The definition of the word mate, according to Dictionary.com, is a partner or one of a pair. The perfect mate is something that cannot be achieved but you can strive for. Knowing what characteristics, you like in a mate will help you find someone close to perfect for you. Perfect (free from all faults) characteristics are not what I look for, I look for ideal (most suitable) characteristics in a guy. In this essay I talk about what I look for in a guy compared to what my parents want in a husband for me.
I have a couple qualities that are extremely important for my future husband to possess. One of the most important qualities is that he is a Christian guy that loves God with all his heart. This Godly guy has to treat me, my family and friends with respect. It is really important for him to understand my sarcasm because I don’t want someone that will easily get offended. He needs to have a great sense of humor because one of my favorite things to do is laugh. Also someone that will

stand by me through the enjoyable and terrible times is a major factor. A man who wants to have a family eventually in life and has a love for children is something that definitely catches my attention. In our relationship we should consistently be learning new things about each other and have that desire to know more. As for physical characteristics a guy that: is healthy, taller than me and has a good smile. Brown eyes would definitely be a great bonus. When I read what my parents had written about my future mate I was surprised at how similar they were to my paper. A few characteristics that my parents agree are important in a future spouse for me are: the ability to balance work and fun, hard worker and is passionate about what he does. Both of my parents stated that it is important to have a guy that is not overly clingy and always demanding for my attention over others. My dad pointed out that a guy that is well educated (doesn’t have to be a genius) would best suit me. My mom explained that she wants a guy that will help pick me up when I’m down and always be there to support me is a great quality. Over all my parents said that this future guy has to always point me towards God and to help strengthen my relationship with Him. I agree completely with my parents on these qualities.
The main characteristic that my parents and I agreed on was that he has to be a guy that allows God to be in the center of our relationship. Another point that we all made was that this guy should be open to new experiences, always willing to try new things. Something that my parents pointed out to me that I think is great is that this guy should love me for all my flaws and accept me for me. I feel like my parents and I have the same general idea for the guy that I would like my future husband to be.
I know that I will never find a perfect mate so that is why I’m looking for my ideal mate. Someone who will love me unconditionally, has a great sense humor and has a relationship with God. Through this I have learned a lot from my parents about what to look for in a future husband. I also learned a lot about myself and what I truly want in a guy. I would really encourage you to write down what you look for in your ideal
mate.
Perfect: adj. ˈpər-fikt 1. Entirely without any flaws, defects, or shortcomings, is the first definition you find on dictionary.com for the word (perfect). Is this actually possible to attain? Has anyone actually ever been perfect? Or is it all in the eye of the beholder? These questions are asked by almost every girl, as we dream to one day reach the unattainable. This is especially true at the tender age of fifteen, where nothing seems to be going right with our bodies and everything is changing in us. This poem stresses the fact that as everyone realizes how unrealistic this dream is, the knowledge makes no difference to the wish. Marisa de los Santos comments on this in her poem “Perfect Dress”. The use of verbose imagery, metaphors, and the simplistic approach are very effective in portraying the awkward adolescent stage of a young woman and the unrealistic dream of being perfect.

The idea of the ‘perfect woman’ is one that has been a popular topic of discussion over the past decade. Unreal Celebrity Photoshop Transformations was a video revealed on YouTube and Buzzfeed on January 7th 2014. The purpose was to educate the public on the effects altered photos has on society.

...portant backgrounds and personal traits that a woman must have to be ideal. In general, she must be very devoted to her lover, keeping him in her priority and always being considerate towards him, and must not be concerned with his treatment of her. As for men, the ideal traits were defined within Genji himself and included his love for those he devoted himself to despite appearance, and the natural gifts of elegance that he was bestowed. Together, the handbook for perfect beings was written and recorded in Japanese history, and surely influenced the Heian society that is was written for.
The idea of perfection is completely individual. We base our idea of perfection on our interest, abilities, and style. What may be perfection to someone is totally not perfection to another. For example, Zeke Cohen in Ms. EN’s four red class discussion said, “My friends like blondes and I like red heads because we see perfection differently.” Although this is a silly example, it is one-hundred percent true. What are we really reaching for if everyone is reaching for something different? This is what makes perfection confusing. One person is reaching for their “perfection” while another is reaching for a total different “perfection”.
...ience true perfection. Since an ideal can never hold up to a reality, nothing can be truly perfect.

I would like to believe that I am most accurately described as a nurturing, compassionate, and loving boyfriend. All too often my ears pick up on the conversations of people declaring that I am all of these qualities and many more, no conceit intended.
I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. A wife who will pick up after my children, a wife who will pick up after me. I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean, ironed, mended, replaced when need be, and who will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find what I need the minute I need it.
I agree with most of the desirable and undesirable characteristics of a potential mate listed in the textbook. However, I would also list another important undesirable characteristic a potential mate is having poor communication styles. We talked a lot in one of the discussion board posts last week the importance of communication and how to communicate in a relationship. In fact, I had an experience where I went on a date with a friend of mine and I ended it because of his lack of or poor communication skills. I highly value making communication a priority in a relationship because it brings balance and you get to know your spouse better by it. Overall, I agree with the desirable and undesirable characteristics in a potential mate listed in
Although not everyone considers taking the next step towards marriage, it can be concluded that there are many dimensions in a relationship. When living with your significant other, you will have to deal with the economical aspect of the household. The finances have to either be equally shared and earned or controlled by one person. Another dimension you have to take under consideration is the emotional aspect of the relationship. Good communication amongst each other will help your relationship thrive. The power aspect of the relationship must be equally distributed. This dimension is very important because you are able to show respect towards one another and not feel inferior towards your partner. You also have sexuality, chores and leisure activities, and boundaries that you must respect when it comes to your significant other. It can be concluded that all of these different dimensions are prime examples on how difficult a relationship can
