The List: Top 50 Things

In February I was challenged to come up with an extremely detailed list of EVERYTHING I had to have in a guy. This was the most detailed list ever. I included things from "he has to be a man" to "he can't drive a mini-van," to "brown eyes," to "he will not put little cling-on family people on his car." I believe I was well over 220 specific items. No joke.  Since then my "criteria" has changed a little. Although there are extra things that I desire, I have narrowed "The List" to the Top 50 Things! So, for all you girls out there who are not exactly sure what YOU want, I am going to share my list with you. I will also include "The Extras" as an added bonus. (P.S.- This list is not necessarily in any specific order.)
