Just the nature/premise of the article pisses me off.
Guys aren’t perfect. Oh woe is me, I won’t get a guy there’s nothing wrong with. I’ll have to SETTLE.
Gals, EVERYONE settles. You aren’t perfect either. The whole idea of this article is overly self-involved, oh my, how does this affect ME? What a narcissistic way to waltz through life. Like you have to - sigh - resign yourself to settling for less than MR Perfect. Mr. Perfect doesn’t exist. Neither are you Ms. Perfect. You’re setting yourself up for disappointment. Our culture is programming people to think they can have, even DESERVE, to have it all, and if you don’t, you’re being shafted somehow.
The marriage isn’t going smoothly? Divorce his butt. Take half his stuff, find a better guy. You deserve it. The Sharper Image nose trimmer doesn’t catch every last hair up there? Obviously you made a mistake selecting your significant other. Time to go.
If men bitched about all the things that are “wrong” with their women the way women do, or kept track of all their shortcomings in their heads to bring up at future arguments, nobody would ever get married.
Good points. Girls today are extremely critical of the men in their lives.
I suspect that the views and attitudes of so many American women today are what has fueled the “mail order bride” trend, in which American men are wanting to marry women from other cultures. American women are agahst that men would want to go to the former Soviet Union or the Phillipines to find a wife, but growing numbers are doing so.
Nice post. Two thumbs up.
Right on Brother! A woman who thinks like this thinks her stuff doesn't stink, probably liberal too.
As a woman I agree with you. There is no perfect person ever. Too many women today want perfect and do employ a check list. Too many of them find themselves over 35 and still single. IMHO let the guy chase you for a while there is something to be said about allowing the man to be the hunter, it’s instinct.Enjoying the good traits and learning to overlook the not so good is the way to stay married for a long time.The trick is to identify what you can live with and overlook before getting married!
No matter how pretty she is, or how good in bed she is, some guy, out there somewhere, is tired of her shit...
