Good Enough

So without going into the gory details about three years ago my little brother found himself single again.

He’s been dating but no one he really likes and there are not a plethora of women in the area to choose from. I’m proud of him for stepping out there into the wide world of women.

After him complaining to me that I’ve never set him up with anyone, I say enough is enough. So I signed him up for an on-line singles website. I spend about an hour a day scamming the site for girls that could potentially be “the one” it’s been a lot of fun, but I’ve only been looking for about a week. I’m about to take it one step further and advertise on my own sight but there are a few rules…we may sound shallow and close-minded, but that’s the way it is. The guy has a right to be picky…he’s been through enough.

His list

age  between 23-29

between 5′6 and 5′11  (he’s 6′3 and is slightly obsessed with having tall children)

beautiful

slender build

he says blond (but I’ve already swayed him on this one because there are some gorgeous brunettes out there!)

intelligent (schooling would be a plus)

comes from nice family

and if she comes from money that wouldn’t hurt.

My list

LDS and proud of it. (I don’t talk about my religion because it’s personal.)

must have a good maternal instinct.

Wants to have babies someday.

natural (meaning no orange skin and piles of make-up) 

honest

active

must have a good sense of humor

Really I’m sure we could go on an on. We are looking for a nice girl. If she’s divorced it’s alright. We are non-judgemental about that. If she comes with a child or two that might be alright as well. My brother will keep an open mind. The important thing here is that he finds someone that puts the spark back in his eye, someone that will give him something new to live for.

A little about Bro

He’s tall, with dark blond hair and blue eyes. He went to BYU-Hawaii and got his Master’s in Biochemistry and the University of Kentucky? is that the University in Lexington? Don’t quote me on the name of the school.

He is really into UFC I’m sorry to say. He knows I don’t condone that kind of sport. He has a great job and lives in the Seattle area. I’m not lying when I say he loves spending time with his nieces and nephews and they all adore him. He really wants kids of his own someday. He cooks, he cleans when his house gets dirty enough. He boxes. He snowboards and loves punk rock and hip hop. He loves to lift weights and is a great personal trainer. He has a very passionate personality as all my siblings do. My family loves to debate with one another, and sometimes we’re bad losers if it doesn’t go our way. Mellow people compliment our personalities well.

He just needs a girl who can reign him in a little.
I will say that whenever he has dated long term in the past he has been extremely kind and supportive of his significant other.

So someone out there must have a sister, cousin, friend, co-worker that will fit the bill.

Don’t be bitter if we reject some offers. That is part of the rules.

And don’t try to hook him up with anyone that is mental unstable. I think that goes without saying. Since he lives in my neighborhood, I don’t want any stalker types hanging around.

Final here is a photo for your viewing pleasure…

Sorry that’s the only picture I have close enough of his face. I don’t take many pictures of my siblings.

Here’s one at the local science center. He came with the kids and I. You can get an idea of his size.

Cute right? I’m trying to be objective.

But again, I don’t want any hate mail getting mad because our lists are exclusive. Use your best judgement as a mom, or sister or friend. If she is an amazing girl and doesn’t fit all the criteria, drop me a note. I’ll interview her. There is no harm in trying. This is supposed to be fun and I don’t want any “The Bachelor” drama on this blog!
