Where is my red coat?

I have been talking to many female friends recently, regarding relationship and men in their lives. And as we were discussing the qualification for my friend's next love over lunch, I realized that even though her conditions are pretty reasonably and long, it became apparent that it is a diffcult task. She is looking for:
age 27-35
with steady job
not terribly religious
taller than her (170+)
has similar background to her (tw, stayed in countries outside of tw for a prolong period of time)
doesn't want to get married in the next 6 months
does want to get married in the next 2 years

I told her, it is like you are trying to look for a perfect red coat for your fall wardrobe. You can clearly see that in your head, certain length, certain cutting... But when you limit yourself to that red coat, you have to look really hard for it.

There might only be a few stores that carry red coats, and fewer that carries the same length, and yet fewer that carries the same cutting. When you walk into the store, you might find fabric and buttons not to your liking, or even worse, the coat is perfect, but your size is not avaliable, ever...

So, I told her, try to relax, lay back a little, let FATE come to you, if you go out shopping without knowing exactly what you want to get, you might still get something really nice at the end of the day while your mental health is still intact.

I shared this anology to my creme brulee, she totally agreed with it, she said she had been searching for a white coat for 2 years, and finally found it in Japan. And in between those time, she had to settle with white coats she didn't really like. When I asked her, did you cherish it more than other coats, she said "of course, because I know how much I have tried to look for that coat, I take it with me everywhere I move..."

So, here is the verdict, you either relax and wait, or you go and look really hard, eventually, we all get what we want... hopefully...
