Perfect to whose eyes?

Sometimes we ask, what is really considered perfect? Should there be always be a prince charming for a beautiful princess; or prince charming for a prince charming? LOL

When we look at a couple, if it does not look like it should be a perfect pair (in one’s perception), a Brad Pitt look with a Tony Shalhoub or a Tom Cruise with Kathy Bates look, you’d say “I don’t think they are a perfect match”, “Something’s wrong with this picture that I can’t put my finger on.” But who are we to say that a perfect couple is “not-so” perfect”?

To some people, the quote, “Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder” sums it up to anybody’s question on his “not-so” perfect match. The standards that we put for ourselves are different from others, where some might agree with your comment, while others tend to disagree.

Try to take the analogy of what is considered a perfect home to a perfect match. Some people would like their home to be a Zen design, practically simple and less complicated furniture or antiques while others would look for a Balinese mix of Tropical design.

It all comes to a person’s taste. So when it comes to the question of what type of guys/gals you are looking for, and one states, “I like him/her to be manly/slender built, intelligent and caring”, but in the end finds a less than average guy/gal with less of what is stated, you’d be questioned “That’s what you call your perfect candidate?”

It really depends on what is the level of acceptance of what each person’s standards are. Be very aware or what we say sometimes to other people (even unintentionally), the situation might just fall on us. When faced with the statement “Hey, he’s/she's not quite your match”, we’d be answering “Well, in my eyes, he’s/she's perfect in every way.”
