Perfect people are always really boring. If I could find a “perfect” SO that didn’t talk about themselves all the time (kinda boring after a while) :rolleyes: … then I would be happy. Truth told, I have found that some of the not as good looking people I have dated have been much more interesting… just food for thought. Carry on. ---

It’s great if she will cut my hair, cut my toenails, shave my face, buton my shirt, and remember my mom’s birthday. The most important thing, however, no one has mentioned. She absolutely HAS to cook great! Cook lots of food, new stuff, ethnic stuff, Martha Stewart stuff! ---

## — She’s as excited as you that the Detroit Lions seem to have upgraded the speed in their linebacking corps, which bodes well for the nickle package that they had so many problems with last year What if I told you that the little lady is excited for Saturday? Stay away…she’s mine I tell you mine! ---

Why is that The Perfect Guy thread is far outstripping this one? Is it because women are more obsessed with perfection? Or that the guys are being less than forward in putting forward their ideal mate? Well? ---

I was just happy when the Lions got rid of Rivers and Hill (it still cracks me up). If I had to watch ONE MORE pass interference called against Rivers, I PERSONALLY was going to go to the Silverdome and kick his ass. BTW did you read the Freep article about Barry? [http://www.freep.com/sports/drewsharp/drew14\_20000814.htm](http://www.freep.com/sports/drewsharp/drew14_20000814.htm) He should have kept his mouth shut and been a jackass by proxy. Sorry about turning this into a sports forum, but they’re REALLY aren’t that many Lions fans out there, so you have to give them a shout! ---

I think that it’s hard to find the perfect girl/guy/whatever, but I think I’m pretty close to what someone wants in a woman. Then again, every man’s opinion differs. Whoever makes me happy and whom I want to make happy for the rest of his/her life is who I want. ---

Well colour me jealous then as we’ve already established I could not pursue the seemingly wonderful quietgirl. _wistful sigh_ Sexual orientations aside I couldn’t face the beating you promised. 😉 ---

…I married her. For #1-43, she fulfills them all, except: 1. But I usually don’t watch sports, so no biggee. 2. But whenever she does, she _is_ right. Well, most of the time. 😉 In addition… [ul] [li]she goes to the bathroom faster than any woman I’ve ever known (no waiting)[/li][li]she prefers to have me drive[/li][li]she doesn’t wear makeup and doesn’t need it[/li][li]she has no inhibitions in front of me[/li][li]she challenges me to excel in ways I never would on my own[/li][/ul] And I could keep going and going. ---

Any of you guys want to drop by Pittsburgh, I’ll show you around a bit… _grin_ (Other than the football stuff, I’ll hang out and ask questions about the game, but don’t expect me to go to one.
