First . . .
I looked over the job requirements and don't think I fully qualify for the job. Hell, you lost my young ass with requirement #2.

Agree with your list and
Add:
Intelligent: can speak on numerous subjects
Passionate: about something that affects the Black community
Involved: in something that affect the Black community
Motivated: a self starter. Don't be waiting for me to do stuff!!
And (*ahem*)I would have to raise that age requirement LOL
At 8:13 PM, Organized Noise said…
@ onefromphilly . . . are you serious. I'm having a hard enough time with Phoenix's age requirement and you want to raise it. **shaking head**
At 7:41 AM, Deepak Gopi said…
May all your wishes be fullfilled
At 8:51 AM, onefromphilly said…
@ Organized
I'm a tad bit older than all y'all. BUT if properly motivated I could lower that age requirement. *wink*
At 9:43 AM, Phoenix said…
@ ONoise - Of cousr if the right guy came along and he was younger than the age requirement I could be persuaded to change that requirement. Umm are you applying? LOL
@ RD - I'd like to hear your add ons. I know they will be good.
@ Onefrom Philly - Yeah I like your four. I'll have to use them as well. :-)
@ Deepak - thanks for stopping by.

Lists are good to have. You know what you want and are that much more able to identify it now. :-)
At 3:27 PM, Phoenix said…
@BZ - yeah I like lists for the most part until I loose them and forget what was on them.
@ Scrivo - I didn't say he had to go to church , just not be opposed to going if I ask him to come everynow and then (Xmas, Mother's day, Easter, etc.) (wink wink)
At 3:39 PM, Phoenix said…
@ RMack - Hmmmmm. reas my response to ON. I'm not oppose to changing the age requirement for the "right" guy. (wink wink) Are you applying?
At 5:14 PM, Knockout Zed said…
I'm everything you listed. Except for about 14 or 15 of 'em.
Being attractive is overrated!
KZ
At 5:22 PM, Phoenix said…
@ Zed - I said "attractive to me" what I find attractive, others may not. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
At 8:35 PM, Organized Noise said…

Oh dayummmmm, I was good til I got to the part about being a remote hog. I can't even front on that one, especially when there's a sporting event on. Hell, that doesn't really matter either cuz ESPN is on 24/7.
At 10:49 PM, Phoenix said…
@ Iron- wow I didn't realize that I had 30 items down there. but now that you mentioned the 3 S's make that 33. lol
@ GMo - I guess we would have to have separate TV's. (wink, grin)
At 2:25 AM, A.u.n.t. Jackie said…
umm, i like the idea of naming what you want, i dunno if my list would be complete if he didn't like to attend football games and concerts though!
At 10:17 AM, Phoenix said…
@ Miss Amad - I like going to concert and football games. If he didn't I'd leave his ass right at home. I've been know to go places by myself.
At 10:31 AM, ChezNiki said…
WANTED: Young man single and free/Experience in love preferred/But will except a young trainee/Oooh/Gonna put it in the Want Ads...
You old enough to remember that song, right?
Your list sounds good. I would co-sign...except I prefer lighter(I guess opposites attract)29-41 and 6'0" or better and I have a weight requirement. He should be over 200 lbs, the taller the heavier. I will feed him well, but we have to start at a decent weight or he wont even look like he has a woman!
LOL
Good Post
At 9:19 PM, Organized Noise said…
@ phoenix . . . we've already gone to one concert together (New Jack Swing), although not really together. That should count for something ;-)
@ chez niki . . . that's from "Want Ads". I'm only 28 and I remember that song. Then again, it helps that Mary, Mary of all groups sampled it.
Hell, I don't meet your age requirement either.
At 7:08 PM, Phoenix said…
@ Org. Noise - when are we going to our next concert?
