There was a ?HUSBAND SHOPPING CENTER? where a woman could go to choose a husband from among many men. It was laid out in five floors, with the men increasing in positive attributes as you ascended up the floors. The only rule was that once you opened the door to any floor, you must choose a man from that floor and if you went up a floor you couldn?t go back down to choose another man.

First floor

The door had a sign saying: ?THESE MEN HAVE JOBS AND LOVE KIDS?. The women read the sign and said, ?Well that?s better than not having jobs or not loving kids, but I wonder what?s further up?? So up they went.

Second floor

The door had a sign saying: ?THESE MEN HAVE HIGH PAYING JOBS, LOVE KIDS AND ARE EXTREMELY GOOD-LOOKING?. ?Hmmm,? said the women. ?But...I wonder what?s further up??

Third floor

The door had a sign saying: ?THESE MEN HAVE HIGH PAYING JOBS, LOVE KIDS, ARE EXTREMELY GOOD-LOOKING AND HELP WITH THE HOUSEWORK?. ?Wow!? said the women. ?Very tempting, BUT, there?s more further up!? And up they went.

Fourth floor

The door had a sign saying: ?THESE MEN HAVE HIGH PAYING JOBS, LOVE KIDS, ARE EXTERMELY GOOD-LOOKING, HELP WITH THE HOUSEWORK AND HAVE A STRONG ROMANTIC STREAK?. ?Oh mercy me! But just think! What must be awaiting us further up!?!? So up to the fifth floor they went.

Fifth floor

The sign on the door said: ?THIS FLOOR IS JUST TO PROVE THAT WOMEN ARE IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE.

PLEASE EXIT THE BUILDING AND HAVE A NICE DAY.?

Well, this supposed to be a joke, but in real life, when it comes to relationship, how many women would settled at the first couple floors?

I must say i would find myself kicked out of the fifth floor, :-) point is that we arent perfect, we all have flaws but why we all keep looking for perfect mate.. i mean not perfect mate on earth and for everyone, not a prince charming who has everything but just perfect only for ourself, everything about him is just so right ...... !!

What if someone initially seemed right but after the relationship starts to get serious, we often find reasons not to continue, we tend to find his flaws coming to the surface and to the extent. Finally it's time to move on again....

Or the worse case what if we decided to just settle with an "ok" guy as temporary substitute while waiting for something better to come and we realize deep down in our heart that Mr. Right is out there somewhere, somehow its just a matter of time that we might reach him..............I know this one sounds bad (

Or should we hold it all back and hoping that one day we will meet Mr. Right?...... Sounds like a long journey.

Are we, women just being selfish? Is this also applied to guys?

We all want a perfect Mr/Mrs Right in our lives, so it's not exactly selfish.. if you you're looking for a type of guy you desire then so be it :-), but as you said, it's a matter of searching for one.. It's a journey worth waiting for if you're the patient type :-)

Kluai, do u ve also a basement in ur shopping center? ;-)

I would choose the man from basement though , I need no prince

That's cool text , you are really lovely

arranged marriage!

quick and easy like McDonald, who knows, you might get a Burger King!!! ; )

hehheee

hmm, that's weird Admin Tom! I took too long writing the comment above, so when I posted it I was told I was logged out. I copied my text, logged back in, but it is here already, just without my username.

Oh one other thing. That small attempt to describe love after the drug wears off might sound boring to many people, especially in their early 20s And I absolutely agree there is nothing like the thrill of falling in love and those first months or years. But almost everybody grows eventually into wanting something beyond that thrill, something that lasts longer and is deeply satisfying in its own way. Only you can tell when you're tired of that kind of thrill-seeking and want to move into a much longer adventure And it really can be an adventure, because it is the responsibility of both people in the relationship to keep it growing in a positive way, and it can be damn hard and require lots of work.

That's a great joke with a touch of reality mixed in. If we "settle" for someone, our expectations are too high maybe. "If you look at the finger pointing to the moon, you will miss all the heavenly glory" Bruce Lee. We need to know ourselves really well in order to find our soulmate or we have nothing to compare them to.

@Ling ...........Is this Kitty's journal or yours ?

@Bobby - - - you have always nice words of love ....

lol BBBBBKK you are so bad!!! I had big laugh.. thank you all for your comment. I appreciate it.

why searching so far when the answer is very near!

OK, you told me to read this post and I do.... All I can give you is an old American proverb;... "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.... Until you have to mow it".....

I think we are all sailing through life seeking that perfect match. I for one can say I have probably passed up a few good ones that I should have stayed with... It think you have to be ready to "settle", if that is a good word. Once you make your decision it is important to TRY and make it work......

Hi Kitty I found you on this website. You sound great. I'm American, living & working upcountry (Thailand). I come to Bangkok often & would love to have a special friend to invite for dinner, some shopping, etc. I'm not into bars or "baby" girls... 30+ is the perfect age for "woman". I haven't had time to post a photo so I can't send you a message. You can contact me via Hotmail. I hope to hear from you. Have fun
