No, Papa, that's what she CALLS her boobs. Her interns.

"...But we do ourselves such a disservice by using bullet points like this to determine a partner's devotion.

Is he honest?
Doe he call when he say he'll call?
Does he call you on the way over to your place and ask you if you need anything?
Do you trust him?
Doe he speak to you with respect and conduct himself with honor?
Does he stick around after you argue?
If you found out you were sick - really sick - would he still be there?

THEN THAT'S YOUR GUY."

With regards to the above, Moxie never stated or implied that finding one's personal "perfect mate" was an impossible task, simply that the standards by which we define "perfect" are skewed. Sure, this was a myspace bulletin probably written by a 14 year old, but I know plenty of adults that still can't seem to figure out what really matters in a realtionship.

Ugh, and even if you do find that perfectly sensitive guy, trust me, he's not Mr. Perfect.

I'm dating an uber-sensitive guy who understands my emotions and kisses my forehead and tells me I'm his everything. Every item on that MySpace list fits him and what he's done. And guess what? I DON'T WANT HIM. I want a guy that is actually a MAN and doesn't cry or talk about me trivializing his feelings when I have to postpone seeing him for a day so I can write a final paper for English class.

Look, bottom line: I'd rather have a not-so-perfect guy right now than what I have. Be happy with what you have, look at his good qualities. He doesn't have to be Mr. Perfect. He just has to be Mr. Perfect For You.

By the way, as a side-note, the forehead-kissing thing = majorly creepy and annoying.

What's wrong with that? Or are you just not old enough yet to truly appreciate the sentiment behind it?

Moreso, if you're dating a man you don't want, why in the world are you still dating him?


He doesn't have to be Mr. Perfect. He just has to be Mr. Perfect For You.

I believe that's the exact same thing I said a few posts back, only worded differently

A man who isn't MAN ENOUGH to shed a tear has no heart.

It sounds to me like you have a man who thinks the world of you and you really couldnt care less. Do yourselves both a favor and move on. Someone else deserves all he's willing to give.
