The Perfect

Some of my oldest friends all the way from my university days were commenting the other day on the woman I am looking for. They say she has to be attractive, she has to have the ability to assist me at my career, and/or at home. Basically a woman I can take out and keep in. A perfect woman, in their words.

Although I was resisting to that idea, I remembered that my previous relationship did accuse me of "looking for that perfect woman".

So, I asked my oldest friends who are all by the way, either married or getting married, weren't your spouses looking for perfect women when they found you? My friends couldn't respond to that.

Then, I remember what my boss told me once, if you want to marry someone, you don't look for the best one, you look for the fittest one. I agree with that statement, I am far from perfect myself, and I shouldn't be looking for the perfect.

I think what bothers me is that I have never asked my better half to assist in my career, but I do need them to understand what I do. To have my oldest friends not knowing who my "perfect woman" should be is a little disappointing.

But I am still mixed up in that looking for the perfect or looking for the fittest.
