What I Deserve

A year and a half ago I made a list of what I wanted in a woman. What would Mrs. Ron 2.0 have that I wanted and deserved. I was thinking this weekend about re-writing the list, starting over, but when I read the original list I realized that there was nothing to change. So here’s the original list:

1. She must have a driver’s license.
2. She must have nearly all her teeth or some really good bridgework.
3. She must not have a jail record (unless it’s for peaceful activism.)
4. She must not be a racist, elitist, or act superior.
5. She must be honest.
6. She must share my high moral and ethical position.

10. She must be willing to share her hobbies with me or tolerate my interest in them.

14. She must enjoy lying under the night sky and staring at the stars.
15. She must be well-read.
16. She must be able to go out and have a good time with my friends.
17. She must be able to go out and have a good time with HER friends.
18. She must be able to enjoy quiet evening at home.
19. She must like cuddling.
20. She must be willing to give space when I need it.
21. She must be willing to tell me when she needs space.
22. She must like sex. A lot.
23. She must not be closed or unwilling to work through issues with me.
24. She must be willing to give affection.
25. She must be willing to receive affection.
26. She must be verbally intimate.
27. She must have dreams of her own.
28. She must have hobbies and interests of her own.
