Don't worry chica...no such thing! No man is perfect, no woman is perfect. We just find someone we can put up with (flaws and all) and not commit any felonies in the meantime.

Perfect? Hell I don't even know what that would be. I just know that there has to be enough good there to make the "less than good" stuff not be an issue.

If thats the case, wouldnt everyone just settle then? If I put in 100% in to a relationship, I deserve someone who will also put in 100%. I think of entitlement as earning it.

I had a heartbreak over 15yrs ago with my daughter's father and this one recently has done more to me then my daughter's father ever did but I still have strong feelings for him? and even hope that he will grow up and change (even though my heart tells me something different) he is sooooo addicting. I think I actually love him more then my previous ex and am afraid that sooner or later will fall right back into his trap now why is that the bad boys always turn girls on? and we can't get enough of them? is it all the games they play? mind games how I call them?

Why is it that he did me wrong 100 times worse and I feel I love him more then the other? I just don't get it..........
Not this girl. I can't run fast enough from them. No interest at all.

But being entitled to perfection (something that doesn't exist) will only lead to dissapointment, right?

I'm saying these views can only lead to being dissapointed if you feel entitlements to things, then they aren't what you thought you were entitled to. Nobody is perfect.

The bad boy syndrome... Like a bad car crash, you can't look away.

different from the man who has a backbone and will stand up for what he believes and rarely backs down.

I wrote a Sociology paper on this topic when I was a Senior in High School
This is EXACTLY what I was thinking but I could never, ever have said it so well.

oh...this topic again. Women can't even agree on defining what a "bad boy" is.
