Buzzfeed posted a great list from Tiny Cartridge of “Boyfriend Criteria,” including the usual “smart,” “cute,” “funny,” and the more unusual like “did not pick Charmander as first Pokémon.” There’s also a list of pluses (“glasses,” “good shoes,” “good tattoo”) and minuses (“annoying,” “too tight pants,” “think you’re sooo smart”). Since I’m getting married in three days (!!!), the list got me thinking about my “husband criteria” and how well my fiancé fits my list. After the jump, see how he does.
Husband Criteria Checklist
