I did marry the 100% guy. He has some personality quirks that drive me right up the wall.

But, I do as well.. I am amazed he's put up with me.

I guess that is what is meant by "unconditional" love?

Ones a friend, the other is a mate. You let me know when you've found somebody who exceeds choice a. Remember your choice A probably has minor things they don't like about you, too.

Yeah, right. I want to meet the person who has no flaws. Nobody is perfect and you can bet that sooner or later you are going to find the cloud in your sliver lining.

Also, it is very difficult for people to love someone 100 percent unconditionally. I would be suspicious of that as well. But still I would definitely choose that person over someone who only loves me 50 percent.

100% because she is less likely to leave me than 50/50

What kind of flaws? He hangs the toilet paper wrong? He wears his baseball cap at the dinner table? Or does he beat women? Does he kick dogs and torture cats?

This is pretty much the choice I made 30 years ago and I don't regret it. My ex fiance's character flaws would have been the end of us eventually anyway and I knew it. I can't respect a man who has character flaws and I don't think men do well with women who don't respect them. But I do believe he loved me more than my husband loves me but that and a buck 25 will buy you half a cup of coffee these days.

A 50% emotional bond is hardly worth pursueing.

If you can't get past what ever it is you don't like about a person, keep looking!
I disagree. The one with character will stick by you though thick and thin because of their character. Love tends to fade. Character is forever.

Voted 1.
If you truly do love the person back, those "flaws" turn out being "unique quirks", and not really "flaws" after all.

IMO, Physical attraction and infatuation fade. But iif you stumble upon the Real Deal, it won't fade.

I really don't think humans are capable of loving "unconditionally" as, say, animals do.

But those "conditions" are what you want to make them.

Those flaws can become as big as you want them or as small as you want them.

Granted some flaws are bigger than others to begin with. I mean, being a serial killer isn't a small flaw no matter how small you want to make it.
