Deep Thoughts

Because I'm in the middle of writing my autobiography for class and I started thinking about this when I was having my late night breakfast.

I started this category on my phone entitled blog topics because I always think of something so random to talk about with someone but when I'm not around anybody, I want to be able to save it and either talk about it with someone or obviously just blog about it. By this, apparently I haven't found anyone (nearby) who's worth talking about this with so here it goes.

topic: finding that someone who fits your preference.

I wonder if anyone has ever considered dating someone who is just as similar to how they are or whether or not people have stopped and realized that people's preferences for their boyfriend or girlfriend is a reflection on the person's self esteem or just how they view themselves. Meaning whether or not the person who's describing the person they want to date sees him or herself as this perfect person who they want to be with. So let's start with me for the best example (are your ready?).

So I think it's hot if the person I am with is athletic, smart, has a musical talent, knowledge of some studio art, aware of sciences, can talk about philosophy without getting tied up with any religious affiliations (at this point I feel like I can just date anyone who has completed their GE requirements for college lol), has an open sense of humor, and a kind heart (it'll get more elaborate). He should know the value of hard work and be genuine about his accomplishments and abilities. He should be considerate of others' thoughts and be kind to those of a different nature without discrimating them or treating them any differently. He should be proud of his culture or at least be respectful of it being someone else's culture without putting it down if he doesn't necessarily agree with it.

So, do I think that my expectations of a person reflects my own personality and traits? Some of it up until the second paragraph. I feel that I want someone who can match my abilities in the first paragraph and be better than me in the second paragraph but I don't really think I'm the perfect person to really date myself... dating someone who's a complete mirror image of you is definitely not something most people look forward to. It kills the mystery in getting to know one person and it can definitely lead to an uncomfortable living situation but anyway.

anyway, the point of this point was to really emphasize that people spend their whole life trying to find this perfect person when i think that they could've really sat around and better themselves to FIT this model of a perfect person. yeah... I rather better myself before i get with anyone else and have to worry about them when i can't even control my own behaviors and attitude.

the end. =)
