When I failed to find a real man, I started wondering whether or not such a man really exists. A perfect man who’ll make me happy and be there for me no matter what.
So, I asked my friends and we started talking about the traits of a real man, guides on how to find them, and signs on how to spot a perfect man. But seeking perfection isn’t really a good idea because, well, such a thing doesn’t exist.
I went on a couple of dates with guys who I thought fit my definition of a real man, but finding a perfect man is impossible. And I’ve realized that after how-many failed attempts.
A couple of heartbreaks and sleepless, tear-filled nights helped me learn that no matter how low or high my standards are, I’ll still fail to find a perfect man. I know I’ll eventually end up being lonely and disappointed if I don’t change my perception of what a real man is.
What I also know is that I’m sick of dating toxic and narcissistic boys who only sweet-talk me and don’t back up their words with actions. They’re selfish and don’t care about anyone else but themselves.
After a number of failed relationships, I’ve realized that I don’t need a perfect man, just one who is emotionally mature enough to know what he wants.
And I don’t care about physical attributes – I know they don’t really matter. Looks can only attract you at first, but his personality is what truly matters to me. I want to get to know his mind and soul (if he’s handsome, that’s just a bonus!)
I need a real man who is mature enough to know he has to stick to his words and promises.
I’m not looking for a guy who’ll promise me the moon and stars, yet fail to take me on a simple dinner first. I’m looking for a special someone who will be able to gaze at the stars with me on a hot summer’s night.
And I know I’m not asking for too much. Plenty of girls wish to have a simple man who’ll stick to his words and not leave them the second things get real.
Too many times I’ve been disappointed by men who only taught me not to expect too much from them. And because of that, I promised myself that I’ll never go looking for a perfect man, ever again.
I want a man who knows what he wants and knows how to get it. Someone who’ll fight for me and appreciate me for who I’m.
I don’t need a player who’ll want me one day and the next go out and chase another girl. I want to be someone’s priority like they are to me. Someone who is not self-centered or egotistical.
I don’t need a perfect man, just one who’s mature enough to know what he wants.
A man who’ll fight for me and overcome every obstacle to get to me. Someone who won’t play any mind games or make me feel like I’m less worthy of being loved.
I’m looking for a man who’ll love my heart and soul, and who’ll cherish me as I am, not try to change me in any way.
All I ever want is to love and be loved. Someone who’ll reciprocate my feelings. Love is all about giving and receiving. Nothing less.
I need a real man who won’t take me for granted and won’t use my kindness against me. Someone who’ll continue to fight for me even after I’ve given my heart to him.
Many guys believe that love is just a game, but that’s not true. You shouldn’t play with someone’s heart just because you’re bored and you don’t know what you want in your life.
You don’t chase a girl only to take her for granted afterward. That’s not what love is about. You continue fighting for her even if you have her love and you put in an effort to maintain it.
That’s the kind of man I’m looking for in my life. Not an immature boy who knows nothing about love.
I need a man who’ll understand my feelings and take care of them. A guy who knows that women are fragile yet at the same time strong enough to leave him if he mistreats her. A mature man knows that feelings shouldn’t be toyed with.
All I ask for is respect, honesty, and affection. I have to know that he won’t play with me once I tear down my walls and let him close to me.
I’m not asking for too much. Just a man who’ll be there for me when I need him. Someone who’ll take my hand and tell me everything’s going to be fine when times are tough. A shoulder to cry on.
I don’t need him to buy me a hundred roses just to prove that he loves me. I’m not that kind of a girl. I don’t believe in those modern-day luxuries. I believe in modesty and the significance of little things.
All I need is a man who’ll say what’s on his heart. Someone who’ll open up to me the same way I open up to him.
I don’t need a perfect man, just one who’s mature enough to know what he wants.
