"I couldn't possibly fail to disagree with you less."
12 April 2008Ten-plus out of tenThe perfect woman, says Roissy in DC, has to be imperfect:
She has to have at least one flaw you can exploit to keep her feet on the ground and her head out of the clouds. Plus, it makes her more human and, through osmosis, makes you more human. This type is not hard to find since every woman has flaws. The only perfect women are the ones who are made perfect by worshipful betas.
But don't ever say you're not looking for the perfect woman. You are, and that should be your mindset. You don't set out searching for your soulmate selling yourself short with a list of lover exemptions that gives her a pass on pleasing you. Maybe I've spent too much time talking to Chuck, but "selling short" to me has always meant selling something you didn't actually own. As to Roissy's personal desiderata, I endorse some outright, endorse others with reservations, and recoil in horror from some. Different strokes for different folks, and all that. Then again, he refers to himself as "a romantic at heart," a description I've tried, and failed, to affix to myself: if I didn't know better, and technically I don't, I'd swear I'd sacrificed all the passion on the altar of vague contentment.
