There is no such thing as the right woman, just your best option. Sometimes the two might be one in the same but most of the time that is not the case. Many of you may be shocked and appalled by this statement but it is true. Most people go through this process of elimination with out even thinking about it. Most men gather a couple of females on their roster and decide which one they want to spend the most time with.
For example, if your dating a man and you only meet him at odd times during the day or night, like early afternoon or late at night, chances are your aren't at the top of his list. Alternatively if you are spending a lot of time with the guy with him you're probably close to or at the top of the list.
The right man or woman is a figment of our imagination, fairy tales that we are fed as children and believe as adults. No one in the world exists with all the qualities that we like or want in a person. Eventually, after endless searching, people get tired and settle for what they could get. Don't get it twisted, there's nothing wrong with settling. What happens to most people is that they get their hopes up so high that they can't bring themselves to settle with the best choice; they'd rather keep looking and get left alone.
If you can look at your partner and say they are everything you want in a man or woman you are either on drugs and delusional or lying through your teeth. Realizing early that you will end up with your best option will save yourself with a lot of disappointment later.

Post a Comment (8)Rey,
I couldn't agree more. Real talk right there.

Maybe finding the right partner is a figment or your imagination, but not all adults. My man is everything I want in a man: smart, loving, good job, handsome, and he satisfies me physically and emotionally. I'm not saying he's perfect cus no one is but I also don't feel as though I'm just "settling" with him cus hes my best option.
Maybe one day if you're lucky youll find the perfect girl and not just settle for someone whos your best option. That would be really sad.
I am happy you feel that you have found the perfect man but I don't think you should down play settling for your best option. Maybe you don't get where I'm comming from. For example, if I wanted a job that pays 70k and has good job security but I get an offer for 65k and job security, I would take it. Now if (hypothetically) I'm looking for a female that's smart, pretty, and has nice ass and tits and find one that's just smart and pretty w/ an ass, I'll still take her cause she close enough (lol). I don't think that's sad at all :)
So true. I think that Girl is Lost in some unrealistic world. One sided relationships don't last. Someone is going to get hurt.
You are a genius!
rarely do I get called a genius... thanks julia
Are you sure that there is no such thing as the right woman? Or have you been swimming in your pool of cynicism for too long? We always joke about being old but we're not, so there is still time. And you can't say that you haven't found the right person when you haven't tried to.
I'm sure that I'll eventually find someone but she wont be "mrs. right" the "perfect woman" or anything like that. She'll be my best option. That's all I'm saying
