This is from The Sweet Potato Queens' Book of Love by Jill Connor Brown, and was originally titled "the five men you must have in your life at all times," but personally I think everyone would benefit from having these people in their lives no matter what their gender.
- someone who can fix things
- someone you can dance with
- someone who can pay for things
- someone you can talk to
- someone to have great sex with
They also note that, although one person may have more than one of these qualities, it is pretty much impossible to find all five of them in a single person.
(IWhoSawTheFace suggests adding "someone who can make you laugh." Personally I think that's implicit in "someone you can talk to" -- who wants serious conversation all the time?) |
