The Perfect Woman

When i think about this question, so many thoughts come to mind of what “I” think the perfect woman is. Generally, it’s the attributes i believe i want to be and look for in myself. But is there such a things called the perfect woman? Is this really what men look for and women aspire to be? Is this idea the reason that we are never really satisfied with what or who we are? I go back to thinking about what instilled this idea in the first place. TV. That’s where it started. Prince Charming, Princess Aurora. The woman who stays at home, barefoot in the kitchen. All before the “independent woman”. We don’t know what to look for or what to be except for what we are shown as successful or desirable. Magazines, Movies, Art… we all have admiration to be the best at everything and desire people to envy us. But… what is a perfect woman? Someone who pleases? Who adheres to your every desire? Who wears the right makeup, beautiful skin, beautiful body, funny, smart, calm, sexy, intriguing, the true “Wonder Woman”. but is that what we really want? Can we live up to that? Can we compete with that? Would it REALLY be desirable to be with someone who has no flaws? Who can do no wrong? I think there is such a thing as “perfectly imperfect”. I learned to love my flaws and my mis-steps. my uniqueness. It’s what makes me up. No ONE woman can be the perfect Woman for every man. Because every man is looking for something different. So it all comes down to… are you the perfect woman for that one man? And that’s where you can argue the continuous conversation of soulmates. I think this idea of “perfect” is impossible. And we continue to feed into it which is unfair to us and unfair to our little girls who are looking to us for how to be a “woman”. What is a woman? What makes us special? We are so consumed with being the best that when cornered, we lash out by the only way we know possible… bringing other women down because that’s the only way we can show we are better than one another. It’s a world of competition and who did it better. If anything, i urge you to self reflect on how you view yourself? How do you represent yourself and who you are? How do you represent yourself to your partner? And for a man, step back and think about what you have. If you have a woman, how are you making her feel special and unique? And that for you she is the “perfect woman”. Don’t forget, women are strong creatures. Adaptable… resilient… can give life… can turn the world upside down if she wanted to…
