Well, let's face it, the perfect guy doesn't exist, and I say, thank the Lord for that! Every time I look over at my "doesn't feel like shaving today or this week" 23 year old boyfriend, I might wish he'd pull it together a little more. As I think it through, however, it gives me something to add to the mixing pot that is a relationship with any human being.

For years, women have been trying to mold and perfect the male species. Not only does it either push them away or break them to nothing, it usually ends in boredom. If we were to examine what could be contained inside the body of the perfect man, I think you will all agree that it's not what it's made out to truly be!

1) He's got the looks. So, the perfect man is the perfect bod. For me, he'd come in a package about 6'2", muscular, but not too muscular, big smile, bright eyes, nice tan and that perfect flat stomach.
Let's face it, most of America is overweight, so yes, I am too. As much as I fight it, I can't seem to lose as much as I'd like.

3) He brings home presents, just because he loves you. You can only get flowers so many days a week before you're running out of vases and extra glasses to place them inside of, right? So then he brings home chocolate all the time, you gain weight. Or he spends the big bucks and you have to wonder what he did so wrong that he bought you a beautiful bracelet, "Just Because It's Wednesday".

4) He listens every time you talk. I hate to say it, but am I the only one who doesn't want my man to drop everything and stare into my eyes when I'm just venting about a work issue or about forgetting the mayonnaise at the grocery store? As a woman, sometimes I just talk, to well, talk. I don't care if anyone honestly pays that much attention and I can't imagine anyone who'd want to drown in my droning anyways. And, maybe he listens so much that he doesn't have his own opinions and all I get is "I understand".

5) He always does the right thing, He's sensitive. If he always did the right thing, how are you going to feel when you get
