. If he doesn't consider you very smart, then he isn't seeing the real "you". He doesn't have to love you for the same reasons YOU love you, but if you think you can win a Nobel Prize and he doesn't even think you can finish an easy level Sudoku by yourself, I think some re-evaluation may be in order!
