"Let's stay inside because it's freaking hot outside"or "I don't take public transport because they're too crowded and I hate standing" are MAJOR turn-offs.
3) He has to be physically pleasing on the eye
Yes you heard it right. Neatly-groomed hair and a clean, well-shaved face can never go wrong. Choice of fashion must not be too geeky or too sloppy. He doesn't have to look or dress like a superstar, but at least he has to pay attention to his clothes and make the effort to look good.
4) He has to be confident
Nobody likes a guy with a low self-image. NOBODY.
5) He has to like exercising
Well-built and athletic is optional, but at least he has to be of an average built. Overweight or overly-skinny people scare others off. I said exercise; this does not necessarily mean going to the gym.
6) He has to like fruits and vegetables
Admit it. They are healthier and environmentally friendlier. But the main reason of this is to indicate that he is flexible towards luxury. No meat, no problem.
7) He must not be a momma-boy
Making decisions must be his cup of tea. He has to take charge and show his dominance. After all, he is going to be the breadwinner and the leader of the family.
8) He must be able to live a simple life
I don't feel comfortable with branded bags, clothes, zillion cars, and huge houses. You have to agree that the more money you have, the more complicated your life will get. Able to keep within what are necessary is more than a plus point. Of course, occasional treats is considered a necessity.
9) He has to be ingenious
He can be less educated than me. In fact, I don't care about education. What do you learn in school anyway? I hate to go to school myself. However, if he has the ability to think fast complemented with quick motor skills, I won't ask for more.
10) He has to be willing and know how to do the housework
Don't get me wrong. I WILL do the housework. I will clean, I will cook and I will iron. But sometimes it is just beyond our control to let the wife solely do the housework. Sometimes she needs to work overtime or travel overseas. Therefore, he needs to know how to take care of the house. And don't tell me he can't fix the tap. He is the first-rescuer for any mechanical disaster.
11) He has to have a great sense of humour
I hate guys who are too serious. Having a little laugh will not kill.
12) My parents and family members have to love him
Religion, Respect, and Courtesy. 'Nuff said.
--------------------------------------
Baby, so far you have scored high distinctions in 11 out of 12 points. Time to impress my parents, honey. Don't let your nationality and education pull you down. They shouldn't question your citizenship and discriminate in the first place. I know with all my heart that you will be able to prove them wrong. Your heart is very sincere and pure and I have a complete faith in you. I have chosen you and not once I've regretted that decision. I love you and I always do.
