There is a man I wanted to find out more about.
He is a friend's friend who sometimes appears in one of our gatherings organised once a month. He just looks like someone lived next door, meaning he does not have a pair of Paul Newman's eyes or a body of Brad Pitt. However, for some reasons, I find him attractive. I guess it has something to do with his personality? To me, he is always warm to be with and he can easily light me up with just a smile.
But in fact, I think it has more to do with his appearance - he looks very clean and tidy. I really can't stand dirty people, not even if someone given me just a sense of untidiness when actually he is decent enough to shake hands with Angelina Jolie. I once dined with a friend who cleaned his mouth only at the end of the supper but not in the middle and I found his look, while eating, very unpleasant. And someone who rubbed their used tissue papers in one of their palms like a ready-to-throw-away rubbish is no good either. But this man just pays much attention to his personal hygiene and that's why I like him. He may wear the same coat every so often, but it always looks clean. He may not clean his hands everytime before dinner but he does not have long fingernails and his fingers are always clean too.
Although I understand that the level of one's cleanliness shouldn't be the only angle of judging one's true character, and it certainly shouldn't be the basis of a relationship, it's a big deal to me.
First of all, I wouldn't even think about going out with him if his clothes are ragged or his face is oily. Even I did so, I don't see I will agree with another out if he splashed some soup on the table or used again the napkin that he just dropped on the floor. Whatever situation, it's hard to believe dining out with your lover in a fancy restaurant where chandeliers are on top of you and roses are at your side while he polished his fork with one of his sleeves. So this man has just passed one of the most difficult tests that I have always given to my opposite sex. But for the rest of him, as I said in the beginning, I have to find out.
