Quotes to ponder:
"To say that one waits a lifetime for their perfect soulmate to come around is an absolute paradox."
"In the real world, you don’t love and appreciate someone because they’re perfect, you love and appreciate them in spite of the fact that they are not."
"That imperfect man or woman evolves into a ‘perfect’ lifelong companion."

[00:00:30] Now onto the show. This is Optimal Relationships Daily, How to Find the Perfect Man or Woman by Marc Chernoff of markandangel.com. This morning over coffee, one of my good friends spilled her guts to me about all of her failed attempts to find the perfect man. Although her story is about her unique personal experiences, I couldn't help but feel like I'd heard the same story told by others in completely different circumstances a hundred times before.
[00:01:00] It's a heartbreaking tale about the endless quest for perfection that so many of us are on. The Perfect Woman Once upon a time, an intelligent, attractive, self-sufficient woman in her mid-thirties decided that she wanted to settle down and find a husband. So she journeyed out into the world to search for the perfect man. She met him in New York City, at a bar in a fancy hotel lobby. He was handsome and well-spoken. In fact, she had a hard time keeping her eyes off of him. He intrigued her.
[00:02:29] Her friends loved him, too. He's the perfect catch, they told her. But we didn't hang in the same social circles and his high-profile job consumed way too much of his time and attention, she said. So she cut things off and continued on her journey.
[00:06:47] How am I evolving and enabling myself to meet this person, place, or thing halfway and showing that I'm willing to grow and change too?
[00:07:25] My life awaits.
