An ideal boyfriend. Some call him a myth, others a figment of our imagination created by a heady mixture of childhood fairy tales and romantic movies. We make a checklist based on our flight of imagination and score every man we meet on its basis.
But, the most important factor that we forget to take into consideration is US. We, the women of the world, forget to factor ourselves in when defining the ideal partner.
The ideal man for me isn't a tall, dark and handsom prince charming who will ride on a snow white stallion in a quest to rescue me from my mundane life. He would be someone with who I can be my mundane self and still be happy. I don't want to be taken on a fantastical journey by him, I want to share my drab story with him.
In other words, the ideal man is all about compatibility. Someone whose personality compliments yours. Let's face it, we can't be the cinderella with glass slippers every minute of our lives, we're bound to be sooty and messy more often than not. Then why are we questing for a prince charming, who we expect to sweep us off our feet with every action? Let him be sooty and messy too, as long as you're both having fun.
