Perfect Perfect Perfect

Not perfect, in fact, I may hate this person :)

They are obsessed with finding the perfect parking space.

Omg, not perfect. We are built to walk. Parking close comes with increased risk of getting your car dinged.

Would rather spend money on tattoos than move out of his seedy motel room to a better home?
(I dated this guy:rolleyes:)

Super hard pass! I am sorry you had to deal with that!

Insists on introducing you with sometimes rude pet names?

Not perfect if they insist on it.
That could turn into "Alright, hun, it was funny the first five times, but can you chill on the names for a bit?"
Even good jokes can run their course.



Is still active on dating apps.

I mean, it depends on how bad they have it, but I might not be able to handle it if they have a bad tic.
I know it's not their fault and they could be perfectly lovely otherwise, but I wouldn't be able to deal with it.



Is always complaining about their body regardless of whether or not you tell them it's good.

Not perfect, but tolerable (kind of) I had a girlfriend with relatively small breasts and she was always talking about wanting to get a boob job. No matter how much I tried to convince her they were perfect (and they really were super fucking hot) she wouldn't believe me. That was annoying, but otherwise a good relationship.

They watch the news (any of them) and take it verbatim.

Way not perfect! I need to be able talk about it and there is no way you can with an extremist of any ilk.

Wakes you up at least twice a night?

Still perfect - I'm usually up at least twice anyway.

What if they have a best friend you don't get along with?
 
Unless we were involved in some kind of potato chip sex experiment Not Perfect.

Their shoes stink when they take them off. The kind of stink where they have to be kept in another room.

Not perfect, what are you doing to get your shoes that smelly?


Is a political activist.

That made me laugh. I've done quite a bit of cycle-touring, and my cycling shoes have got really smelly after a couple of weeks. Ugh. And you can't really run them through a washing machine very easily when you're on the road. They won't dry in time for the next day. I did find that trapping them in a drawer was a good technique. And then not opening that drawer until the very last second... :D

Anyway. Political activist. For 'my side'? Probably not perfect. Sounds exhausting. For the 'other side'? Definitely not perfect. Exhausting and frustrating, probably.

Has a huge beard, in which food lands whilst he's eating.

Perfect, as long as he keeps himself clean, the beard is something fun. If it's a case of HER having a beard... Then not so sure

Plays with his/her food even in public?

I would reckon I could get over that, especially if they were reasonable about situations which demanded propriety. Life is short... have fun.


How about usage of common mispronounced/ misused words; *nuke-you-ler*, *pacifically*, *irregardless*, and the like.

A bit irritating, and I'd probably correct them every time until they got it right, but I think I could live with it.



Keeps in touch with their former relationship.

That's a conditional one. Some folks have working relationships with exes due to co-parenting or business interests, and I'm not one to say that's not valid.
A recent fuck buddy? No way.


Thinks stockings with open toes is fashionable and sexy.

Sure, I could humor him and wear those from time to time. Perfect

Has a really low credit score.

Her credit with me is all I care about so . . . Perfect (with an asterisk)

--I would be curious why she is so bad with money, paying bills, or what have you. Then again, she may have just run into some financial problem that couldn't be avoided, so, no problem.

They have a good, stable job but want to leave it and pursue a total pipe dream that has almost zero chance for success.

That's a no. While I respect dreams and goals, that seems indicative of recklessness and a disregard for personal responsibility. Maybe in the early 20's, but definitely not in mid 40's.

How about wide disparity in formal education? Say a successful business owner high school grad or dropout with a mate sporting a fancy degree or several.

Probably a no, statistically speaking it wouldn't work anyway!

How about if they were obsessed with watching cartoons and reliving childhood memories?

I need a break from kids’ stuff. I want someone to provide more mature thoughts, instead.

What if they had ABBA on repeat whenever they drove anywhere?

PERFECT! We'll get along swimmingly.

You go back to their place. They greet their dog with big slobbery doggo kisses. Then they go in to kiss you. Still perfect?
