... doesn't exist.
Sorry ladies! That knight in shining armour is not going to come riding in on a valiant stallion and sweep you off your feet. Nope, it ain't going to happen. Now before you start thinking 'Boy, is she cynical about love!' I would like to share a bit about myself. I have been (and probably still am at heart) a hopeless romantic most of my life. I have dreamed about the day that I will meet the man I will marry and spend the rest of my life with and trust me I have thought of every possibility of the way that we could meet. Trust me. I have thought of EVERYTHING. I have written the list of what my perfect man (not boy) will be and I have dreamed of all the romantic gestures that he will do for me while we are dating, engaged and married. But reality, for some reason, has hit me this week. They guy that we want and dream of is probably not real. Granted there are a one or two guys out there who feel like they have stepped out of the movies (I know of one at least, but he's taken sorry!) but honestly, who would want to live with perfection every day?
Right let's bring this back to where I was intending to take it. Over the past couple of days I have been thinking about how we are constantly impressing a perfect image onto guys. We have created this image of perfection, that isn't realistic but somehow believe that it is achievable. How is this projection of perfection helping not only us but the guys in our life? I don't think it is. Now, I don't think it is completely our fault for creating this perfect image, I think the general media industry has A LOT to answer for. But that calls for a whole other rant!
We have created this illusion that perfection is the ideal, but wouldn't that get boring? We, the female species, needs to realise that the perfection that we often strive after in relationships and in males, isn't reality. It doesn't hurt to get to know the guy that everyone calls weird or the one who always sits by himself, who knows - the one who has been labelled an 'outcast' by society might just be 'perfect' for you...
Have a good night!
