Perfection is an abstract concept, it is never static. The entire premise that is based on a static perfection is false.
Now go get some ass.

LOL! Do I need to share some stories?
If you go out and show 100 women you’re dick and ask 'em if they want to fuck, and 99 say no, well by God, one of 'em said yes!
Does this really work?

Dating? What’s that? Aren’t you in college? Just have fun. Truthfully, I don’t think I’ve ever dated in the traditional sense of, “Hey pretty stranger, I’ll pick you up at 7.” I’ve just hooked up, and a few of those hook-ups have turned into girlfriends along the way.

Love the Revenge of the Nerds reference. Go 80s!
powda –
In the dating world, less analysis and more action is almost always a good thing. Being decisive will help you a lot with all of this – and not just with foopa either… (he doesn’t respect you when you dither like a girl).
Back in my college days you were the guy analyzing and re-analyzing how to “date” chicks and I was the guy who was sleeping with all the chicks that you were figuring out how to “date”
Hell I’m in NY; I might as well go out and have some fun. Bring on the party in the city tonight!
Time to go lift first though b/c I’m going to be a bit too tired to go tommorow.
GO POWDA, stop analyzing,
And also stop trying,
Just do, be young and have fun,
And make sure you finish that bottle of rum!

I agree with apayne. Don’t waste your college years. You will regret it. I know I do.

Where the hell did you get your analysis of perfection? It sounds like you’re trying to recast Augustine’s argument for the unchanging nature of God. That doesn’t apply here. First, when applying the concept of “perfection” to relationships, we must start with the assumption that no human being may be perfect, per se. Rather, a person may be more or less “fit” than another for a given purpose.
So when you colloquially say “she’s perfect for me,” what you mean to say is that she is optimally compatible with your needs at a given moment. As you’ve already pointed out, times and circumstances change, and a relationship is a feedback loop of sorts. A less “perfect” relationship may approach “perfection,” or optimal satisfaction of needs and wants, because the people involved change each other through the course of interacting.
So, in this sense, “perfection” is attainable. In fact, a truly “perfect” woman for you would have a set of characteristics that remained complementary to yours regardless of even the most radical of personality shifts on your part (say, due to a brain tumor or foopa induced injury. She’ll get you back one day). The optimal woman can therefore be dynamic. Further, we cannot reason that there is only one woman that would meet your standard of “perfection,” as we have not considered what qualities are necessary to be optimal.
Now, were we talking metaphysically, we might say that perfection is that state wherein it would be impossible to either add or subtract without impairing the whole. And when speaking of, say, God, there is some reason behind this, as a perfect God must necessarily be purposeful in all of his aspects. But we aren’t talking about God, we’re talking about human beings (who we’ve admitted are necessarily imperfect), and their fitness for a purpose.
Whether a woman has one more or less hair on her head, for instance, will not impact your attraction for her. We might therefore examine each quality a woman might possess, and determine if each is material to you. I think that if we were to make a serious effort on this path, we would find a very general description that would fit thousands of women, of not hundreds of thousands.
Or, you might just be a really freaking picky bastard, in which case, sucks to be you.
- Wtf did you post this in “get a life” for, when obviously this is a Sex and the Male Animal question? OOoooh, now I see. Nevermind.

That was YOU???
I used to think women wanted all that dating stuff. I was analysing, doing all that stuff you seem to do.
Then someone told me women are just the same as men. At the end of the day, most of them just want to screw, only they need a reason to. After all, a guy that sleeps with lots of women is a god or pimp or whatever, and a woman that sleeps with a lot of men is a hoe.
When I stopped worrying about looking good and dating and all that stuff and just had fun, I got offers all over the place. And hell, I dont even look all that great.
Just stop thinking about it.

Try being married…Dating is for wimps.

I’m speechless. The fact that you would have poetry like this running through your head is ridiculous. The fact that you shared it with the rest of us is…
this thread… i’m at once repulsed and yet strangely attracted…
i feel so, so confused…
i thought i’d take just one little peek into th’ 5lb. bottle of this thread but now i find myself blinded by white, sucked for evermore into the infinite magical quiksand that is
the world of proteinpowda !!!
:-0 “oh my!! we’ve lost him to powda !”
…
but first -uh…
are you powda’d ?
uh-have you ever been powda’d-uh ?..

For some reason the phrase “you’ve been powda’d” seems like it might stick. Throw that in the T-Nation alphabet soup.
Ahh the lexicon of the T-Nation forums.
