So here's my rant.

I will start off by saying that idea of "perfect" doesn't exist. Unless you are using a ruler to draw a straight line or measurements, but something as subjective as "perfect partner" to me is just what I find "ideal." Perfection is such a silly adjective when it comes to people because, as Osgood says at the end of Some Like It Hot, "Well, nobody's perfect." You need to accept a person for, not only their superficial appearance, but also their flaws and quirks.

That isn't to say that there isn't room for growth and fulfilling desires/goals.

People seeking "perfect" are the one who bought their rose-colored glasses from a dollar store rather than getting prescription ones to see things clearly.

However, and this may sound contradictory, perfect is subjective. It is when you look at your partner, seeing their outward and inner beauty, recognizing their flaws, smile at their quirks, tolerate the volume of their snoring, not taking out the trash bin to the curb, forgetting to change the toilet roll, and accepting them. Perfect is when you are looking at them and just simply knowing you two (or however many partners) made the right choice or happy that you are still growing to learn this person(s).
