I am sure your list and mine would match up pretty well when it came to the perfect women to spend my life with. However, I am not in the "market" for a girl that I want to spend the rest of my life with, so at this moment in time, she would be "miss right now" She would be fun to say the least. Maybe a bit much...Any way people, we are getting WAY Off Topic! I kid, I kid.
