If a guy's gonna be with me, he sure as hell better not be a dumbass. I'm completely intolerant of people like my sister's current boyfriend who's just a pretty face and nothing else. The guy's dumb as a post, overly patriotic, homophobic, xenophobic...the list and litany could go on and on. I want someone who can hold a conversation on my level, dammit. Gimme a good debate. A man who can convincingly argue with me about ancient civilizations is damn sexy in my book.
I do NOT like smokers/excessive drinkers. Cigarette smoke gives me one hell of a headache, and while I drink a little bit, I do NOT want to be seen with someone who'll get falling-down drunk. This is why my Irish relatives embarass me and I make their lives miserable at the annual family reunion. Oh yeah, and my sister's boyfriend's a drunk too. We all know how much I like HIM, right?
He'd better be able to respect my personal space. I am NOT his possession, and I like my alone time, thanks. On the same token, he'd better not expect me to be overly submissive. Lauren is not a submissive girl.
Love me, love my cats. You don't like them, there's the door. My kitties are my babies, so if you're not a cat lover, piss off.
He'd better not pressure me for sex either, unless he LIKES getting a face full of claw-rings. He'll get it when I'm good and willing, dammit. He must also be able to accept my shounen-ai bent, and my anime/video-game fixation. Not to mention the fact that I'm morbid as all get-out, and tend to blast J-Rock loudly all day, especially when I'm pissed.
Looks...well, I wouldn't *mind* him being cute, but like I said, I don't want just a pretty face and an empty head.
So yeah. This is why I'll never have anyone. <p><div style="text-align:center">"Hey mother look at me,
I made my connection
As I'm steppin' into heaven
Hey, don't you pity me
I'll put on perfection
As I'm steppin' into heaven"
