Okay, first read this; it’s by this woman who advises women to, well, settle. Sort of. She even turned that article into a book called, “Marry Him,” which you can buy here.
Now read this response from one of her ex-boyfriends. Chilling.
And now read this third response from yet another ex of hers who actually paints her in a good light.
I have to admit, she’s clearly a bit of a moonbat (chick lit writers tend to be that way), but she has a point. As Chris Rock once famously (right?) said, you aren’t going to find someone who, just like you, are into both Jerry Seinfeld AND the Woo Tang Clan, just like you are. You aren’t supposed to be looking for some fantasy from a romance novel, because that’s unrealistic; life is not a fantasy and Prince Charming isn’t coming.
Instead, the point is to find someone who you can live with, talk with, share with, because ultimately, that is where the butterflies of true love and romance come from.
Or maybe I’m off my rocker. I’m sure I’ll podcast about this soon.
