Men are funny things.
I'll say it like this: they are like a box of chocolates. They come in all different sizes and you never know what you going to get until you bite into it. Something so decorative on the outside can taste so awful leaving you saying yuk! what flavour was that. I'll never try that again.
Now I am not speaking from a broken or bitter heart far from it. Just an observation of how we conclude on who fits our other half of life. I've come to realise that the very thing we want or look for in a partner could be a hindrance to what we really need. So I declare a day of liberation. Throw out the top ten lists and wipe the slate clean. I challenge you to work with a blank canvas. Start dating outside of your criteria. (In reason that is) I do not suggest that you start dating a tramp, a married man, or a man who has about ten different children to whom have all different mothers. I'm talking about the outside package. If you are like me the height thing is something that is in the top 3. Any man who even considers approaching me has to be at least 6'2. If you come close to my height without heels you are immediately disqualified. Now I am willing to let that go (I take a deep breath.) I will open applications to all nations, height and weight. Blank canvas!
I believe we can miss out on good relationships or friendships when we build it on the outside package. I know I sound a bit contradictory. But I still stand firm on drawing the line at personal hygiene. That is a complete disqualification. I don't care how fine or up in Holy Ghost he is. If he has bad body odour and he don't realise it. Then he’s got bigger problems then finding a woman.
So this season: it's about working with a blank canvas. He might not be all that and a bag of chips but he may have a personality that out shines his physical appearance. I am reminded that God looks in the heart of man and not on the outside appearance. If it’s working for Him then I think I’ll try it too.

Natasha,
I agree wholeheartedly. The outer appearance in a man is superficial. His heart is what counts most. I want the romance, everlasting love, a hard worker, someone who doesn’t sponge off what I have, but works toward building a future for us. Will he be there for me when I’m sick and I need him to take care for me? That’s what I’m looking for in a man. I pray there are still some good men out there. I don’t know… only God’s knows. In the meantime, I’m still looking. Oh, and he must smell good.

i totally agree with you both. just to remind you that roses are found in thorns therefore you have to be careful not to miss the blessing if they are not presented the way you would want to receive them.
mean while as you wait for Mr Right, be flexible to change as your ideas and opinions you've held from infancy could be challenged and you might need to ask the Holy Spirit to give you a teachable spirit in order not to miss a blessing.
