Picture you have a lover. He/she (now to be referred to as she for simplicity’s sake), is perfect in every way. She is drop-dead gorgeous, her face making Audrey Hepburn look like Alfred E. Neuman. Her wit is on par with Mark Twain. She gets all your jokes and pop culture references. She even makes you breakfast in bed regularly. Oh, and don’t even get started on the love-making.
Well, the point is less that she is objectively perfect but that she is perfect for you, in every way.
Every way except one that is! This lover has a flaw. A dreadful…strange flaw. No, the flaw can be anything, but the goal is to make a flaw so that it’s hard to decide whether the relationship is worth keeping.
The way the game works is one person states a flaw, the next person answers whether they would keep or dump the perfect-in-ever-way (but one) lover (preferrably with a short explanation as for why), and then that next person crafts their own flaw. Side talk about previous flaws is fine I guess as long as it doesn’t create too much chaos.
I’lll start. Perfect in every way… but one day of the week can speak in nothing but Shakespeare quotations.
Go!

That’s a flaw?
Okay: Perfect…except is secretly building a doomsday device in the basement.

One man’s flaw is another man’s turn-on. All part of the fun.
Since the doomsday device is being built in secret, then I guess of course I would keep dating her. I’d be gone if I found out though.
Perfect in every way… but constantly smells like blue cheese.

I’d dump her. If I were full it’d make me sick. If I were hungry it’d make it worse.
Flaw: her father is Fred Phelps.

Stay, hoping she didn’t agree with his bs. Flaw: raving Crackhead, spends all her $ on crack, not food or rent.

Dump the crackhead.
Perfect in every way, but has the gene for Huntington’s.

40+ superfluous nipples.

10-15 years of happiness followed by 30-40 years of misery? Dumped. Sorry. ☹
Perfect in every way, but talks during movies?

Keep (but we’re watching movies separately from now on)
Can’t stand to be touched.

Not going to work if she can’t be touched.
Re-upping “40+ superfluous nipples,” suspecting that Huntington’s is more likely to be the culprit in causing 30-40 years of misery. 🙂

As regards to superfluous nipples, it’s location location location. Face? She’s outta here, sorry. Anywhere else I could probably learn to be fine with. Heck maybe it’ll even become a turn-on.
Oh, and I’m completely forgetting the surgical option. I’m guessing for the sake of the game that she is completely against having them removed.
Simply put, I’ll say yes.

Perfect in every way… but her body juts out spikes like a small cactus when she is really stressed.

I’ll substitute “his” so I can play.
Perfect in every other way but the spikes? I’ll keep him.
Perfect in every way…except she confides in you that until a few years back, she was a he…this is when you notice her Adam’s apple for the first time…

Meh, if it quacks like a duck… Keep her.
Perfect in every way but she … killed her first husband.

depend on why she killed him, but leaning to keep her
Perfect in every way, but you can’t figure out why she settled for you…
Every time you ask her this, she states in a mechanical voice…”ERROR ERROR system shutdown”, she has an epileptic seizure, when she regains concience she pretends nothing is wrong and coninues baking you a pie, painting your warhammer army or giving you your morning blowjob

Mmm, pie… I guess I could live with that.
Perfect in every way, but is a scientologist and insists you should join too.

Awww, that’s a deal breaker. Good one!
Perfect in every way, but likes to be choked during sex, and wants you to choke her more than you’re doing now. It never seems to be enough…

Keep her, she’s got a sister you can refine the technique on.
Perfect in every way, but lied about her age. She’s as old as your mother.

I’d keep her. I like even worse movies. 🙂
Perfect in every way, but is a cumpulsive gambler?

Keep her as long as she’s got it under control and isn’t actively gambling, otherwise no way.
Pefect in every way except that he/she has an extremely stressful and dangerous job.
