Does the perfect man really exist ? An eternal question that has haunted women for many years. In case you havenโt noticed, the media has constantly been portrayingย Prince Charming, an unknown creature that we have not encountered yet. This is evidence why he doesnโt exist:
1. He didnโt send that morning/night text
โEl ehtmam mabytlebeshโ. Most women want to see daily signs of care, signs that show that her partner has been thinking about her. The thing is they canโt ask for it; it needs to come naturally and this is where the blame game starts.
2. He is too busy impressing other girls
Itโs not that we are cheaters but all women are beautiful so we canโt just have one, right? Wrong. For a second there we were charmed, but we are still not buying it. Some men are just never satisfied with one lady.
3. He doesnโt have the same taste in music
When it comes to music, itโs deadly-serious if thereโs a mismatch. You need to trust that guy with the AUX cord; otherwise you will be bored to death on your future road trips.
4. He is overprotective or controlling or jealous
How many times have you seen a couple and wondered whether this is supposed to be a partnership rather than a relationship guided by the maleโs requests? (hint: Nelly Kareem in her latest Ramadan series). And the excuse behind the excessive controlling is always the same: I’m just protecting you. Please chill.
5. โ3ashan ana ragelโ
Since we live in a double-standard society, being a man is basically a green light to do many things and some women will just watch and say โBoys will be boysโ.
6. Doesnโt appreciate your sense of style
โHatenzeli keda?โ According to one girl we spoke to, a partner judging her sense of style is a big no. Andย no, it is not only restricted to revealing clothes (hence: the protection excuse) but sometimes it can be a mocking of her sense of style in general.
7. He doesnโt give you his jacket or get you flowers
Letโs face it, some women wait for these gestures to happen. They are signs thatย prove his love to her.
Thereโs no such thing as THE perfect match but at the end of the day, there will be someone that you would be gladly willing to enjoy and endure his good and bad side. And remember, you shouldnโt feel any pressure to find your soulmate, maybe oneโsย happiness can be engraved in her/his solitude (there are no rules).ย PS: Obsess less about finding the perfect match and being the perfect you only then,ย that you would feel satisfied and whole.
