The Ugly Truth and How it Relates to Real-Life Relationships

It was a really good movie. I enjoyed it a lot. It totally got me thinking; we all have "lists". You know. That list of qualities and characteristics that we want in a partner. Tall, in shape, smart, educated, good job, white/black/asian, blue/brown/green eyes, blonde/brown/red hair. The list can go on and on. I guess for some, their list is short and limited and not really picky. For others, like Abby, the list is longer and more complex and literally for "Mister/Misses Right!"

But really?! If you're old enough and you've lived your life, and got your heart broken a good handful of times, then you know there's no such thing as perfect, only imperfection seen as perfection in your eyes. I mean, sure I have my own list, but that list is only limited to height, age and ethnicity (No, I'm not racist, I just have my preferences). I mean, obviously a degree, a good job and a house is a plus, but that just means you like what they earned and bought, not what they have.

My tiny list of three easy "must have", I suppose you can say, won't hurt or limit me to any "future lover", but if you or anyone else has a list just as long as a child's Christmas list... Then there's a problem. I mean, if you wanna stay single for a very long time looking for that specific "perfect" person, then sucks for you for being lonely. If you do have a long list, try cutting it down to at least half. If you have a long list, half might be a lot, BUT half a list doesn't mean half a person! You never know... Taking out "Must like all types of wine" and "Doesn't play video games", might just find you someone that'll make you just as happy as someone who doesn't/does have those traits!I'm just saying. Cut back, let loose, and take a chance! You never know what you might find in the land of does and doesn't and if's and might's!
