| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/29/2007 10:55:13 PM | | I am here today to say that the Perfect Mate does not exist. I mean seriously everyone has flaws and each person needs to realize that and accpect it but no one ever does. Its like people believe that the grass is greener on the other side till they get there. But once its gone they want it all over again. What the hell the deal? I mean can anyone seriously tell me what the deal is. | |

| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/29/2007 11:03:02 PM | | The grass is greener on the other side, because that grass is over a leaking septic tank and fertilized by sh*t. | |

| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/29/2007 11:04:43 PM | [edit] ^^^ dammit somebody beat me to the septic tank joke
Its like people believe that the grass is greener on the other side till they get there. Noooooo. The grass is always greenest over the septic tank.
I mean can anyone seriously tell me what the deal is. Probably not 
But, alot of people don't socialize much in the traditional sense. Instead, they sit at home in the dark, whining about being lonely, and idealizing "perfection", while not realizing the imperfections of themselves. | |
|
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/29/2007 11:05:30 PM | | Have to agree that perfect does not exist. I do think that when people say they're looking for their 'perfect mate' they really mean they're looking for the best possible mate for them. | |
|
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/29/2007 11:25:54 PM | | There could be a perfect mate out there for you. Unfortunately, your paths might never cross. | |
|
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/29/2007 11:29:41 PM | its that whole 'master race' thing by hitler started it all.
what is right for me is not right for someone else. i do tend to want the athletic male with light eyes, nice tan and brown hair. college degree, good social skills. i don't want to share my genes with just anyone. but i ain't no hitler either. | |
|
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/29/2007 11:31:21 PM | | As for myself I am not worried about meeting the perfect mate for me because I know I am not perfect and I do not want someone who is perfect. Personally I want someone who has flaws and for that person to know and accept my flaws. | |
|
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/29/2007 11:34:30 PM | i have one thing about me that others might find annoying, i don't want to be nagged about changing it. i don't think its a flaw either...but everyone else does. the thing is this flaw works for me and protects me so that is one reason i am against taking crap for it from other people.
in fact i don't want to be nagged or molded into someone else's idea of perfection. on the whole i consider myself to be pretty perfect if i do say so myself. if someone wants to make improvements upon that they are making me their enemy. if a person is that difficult to please they have serious mental issues. i just might have to find someone to put them under the surgery knife and have the rest of them circumcised, best to cut away all of it if that will help things, if you get my drift. or i might suggest they have an enlargement of their organ because it just isn't big enough according to the standard criteria i have decided to set. is there surgery for enlarging that male member?

| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/29/2007 11:37:22 PM | Oh they do. But you have to be able to love the humanity of imperfection.
My partner's not perfect and nor am I, we're both quite flawed, quirky, awkward... But we're perfect for each other, finding each others flaws to be opportunities to love more.
Perfectly imperfect, I call it. Perfection is to be on a journey of learning and growing as a person. As a static ideal, it s not something that any of us could even define, because as we learn more our ideals develop. | |

| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/29/2007 11:38:17 PM | no such thing as a perfect mate? no such thing as perfection?
quick someone alert the presses!!! thanks captain obvious!
glad you realized it though girl, some ppl just don't get it do they? good attitude you have for dating, you'll be snatched up before too long! | |
|
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/30/2007 6:57:57 AM | Your mate is perfect for you when you see their imperfections as part of what makes them, "them".
As far as people bailing on imperfect mates to find yet another imperfect mate... well, I kind of liken that to the story of the Chinese worry tree. You get to exchange your current worries and pick a different set of worries from the tree. Change is as good as a rest.... lol | |

Personally I want someone who has flaws and for that person to know and accept my flaws.
and that would make him 'perfect for you' :-) | |

But once its gone they want it all over again. What the hell the deal? I mean can anyone seriously tell me what the deal is. That is a hard one, would they admit to it? I am not to sure about that one, it's usually masked so well, the regret I mean. | |
|
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/30/2007 7:45:36 AM | .. But the perfect mate DOES exist - i'm over here!  | |
|
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/30/2007 9:30:43 AM | | I don't know about that, saying that "people have flaws", yes, but isn't due to our flaws that make us able to find a perfect mate? Often what a woman will consider her flaws I will find charming and endearing about her. Therefore, my perfect mate is flawed, and I would have her no other way. | |
|
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/30/2007 9:34:25 AM | | I think its cause a lot of people have the 'what if?' syndrome! gotta try to live now and see what you can do with what you have, easy to say, harder to do xx | |
|
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/30/2007 11:23:45 AM | | To find someone "Perfect" does not exist..w/o flaws ect..to find someone Perfect for you, may happen..I don't look for perfection in a potential mate...the way I see it if I love him and he loves me..in my eyes he is Perfect in everyway flaws and all...JMO. | |
|
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/30/2007 11:36:12 AM | It probably is too much to ask, but wouldn't it be great to find someone who finds our flaws adorable? Someone who will roll their eyes when we get all worked up about something and help up through it?
There isn't anyone out there without flaws, even though many might think they are perfect. Living with a perfect person would be like living with a robot. Yuk! | |
|
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/30/2007 11:48:19 AM | Imagine what it would be like being with someone who was "PERFECT" what fun would that be? What would your conversations be like? What would you do for fun? How boring would it be to be with someone who you clicked with on everything.
I think the best relationships are with people that you have a lot in common with, but enough differences to keep it interesting. The trick is not being so set in your ways as to not see someone elses point of view. A great relationship is one where there is understanding and comprimise. | |

Excellent post young lady. I wholeheartedly agree, with 2 amendments" A) I hope neither person has serious flaws like drugs, alcholism, real lieing, etc and B) watch out for those people who dont think they have any flaws and can rarely or never compromise, apologize, or discuss issues. Hopefully each of us knows our downside and weakness, and we are striving for progress not perfection. If you dont know what your problems/flaws are in life, get honest and get busy with your side of the street before taking another hostage, or getting someone pregnant.
I love quirks and silly things most women do, like talking to their cat or using the Cable TV menu to find out whats on instead of flipping channels one by one like normal people, but I dont like flaws. | |

| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/30/2007 1:43:07 PM | | Being a perfect mate (for a specific person) and being a "perfect" person isn't the same thing. Nothing to do with flaws; we all have flaws. I believe some people find their perfect mates. | |

| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/30/2007 1:49:56 PM | Duh!! Messages theis short may not be posted so i need to say something to fill this space | |
|
| |
| Perfect Mate....... Posted: 7/30/2007 3:32:11 PM | I found the perfect guy for me... I think the deal is.. someone told you that you were looking for someone perfect.... you should be looking for someone perfect for you... in order to do that you first have to find yourself and your own life/ happiness....
then he will appear. | |
