How I imagine my dream man
(as  the years go by)
	
	Age 22	Age 32	Age 42	Age 52	Age 62	Age 72	
1.	Good looking	Decent looking (not bald)	Not too ugly (bald is o.k.)	Keeps hair in ears and nose trimmed	Kids are not afraid of him	

He breathes
	
2.	Charming	Opens car door for me	Doesn’t drive before I sit	Doesn’t belch or scratch his crotch in public	Remembers where the bathroom is		
3.	Financially independent	Pays for my dinner	Pays for my dinner occasionally	Doesn’t borrow money too often	Paying his was isn’t too expensive		
4.	Listens attentively	Listens more than he talks	He nods when I speak	He doesn’t fall asleep when I air the room	He snores only a little		
5.	Clever	He laughs about my jokes	Remembers punch line of his jokes	Doesn’t tell same jokes too often in a row	He remembers why he laughs		
6.	In good shape	He carries groceries for me	Enough shape to move furniture	Enough shape to leave the couch on weekends	Enough shape to stand up by himself	
He doesn’t miss the toilet bowl	
7.	Dresses well	He owns at least one tie	His shirt covers his stomach	Wears mostly matching socks + clean T-shirt	He wears mostly normal clothes		
8.	Appreciates nice things	Appreciates home cooking	He buys champagne with a cork	Appreciates eating I front of  television	Appreciates soft cooked things		
9.	Gives nice surprises	He remembers anniversaries	Remembers to put toilet seat down	Remembers my name	Remembers where he left his teeth		
10.	Is a romantic lover	Is a romantic lover once a week	He shaves on weekends	He shaves occasionally on weekends	He remembers that it is weekend
