I got nothing

No creative juices today or any comments to make.

So I leave you with a thought, based on some things I have seen/heard lately:

"The quest to find a perfect person is guaranteed to leave you lonely and confused as to why Mr. Right isn't out there."

Discuss.

Given my post with the link to law school inflating grades, I think your statement no longer applies. Perfection is now possible.

I tend to like the imperfect ones. Too imperfect. Problems, issues, douche bags, etc.

Relationships that succeed over time are an unending series of relentless compromises. That's not a bad thing, but the realization (and acceptance) of this doesn't come naturally. Most people are in love with the idea of someone instead of being in love with someone they know.

I wouldn't say, "compromises."

Far more important are Communication, Communication, and don't forget Communication. ^_^

With that as the foundation, you can both help each other grow.

"Perfection" -- I think the idea is deeply wired within us and is the principal fuel for romance. So it's not bad per se.

It's bad when not balanced by wisdom.

Or, as a wise friend once phrased it, "The Ideal of True Love is really about projecting one's one fantasies onto a (virtually total) stranger and expecting the flesh-and-blood person to be, or become over time that fantasy."
