Personally, I don't think "he" exists...or does he?

He's tall, dark, and handsome, with a smokin' hot body, a great personality, and a tasteful sense of humor.  Who is this mystery man? Does he even exist? Maybe in the mind of every women in the world, but otherwise...no, I don't think so.  All to may times, we sit and wait for the perfect person to come into our lives, and what for...to be disappointed.  Our expectations are so high, that no one can even come close.  We may let perfectly wonderful people just slip away because they may not be what "we think" we want.

Furthermore, we as women can't be Mrs. Right either.  It is physically impossible to be perfect. And really...who gets to determine what's "perfect" anyway? If you are really concerned about being Mrs. Right, you are probably an awesome person and any guy would be lucky to have you.  Their loss if they think otherwise.

I know that oftentimes I find myself being overly critical not only of others, but also of myself.  I'm not saying that we shouldn't have standards, but don't make these standards impossible to meet.  Don't settle, but don't judge.  As I sit here writing this, I am pondering my title, and possibly changing my outlook.  Maybe Mr. Right does exist.  Maybe he just isn't what we thought he'd be.  I once watched this movie.  I think it was called "The List" or something, but regardless of the title, it was about this girl who formed a list of all of the traits that she wanted in a guy.  Eventually she found this guy, but she discovered that he wasn't actually what she wanted.  In the end, she ended up with a guy that in the beginning drove her completely bonkers.  Overall it was a pretty cute movie, and it had a good message.  We need to be open to try new things...things that we may not necessarily think are what we want. I just changed the title by adding...or does he? at the end.  I do believe that there is a Mr. Right out there for every woman.  Someone that she can't stand sometimes.  Someone that drives her bonkers.  Someone that she can't live without.
