“Tall, dark, and handsome.” “Smart, funny, and understands what I do for a living.” “Has a good disposition in life, isn’t afraid to try new things.” These aren’t dating site classifieds, rather some answers we get when we pose this question to our girl friends: “What’s your idea of The One?”

And how about boys? You prolly think they can get it on with just any girl (especially one in a skirt that hangs above her knees). After all, they’re the ones who make the first move, and we’re the one who does the waiting. Hooking up seems like no mean feat for men.

Right…….and WRONG. Though the courtship ball is in their hands, i guess it doesn’t really mean they don’t do spot check among girls. Right boys? In their minds, AND HEARTS, there is always that special place meant for The One.

(From the points of view of a Man)

THE WHO?

The One could be the standout girl who makes them fall to their knees, who tames their wild side, and in most cases, the one they’re most careful to have sex with. It could be because she’s that girl whom they take seriously, or value too highly to lose to recklessness.

Most guys admit that while chick-hunting is fun, it gets tiring at some point. Time comes when they prefer an hour’s worth of good conversation to a half a day of hardcore romping. That’s where The One comes in.

UNDER PRESSURE

Peer pressure can also contribute to their frantic search for The One. When the boys in the group start finding their own relationships, the Saturday night trips to the bar become few and far between. That’s when they realize it’s lonely to be alone, and seek a steady partner of their own. Right gentlemen?

SEARCHING SPORT

A girlfriend once said that most guys, in search for The One, end up jumping from one girl to another. Good logic she’s got, but after giving a deeper thought and survey, here’s a male defense: “We jump from one relationship when we know it’s not the right one. We stop the “jumping” when we’ve found The One. Like ladies, we’re faced with what-ifs like What if my girlfriend’s best friend were the one meant for me? Or What if I don’t ever meet The One?”

SAME BOAT

Ladies and gentlemen, men and women at some point are looking for the same thing. While girls are away and dream about The One, men date and try to meet her. While women make a mistake and get their hearts broken, men miss the mark and break hearts or get their hearts broken, too. Meeting the perfect match is something both men and women want. Men understand that Ms. Wrong could be someone else’s Ms. Right, so up until they find their version of the latter, men must keep looking.
