I wouldn't mind ending up single as long as I can be more adventurous and take advantage of things like traveling (which is hard to when settled down). I can take my time. I'm happy being single. People often think that I'll never find the person for me because my problem is that I am very picky of whom I want to spend the rest of my life with.
I want to make make sure I end up with the best possible wife EVER so that my babies will be very damn awesome in every way.
Hormone-wise, I have good control, so I think being seduced or forced into marriage, or ending up with someone of poor quality is something that wont work on me (or isn't likely to happen). I'm 21, very independent, and always working towards improvement.
Now here's the kicker: as a person who is always looking to improve, I would require my future spouse to do the same... This means she has to at least try being athletic in some way instead of being a fatty. The reason for this is more than just external; it shows uncommon traits that she is not willing to let comfort sabotage her reality (by becoming fat). I personally see this trait useful in many ways, because I can learn from her, and she can learn from me. In other words, I look for internal quality that'll transcend into the external. I won't settle for less.
My belief is that in improving myself up to a certain point, I'll be able to deserve (or attract?) someone with similar values who wouldn't settle for a different guy who doesn't have those values.
Does anyone here think the same way as I do? How about the opposite? I'd like to hear what you think.
