Saw this on one of the discussion boards I go to, posted by Azad. I searched for it to find the original author but couldn’t, at various places it says author unknown. Anyway, it is worth a read.
In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question......
"What kind of man are you looking for?"
She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye and asking. "Do you really want to know?"
Reluctantly, he said, "Yes."
She began to expound... As a woman in this day and age, I am in a position to ask a man what he can do for me that I can't do for myself. I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man. I am in the position to ask, "What can you bring to the table?"
The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money. She quickly corrected his thought and stated, "I am not referring to money. I need something more." I need a man who is striving for perfection in every aspect of life.
He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, and asked her to explain.
She said, "I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection mentally because I need conversation and mental stimulation. I don't need a simple-minded man. I am looking for someone who is striving for perfection spiritually because I don't need to be unequally yoked... believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster. I need a man who is striving for perfection financially because I don't need a financial burden. I am looking for someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded. I am looking for someone who I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him. I cannot be submissive to a man who isn't taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive...he just has to be worthy. God made woman to be a helpmate for man. I can't help a man if he can't help himself." When she finished her spill, she looked at him. He sat there with a puzzled look on his face.
He said, "You're asking a lot."
She replied, "I'm worth a lot."

To those women who are worth a lot, I am sure us guys can sure provide *a lot*.
I don't think there is any man or woman in this world who is perfect in every aspect... if there were, then there wouldn't be any compromise to be made.... and relationship is the name of compromising for your partner.... you overlook their faults because their perfection in other areas make it totally worth it.
If someone looks for a perfect partner, then either be ready to keep looking throughout life or if you think you've found one, then be ready to be one the road again soon....
Before Marriage: I love you because you are damn funny.
After Marriage: I divorce you because you have no money.
It works this way!!
I dont think anyone can be perfect either, but words can be beautiful nevertheless.
