In Search For Perfection

Triggered a brainstorm within myself after reading this article on Diva and the comments on it, were priceless.

More often, women find themselves searching for "The One". I tend to disagree that we are in search for the perfect man. That said, there are a few criteria to be fulfilled. Wrong? No and let me explain why.

As most of us have heard at least once in our lifetime, Mom knows better. Geared with the natural instinct to only want the best for their children, Moms tend to be a little too conservative and over the top when it comes to protecting their "herd". However, the truth is usually not far. Only when certain factors are stable, love can continue to grow into life and commitment. Instability will brew undesirable arguements.

On the contrary, looking for a man more superior should not be one of the criteria but instead, looking for an equal should be the basic benchmark. At least to me, the guidelines are as such and Mom did play a part in building them up.

1. A stable job/career - Without this, life would be tough. Inevitably, women tend to seek some form of stability because the foresight of trouble usually brews from inconsistency. A man who plans ahead with some responsibilities would be in a better position to be able to provide the companionship to plan a lifetime with you.

2. Filial - Only when a person who looks after his kins will he be able to provide the necessary support for his family. 'Nuff said.

3. Sanely Communicative - Without communication, relationships are headed for doom be it at work or in your personal life. It takes 2 to tango and that is a fact of life that will never change. And by communication, honesty is imperative.

The rest are minor and highly subjective. It's essentially the reason why some people end up with some and not the others.

Life can be weird sometimes...
