LOL, I'm glad you realize that "the list" changes. Speaking as a wholesome, down to earth woman who is from a "good family background," I'm not picking on you, I just see it from the other side. I think a man is entitled to any list he wants, but I also think it'd be a shame if someone I was totally compatible with walked away from me because he found out I have a tattoo. The fact that I have one is minor compared to the fact that it's tasteful and discrete. Or if a man dumped me because I had something stronger than a wine cooler. I think the fact that I can drink while still maintaining myself as a lady in public is more important than what's in the cup. I just hope that, when you meet someone you truly like, you don't let go of that good woman over something much smaller than the big picture. If you can do that, while still maintaing "the list," then have at it.

CG, you make a great point, but at the same time there's just some things that I can't deal with no matter how nice the woman is. Hard liquor and tattoos are just two of the things that don't fit what I like. Of course she's not perfect, but neither am I, but some things I would just rather do without.
