Just floating thoughts in my head of what makes a man sexy (to a single mom, and therefore eventually to all women because most of us will be mothers). This man, by the way, is a figment of my imagination. And while I have dated different men who possessed at least one or more of these qualities I have yet to find the entire package.
But there’s definitely still hope – major hope! I’ll never lose that. If I compared this to my Sexy list pre-Benjamin days I think there would have been some big differences.
So here goes…
My Top 10 Things that Make a Man Sexy
1. The sight of him doing the dishes, sweeping the floor or mopping. Seriously, works like a charm.
2. Even better, him repairing broken things around the house or assembling Christmas toys or new furniture without complaint.
3. Making me laugh.
4. The simple worn flannel shirt never fails.
5. Boxer briefs or boxer shorts – NOT tightie whities (this, I believe, is universal).
6. Picking up the check but having the confidence to let me grab it every once in a while.
7. Creative play ideas for kids (this is THE real winner).
8. Ability to express emotion and feelings without losing his cool.
9. Just a subtle splash of cologne (don’t kill me please).
It’s not easy to meet good men, especially for busy single moms.
I barely have time to shower, let alone go man hunting. We can’t go out three nights a week like our childless counter parts and if we do meet a man in the coffee shop, at the park or on a fluke night out we usually have to wait at least one week before we can squeeze in a date.
A single mom, so desperate for a “prince charming” (her words) is actually auctioning herself and her home off on eBay and Craigslist. The price? $500,000. Deven Trabosh, 42, has two daughters ages 14 and 21. After years of being single she’s thrown in the towel and has decided to sell herself, a bonus to buying her house in Florida.
“I’m struggling…I don’t want to lose my house and I want to find somebody. So I came up with this dream plan because I’ve always dreamt about being a fairytale princess,” she says. [click to continue…]
