Oh NO!

After watching a recent Parks and Rec <3, I decided to create my own “Oh no” list, and add an “oh yes” one as well.  

Oh no

Crocs

Wearing your pants where your underwear shows – what would your mama say?

Playing video games more than 4 hours a week

Pajama pants in public – there’s a place for those - HOME

Skinny jeans – if I can wear ‘em, you shouldn’t

Arrogance

Games – there was a time and place for those – middle school

Stickers and tags on clothing.  They are almost as annoying as clothes with blaring logo’s.  For example: most any shirt from Abercrombie.

Getting your mom to do your laundry.  Let’s keep it movin’.

Inability to listen.  To truly be able to hear someone is an art.
Smoking.
I thought we were too old for me to list this, but apparently we are not.  Getting your friend to tell a girl's friend to tell that girl that you like her.

Oh yes

Passion for something.  Many things, hopefully. Social and economic justice, career, learning, spirituality, etc.

Basic. Hygiene. Soap and deodorant should be a vital part of any man’s daily routine.

A kind compassionate heart <3

Confidence.  Boys confuse this with arrogance.

Ability to work on your car – greased up outside under the hood of your Chevelle sun beaming down on your sweaty body.  Whoops!, I digress…

Independence

Ability to aid me in my computer needs, which believe me there are many.

INTELLIGENCE – shout-out to the smart men

The ability to make decent money.  Note the word ability.  If you are doing something for a noble cause for low wages, more power to you.  But you must possess the ability to recognize and achieve your potential.

Good manners.

Southern gentlemen :)
Intelligence and wit.  I love a man that can challenge me mentally.
A touch of sarcasm.

This list is by no means exhaustive, so please feel free to add any I missed!  Keep in mind, your list should be flexible.  The right guy can change the rule, or the right gal can change the guy ;-)
