"Ron Swanson, Will You Marry Me?"

Top 20 reasons to want to marry the great Swanson.

"Ron Swanson, Will You Marry Me?"

In a world where hipsters (and men with longer hair than me) run amuck, it's difficult to find a man. No, I'm not talking about a boy. I'm talking about a real man. A man's man. A man who is not ashamed of his carnivorous diet nor his hatred for overcontrolling strong central governments. A man who enjoys woodworking and the solitude of his own company. After a long tedious search, I found the epitome of what a man should be via the fabulous NBC show, "Parks and Recreation." He goes by the name Ron Swanson. Ron is played by the fabulous Nick Offerman. So without further adieu, here are the top 20 reasons to want to marry the wonderful Ronald Ulysses Swanson.

1. He is an honest man.

2. You will never have to compete with his friends.

3. He is proud to be an American.

4. He is the owner of a fabulous head of hair.

5. His dance moves are straight fire. Everyone on the dance floor would be jealous of that fine specimen of a man.

6. He has a strong thirst for adventure.

7. He is not afraid to speak his mind.

8. He attempts to keep up with new music.

9. He is a dedicated worker.

10. An excellent boss.

11. He is good with his hands.

12. He understands the importance of a balanced diet.

13. He knows how to keep personal space.

14. He has a good relationship with his family.

15. Also, his overall health is outstanding.

16. He respects women and their role in society.

17. His mustache. It's glorious.

18. He's a libertarian.

19. He is in touch with his emotions.

20. His laugh is the best laugh in the entire world. It will make all your stress and sadness melt away.

If you haven't fallen in love with him yet, I highly suggest you stop what you are doing and watch "Parks and Recreation" on Netflix. America needs more men like Ron Swanson. Personally, the dating pool needs more men like him. He is a great "template" for what a man should be.

By the way, Nick Offerman, if you are reading this... Do you have any sons?

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
