The perfect woman

What is the perfect woman like? Oh man, this is a loaded question. But I'm going to answer it. I know that the perfect woman for one guy won't be the same as the next guy. But just hear me out, and you'll get your answer.

I'll start with appearance, since that's the first thing you notice about someone. We all know what the stereotypical perfect woman would look like. I won't go into details. However, there are also different ways a woman can look that would be "perfect" to us. Without going into details, a short girl with a certain body type, certain face structure and hair color/style could look perfect to a guy. A taller girl with a different height, body type, face structure, and hair color/style could also be deemed "perfect" in that guy's mind as well. Us guys have seen many women in our lifetime that are "perfect", and we're gonna keep seing more. If you happen to hear a guy say that some woman looks perfect, doesn't mean that every other woman in the world is second place at best. Lots of women can share first place.

Personality. What is the perfect personality to match a certain guy? Is it one where hers compliments his and makes up for the areas he lacks in, and visa versa? Is it one where they agree on nearly everything? Do opposites attract? Each person is different, so any answer I give will not be applicable to all or even most people. The type of personality a guy has needs to be pretty perfect with that woman. If he's an "opposites attract" kind of guy and she's an "agree on nearly everything" kind of woman, do you really think that things are gonna work out between them? In this area, she needs to be perfect for him.

Skills and talents. Some guys like girls that are athletic, musically talented in certain areas, certain senses of humor (a sense of humor to make people laugh is a skill in my book), achievements in life, and other things. A lot of these things are blessings to the woman and to the guy. They improve the quality of life, and help add to her resume of perfection.

Emotional. Most every virtuous guy likes a happy girl. When she's happy, he's happy. When she smiles, she looks more attractive. If she can brighten up your day, she must have a bright outlook on life herself, and guys want to be a part of that. However, the proportions of craziness (in a good way of course), non-craziness, seriousness, emotionalness (it's a made up word that means how much it can take to get her really emotional/worked up about certain things (getting worked up about certain things is good, but not for other things)), (putting things in parenthesis is fun), self-will, zeal, and a lot of other similar things, depends on the guy.

I haven't been too helpful so far, have I? I'm about to change that. I'm gonna substitute the word 'perfect' for 'ideal' right now, so that I can make my point. The ideal woman for a certain guy would seem too good to be true. Inner and outer beauty, stability of mind and emotion, Godly zeal, and the right kind of personality to match that guy; every guy wants those things in general. The ideal woman has all of those to the extreme. The ideal woman would of course not be a perfect human being, but man, she'd be pretty close.

The perfect woman isn't the ideal woman. In fact, the perfect woman isn't perfect. Yes, I just contradicted myself, but it's true. The perfect woman has less to offer than the ideal one. Why would downgrading make her perfect? Because guys love your imperfections as well. We love the fact that you're human, and that you're a real person. I can't really describe it. Sometimes just the way you are is perfect. The fact that you aren't ideal but that you have the potential to become ideal (which means that you're working on becoming that way), helps make you perfect.

There are a lot of perfect woman out there. They're not ideal, but they're trying their best to become that way, and that's one of the reasons why they are perfect. Just because they're trying doesn't necessarily make them perfect. They have to already have some ideal qualities about them. They have to show evidence that they are a Godly woman, that they have great qualities, skills, personality, etc. of course. If they have those qualities, and they're trying to be a better woman, they're probably perfect to someone.
