Haha, someone else mentioned that in my original entry. The way I see it, there's a difference between "losing your temper" and "getting angry" - it's a matter of degree. Everyone gets a little miffed once in awhile, but I know plenty of women who have never lost their temper (at least that I've seen).

I agree with you; that's why I'm open to changes in this list. Seriously though, I've found that if I'm not careful, I become attracted to women who don't necessarily have long-term potential. Flings aren't really my thing.

Actually, a part of me hopes that she is "more perfect" than I am (in some aspects) so that she can help me grow in those areas; similarly, I will strive to be as "perfect" as possible in my strong areas so that I can help her grow. This is where that first item comes in - complement my strengths and pinpoint my weaknesses.

Sure, that'd be great. E-mail, PM, whatever is most convenient for you.

See my response to songwriter. I believe that, ideally, we would complement each others' strengths and be able to pinpoint our weaknesses so we can grow in those areas together.

Perfection lies in being imperfect!

True, true, and true. This is my definition of perfection - yours may be entirely different.
