Describe the perfect girl or guy for you

With Anglo-Saxon I mean Old English. You know, the stuff they spoke before William the Conqueror.

J. Allen: when are you available? I'd like you to take me out on a date in that armour. Love the sword! I'm a philologist, specialising in Old English and Middle High German. I have a Middle Ages fetish...hence the avatar.

I can understand why. While Europe in the Middle Ages had it's fair share of troubles, it was also the age of gallantry, nobility, chivalry and honor.

I hate the word normal. People tried for the longest time to make me into that. I'm way more fond of being odd and a bit weird. Much more fun that way. All these "normal people clones" freak me out.

To be normal, is to be aligned with consumerism.

Another word for normal is "healthy".

Think about it.

Perfect guy for me:

6ft
Dark/Brown Hair
Strong Jawline
Winning Smile
Humble
Enjoys the simpler things in life
Confident, but not to the point of arrogance
Easy going (non-high maintenance)
Likes to 'snuggle'
Can cook
Has a witty, dry, humour.
Likes to rock climb.


Yep, this is why I will remain forever single...because I'm pretty sure what I've just described doesn't exist in nature...

Well it says Mr. on your name so sorry. But I fit that desciption quite close.
not 6FT, but am 5'9'
Brown hair-check
strong jawline-?
I have a cute smile as some girls have told me.
humble for the most point
I am no arrogant, but slightly confident
easy going-my middle names
Everything below that I fit into.

In another time, in another place...

Perfect people are boring. I'll take anyone who isn't a total asshole. Which narrows the list down considerably but things are working out for the moment anyway.

I'm fascinated by the fact that my girlfriend is not even close to what I'd consider my "perfect" match.

Physically, she's beautiful.

Emotionally, she's quite closed off at times. She's far from considerate or courteous in many situations (but then from what I've heard and experienced, that's quite normal for Albanians and she grew up there).

Our tastes in music, TV, film, etc, are rarely aligned. In fact, she absolutely loathes Doctor Who and Star Trek which are two of my favourites.

I used to be a serious/professional singer/songwriter and semi-serious writer and she loathes every artistic thing I've ever done. She's not really understanding or emotionally supportive. We fight frequently and get so angry with each other that we don't even have those great "make up" encounters.

Yet, I love her dearly and we've been together for almost five years. Go figure.

By the fact that it's so over-the-top obviously not true, and that Kestra is a sweet, wise person. And emotes turn biting sarcasm into playful teasing. When I'm playfully teasing, I use them. When I'm being sarcastically dry, I don't.

Besides, there's no reason to fight over Kestra. I've already got dibs.

yeah right I'm what, tenth on the list? . You've got too many women after you as is!

Hey, I can't help it if I'm popular with the ladies.

 

[melancholymecha]

I didnt read the whole thread (its huge)...
someone who will put up with my weirdness and social awkwardness...preferably a homebody (no clubs, parties, bars but museums, movies, cons, festivals is fine)
no slobs(Im a clean freak)
also Im asexual so sex cant be a big deal(heh right)...I guess Id need another asexual ...also in that case I guess the gender wouldnt matter.
I ideally prefer not to be n a relationship but as I get older the idea of being alone is starting to scare me.

 

[Nowhere Man]

dark skin, dark hair, bigg ass, big boobs, deaf, blind and mute.

 

[STR]

also Im asexual so sex cant be a big deal(heh right)...I guess Id need another asexual ...also in that case I guess the gender wouldnt matter.

Somebody hasn't met the right kind of person. Trust me, you get it right, or even close enough to spark the fire...game over. Well, not really game over, but you'll need to buy a new bed after you wear the current one out.


For me, perfection is decent looks (attraction is an on or off thing, so the exact requirement is "attractive enough"), understanding (my most recent ex could never look beyond her petty motivations, and assumed the rest of the world worked the same), and kindness (my time in retail sales made me allergic to rudeness).

 

[Quinton O'Connor]

I could list all sorts of things, but she's just gotta be a good woman. And no, I do not mean that in a sexist way; far, far from it. I mean it in a literal way.

Be a good person. The rest is either meant to be or otherwise.

What do you mean it is to be aligned with consumerism?

As to "healthy".. by that I assume you mean not with any disorders, anxieties etc.. that make life harder for a person. Correct me if you didn't mean that.

Now to me "normal" has some big limitations, because if you value it you are wary of doing/being outside of that. IME this actually becomes more of an issue as you get older than in youth when people usually focus on it. Sure in youth you have all the angst, the loneliness, the disgust at the status quo. But by the time you're in your 40's your oddities are SET and no one is thinking you might outgrow it and get with the program any more. Nope, you are fringe (at best) for better or worse for the rest of your life.

Rewording an article I read online:

Contemporary youth culture is a commercial form of anti-intellectualism orienting adherents to consumerism. The advertising business has transformed adolescents’ language, thought, and action (cliques, fashion, fads) into commodities, and thus engendered a generation of intellectually disengaged people, uninterested in progressing to adulthood.

Youth subculture originated from the post Second World War economic prosperity allowing adolescents to work and have a discretionary income, whilst still dependent upon parents. In turn, it is argued that the newfound economic power of adolescents has allowed business to sell them popularity — an identity as a young person — something that once was not for sale, but self-created. Youth culture is likened to an occupation permitting little time for education and intellectual interests.

I'm one of the lucky ones. If in my younger days I'd made a list of what I wanted (I didn't by the way) I'm sure my wife would tick every box:

Smart
Beautiful (breathtakingly so, I might add)
Great sense of humour
Liberal minded
Sexy as hell

I don't think a guy can get much luckier than I've been. She even indulges my Apple fetish. Keep looking folks. Your someone is out there.

My perfect girl.....I'd have to say
Bailey Jaye.

She's the type of girl I'd deport my grand mother to get (hey, she wants to go back home to the old country, anyhow)

With Anglo-Saxon I mean Old English. You know, the stuff they spoke before William the Conqueror.

J. Allen: when are you available? I'd like you to take me out on a date in that armour. Love the sword! I'm a philologist, specialising in Old English and Middle High German. I have a Middle Ages fetish...hence the avatar.

I can understand why. While Europe in the Middle Ages had it's fair share of troubles, it was also the age of gallantry, nobility, chivalry and honor.

Except for the burning of witches, raping, pillaging and religious wars.

Men only had all that "gallantry, nobility, chivalry and honor" for the upper class women, and then most likely only if she or her father had some power over them. This really had nothing to do with the common people.

Interesting. That would certainly explain a lot.

 

[Jadzia]

As many of these young people have grown up, that underlying idea of purchasing identity and popularity can remain ingrained within them, and it's interesting to wonder if it has in fact permeated society enough to have redefined what is normal.

We can see the effects in topics in adult conversation. At one time it was mostly current affairs, relationships, art and science. Whereas now a lot of adult conversation is inseparable from consumerism: fashion, television programmes, celebrity, movies, internet, mobile phones and other portable electronics.

If you don't know much about these things, you will become irrelevant in conversations about them, and what is at stake is your popularity in your peer group.

So I think it's no coincidence that peer groups are segregating: We have chavs, geeks, emos, etc.
