Husband Criteria
18 Jun
Inspired by this entry, I have come up with my own criteria in the search for my future husband:
- How tall are you? Are you going to be able to reach the kitchen cabinets I can’t?
- Beer or wine? Are you going to have a beer belly the size of a nine-month baby in 20 years?
- Cat or dog? If you like cats enough to want one when we move in together, you’re out.
- Are you afraid of bugs or mice or screwdrivers? I’m a-gonna need a real man.
- Are you willing to eat in dirty Chinatown restaurants with me? Are you willing to go to the real Chinatown with me (China)?
- Do you know what cuff links are? Are you going to embarrass me if I ever took you to a fancy event?
- How much sports/TV do you watch? If you’re going to be glued to the TV for all of basketball season, soccer season, and baseball season, forget about it.
- What kind of job security do you have? Will you be able to afford a mortgage with me in ten years?
But none of this applies if you are an Asian medical student. Mmm… My mommy would be proud.
Speaking of medical students, one of the boys in my teacher training class is super cute and has just graduated from med school. He’s teaching the MCAT/PCAT while I’m teaching the LSAT, so between us, we’ve got three professional careers covered (if we had kids, they’d be baby geniuses I’m sure). He’s not Asian though, but between an Asian pre-med student (my former selection pool) and a Caucasion med school graduate, I pick the latter.
hahah good points! I agree with some especially the beer and wine one.
Oh gosh, “a beer belly the size of a nine-month baby” is not a pretty picture…*shudders*
I like your criteria. Very realistic.
Eheh, I have an Asian med student, but the fact that he’s a med student doesn’t impress my parents anymore than my going to law school :P They’re rather open-minded and un-Asian about the whole thing!
You have an Asian med student? Why have I not heard about this before?? Your blog needs to be more dishy, girl!
Amen to those, I can’t help but agree with you. Especially those whole thing about bugs and mice. If my guy ever showed more fear than me when faced with a bug, I think I just might cry.
I do wish you the best! For some odd reason Caucasians are the most preferred within families (well, at least Mexican American families, like mine)…yes, I’m going out with a “Caucasian” but that word is in quotes because he was born in Poland…so does that make him European? I think so, and it sounds hot ;-D
In my dreams, the term “European” is reserved for smoldering hot, bare-chested Italians and Grecians. I love my Romans.
Ceecee I left my country just because I had enough of polish guys. They are way too boring for me, so it sounds funny/amazing too me that you find them exotic.
SassyGirl… european guys with your desription live only in southern countries the rest look competely different. Belive me and thank God! but Europeans are great, you should come here and pick one for your future husband!
