MadDog Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 Picture this: they're the guy or girl of your dreams. They're a 10/10 in the looks department (e.g. a "dime piece"), have a great personality, would be interested in you, and they're single. They have no emotional baggage, kids, other major issues, etc. They're literally perfect by most standards. How much money would you pay or what sacrifices would you make to meet and date the person who'd be perfect for you? There'd be no guarantee you'll end up living happily ever after--this would be just for a date and the rest would be up to you.
allina Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I feel like I've met him, the no guarantees part is what is tough. What would you give to meet that person?
Noos Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 That would be worth $5000 to me. With a guarantee, I might give up $50 000.
Author MadDog Posted May 18, 2006 Author Posted May 18, 2006 Right now I don't have $5000 but I'd give all the spending money I'd have for the next 2 years. Once I start getting paid, I'd pay a lot more than $5000. Maybe $100,000 to meet that person and get a date with them.
Walk Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 hmm... No insult intended, but I'm not quite sure I undertand why the obsession for perfection? I'd bet even odds against that after 2 dates you'd be bored of the person and asking for your money back.

I'd bet even odds against that after 2 dates you'd be bored of the person and asking for your money back. Not if you have an incredible chemistry and your personalities match really well. I've had lots of fun for way more than 2 dates with girls who weren't perfect for me.
Author MadDog Posted May 18, 2006 Author Posted May 18, 2006 $50 for the first hour. Kidding... It's said you don't pay a hooker for the sex. You pay a hooker to leave when you're finished.

I've had lots of fun for way more than 2 dates with girls who weren't perfect for me. Yeah.. I get what you're saying. I wasn't assuming you meant only gorgeous air heads or anything like that... What would your perfect dating material woman be MadDog? (I'm just curious.. ) I already know she'd be hot, so you can skip the physical description. But who would she be? And don't wuss out and just list generalities like, "she'd have a sense of humor". Why would her out look on life be different from the 3 million other women out there?

Why would her out look on life be different from the 3 million other women out there? Now you're really making me dig deep, aren't you? Okay, I'll break it down (not in order of importance): 1. Chill personality: this means most everyday things aren't a big deal to her. She'll only get upset about the stuff that's actually worth getting upset about. 2. Confident/Secure: she doesn't wonder or ask if I still care about her, think another girl is hotter, etc. If I go to a bachelor party, she says "have a good time" and not "why are you going, what's going to happen there, etc." 3. Family oriented: she eventually wants kids and would make family her #1 priority once they're born (balanced with career.) 4. Motivated/Has Goals: has a good career or is working towards one. Money isn't as important as something she has a passion for (e.g. teaching). 5. Has a life of her own: has good friends and enjoys hanging out with them. Thinks a weekly or semi-weekly girl's night out and respective guy's night out is a good idea. 6. Faithful: always acts the same way with the opposite sex as if I were there. In other words, she wouldn't be doing stuff she knows I wouldn't approve of if I were there. I'm totally non-jealous so harmless flirting wouldn't be a big deal if it doesn't cross the line. 7. Kind-hearted but knows how to treat lame people: she treats everyone nicely by default but will know when to put her foot down if someone's being an ass (e.g. if some a**h*** is hitting on her, she'd know when to put her foot down and brush him off instead of being nice to him because she "doesn't know how to be mean.") 8. Loves sex as much as me: not only does she love it and want it as much as I do, she's got skills and confidence in the bedroom. I think if I had all those qualities, she'd be a pretty great match for me.
lovelorcet Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I think that money is easy to spend especially when you have it. But I think another way of putting it would be a sacrifice one is willing to make. I met a girl when 1 was 18, I thought she was a 9/9 after a year she had to move back to Europe. Spent 4 years studying in the states, never strayed, learned a new language and always worked my ass off so I could spend the summers with her. When I was done I move to Europe, found a job and supported her till she was done wither studies. When she finished I went back to grad school and did well enough to get into one of the top labs in the world. About 6 months ago she starts to drop the bomb and now I am here alone and have to reorientate my entire life after 10 years of hard work. How do you put a price tag on that? So my point… I would put just as much into the next person if I felt in my heart she was worth it.
Whitt Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I keep thinking that I meet the right one and everything falls apart. I'd give my left arm to just not keep meeting the wrong ones!
Alexandra Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I think if I had all those qualities, she'd be a pretty great match for me. It almost sounds like you want a guy.
Spiderman Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I keep thinking that I meet the right one and everything falls apart. I'd give my left arm to just not keep meeting the wrong ones! [sIZE=2]I always used to look in awe at people in great relationships & wonder if I would ever find something/someone that special, I now have , so know it's out there for everyone. It's as if someone people settle for second best and then wonder why they're unhappy! IMO The main factors that make for a good relationship are morals, interests, family values, compromise, a similar vision as to where you see yourself heading in life and most of all the ability to talk. Whitt, you'll meet that perfect someone one day, hang in there! [/sIZE]
Whitt Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 Thanks, Spiderman. I keeping getting with guys that think I'll change - how creepy is that?
ronnieromance Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 A few years ago I would have said I would give $xxx,xxx,xxx or __________, but I wouldn't give anything. I don't want or need someone like that. I want to pursue the things that I want in life, my music, my writing, my spiritual journey. Frankly, I see a lot of this as being done solo. It would be nice, but I am wise enough to know that there is no perfect. It's the journey, not the destination. -R-
Author MadDog Posted May 18, 2006 Author Posted May 18, 2006 It almost sounds like you want a guy. What? Are you saying there aren't girls that have the qualities I listed? I'm sure there must be some out there. I think the former tomboys turned hot kind of fall under that category a lot of times.
kitten chick Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 Shouldn't they be paying to find me? Does being the perfect guy/girl include them thinking that you are the perfect girl/guy?
Author MadDog Posted May 18, 2006 Author Posted May 18, 2006 Shouldn't they be paying to find me? Does being the perfect guy/girl include them thinking that you are the perfect girl/guy? Yeah. You two would be a great match so they'd be really into you (e.g. think you are perfect for them.)
Spiderman Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I keeping getting with guys that think I'll change - how creepy is that? Very creepy! You shouldn't have to change yourself, may have to compromise a little, but don't ever change yourself!
Walk Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 What? Are you saying there aren't girls that have the qualities I listed? I'm sure there must be some out there. I think the former tomboys turned hot kind of fall under that category a lot of times. I think you could find someone with all of those traits, but maybe not 100% of the time. Hopefully it'd be 90% or up. It sounds like you have a really good understanding of what you're looking for in a SO. I think that's the most important part, if you want to know when you've actually found that "perfect" someone. Seems like I meet a lot of people who say they want the perfect person, but have no idea what they're really looking for, or what perfect to them would be. You won't find it if you don't know what you're looking for. So, if I set you up on one date with your "perfect" woman, how much would you pay me???? (my cousins are models! You can choose the brunette or the blonde. I'll start the bidding at $500,000. )
Whitt Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 The last guy thought I would actualy change my mind about wanting to get married someday. He was saying he wanted to be with me forever, but doesn't want to ever be married. He tried to rebutt my reasons for wanting to get married to someone someday.
Author MadDog Posted May 18, 2006 Author Posted May 18, 2006 So, if I set you up on one date with your "perfect" woman, how much would you pay me???? (my cousins are models! You can choose the brunette or the blonde. I'll start the bidding at $500,000. ) I said $100,000. Sure, send their pictures over. Then again, by the time I have that kind of money, they'll be several years older so maybe not.
Pyro Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 I don't know, i will have to ask Alexandra and KC for that answer.
Alexandra Posted May 18, 2006 Posted May 18, 2006 What? Are you saying there aren't girls that have the qualities I listed? I'm sure there must be some out there. I think the former tomboys turned hot kind of fall under that category a lot of times. Yeah there are, I was pulling your leg. I'm sure you'll find her, but do you know what's more? I'm sure you'll THINK you found them all. All it takes is a good hard old fashioned falling-in-love for her to be "perfect";) Riddler I'm taken hon and I'm old:)
