Mates....

What is the perfect mate? Do they really exist? I don't think there is a such thing as a perfect mate. I think that we find people that we are attracted to and have something in common with, and work from there. People have the misconception that they can change people, and make them into what they want them to be. Big Mistake! We have to learn to look for those qualities BEFORE we hook up. We're not Potters and people aren't clay!

Through life's Ups and Downs we learn to be better people. As Musiq says,"Your experiences enhance your character." After loving...losing love...and loving again, what have you learned? Does it make you look closer at the new people you meet?

What qualities must a potential(or existing) mate possess for you?
1.Physical
2.Mental
3.Emotional
4.Intellectual

For me...
1)Physical - Taller than I am, clean cut, presentable MOST of the time. Sexy! I really have no choice when it comes to complexion. I am fair skinned, but I like them in all shades of brown.

2)Mental- Mentally stable w/a strong mind. ( I don't need any stalkers). As my grandmother used to say, I was born with the gift of Goodbye. When people are no longer in my life, I realize it is for a reason, and I let them go with no regrets.

3)Emotional- Is not afraid to express himself. Loveable.

4)Intellectual- Can hold his own in a conversation. Motivated. Open to learning new things.

What other things must a mate have for you? Is there something you would like to change about the person that you are with? What are your thoughts?
