Reminds me of punchline from a joke about a man who finally, after 30 years of searching for "the perfect woman - found one:
"Unfortunately, she was looking for the perfect man."
In my experience, an overlooked part of finding a good mate is making yourself into a good candidate for your side of that partnership.

- Balgair 10y agoThe logic is similar to the old idiom: If you have to say you are a lady, you are not a lady. With dating, you have be sought after, and not chase after others. Trying to tell people that are lonely about this is, unfortunately, useless; the heart wants what it wants and we can do little to change it. For anyone out there that is male, I would suggest these posts (linked in article) to help alter the equation so that you are sought after and are not the seeker: http://www.artofmanliness.com/2014/03/31/the-3-ps-of-manhood-a-review/ http://www.artofmanliness.com/2014/03/31/the-3-ps-of-manhood... . Remember that being a real man is not the opposite of being a woman, but rather in not being a child.
