Joie de vivre

Posted on March 19, 2022June 26, 2022 by Steve Ainslie

In one of my dating apps, I am promoted to enter the “Most Important Thing I Want In A Woman”. Just one? At first, I had a laundry list of attributes. Then I narrowed this down to a paragraph description. I spoke about love, nature, commitment, dogs, fitness and passion.

Today, I deleted it and put “Joie de vivre“.

definition: exuberant enjoyment of life (Oxford Dictionary

I think that covers it.

As for everything else I want in a woman, some of those characteristics will be evident from their pictures and profile. Some will be evident upon meeting. Some will reveal themselves only in time.

But if both of us bring joie de vivre, we will be able to enjoy each other’s company while we figure the rest of it out.
