Pink Sparrow 2006-09-08 ch 1,	abuseOk, I'm sorry, but somehow I don't think you'll find your 'perfect girl' but I guess no one will ever really find their perfect person, hopefully we can all come close though. It was well written I guess. The end is cute. I guess we all keep looking even though we know we might not find them.
iknowthethirdthingaboutpoet... 2006-03-12 ch 1,	abuseDamn. In other words, you want the feminine version of God. Or a Mary Sue. It's only fair, I guess; we girls demand a lot in our "Ode to Nice Guys," which is sort of analogous to this except for not really. The only suggestion I have is to spell out "okay." Your current preference peeves the heck out of me.
Aria Leigh 2005-08-03 ch 1,	abuseWell this is an interesting work, as it seemed oddly familiar to a description of myself. Perhaps I am being conceited.I myself, have long red hair, though perhaps not a deep auburn red, but everyone desires my color. Freckles on both cheeks and more. I wear reading glasses, though they're not square, nor do they slide down my nose (the nose pieces grip lol). I do my best to be kind and compassionate (the other day a friend of mine told me about some baby ducklings he had 'accidentally' run over and I burst into tears). I think I'm intelligent (nearly straight A's would dictate it in book smarts). I don't actually know the meaning of esoteric (perhaps I should look it up?) but I'm open minded to learning new things. I like role playing games (perhaps not table, but computer and masquerade role playing), I enjoy video games (not all but some). Perhaps I shouldn't even be responding to your writing this way because I am in a relationship that I cherish, but I just thought you should know that your description bears an astonishing resemblance to myself. Good work. lol
dyers-eve 2005-06-08 ch 1,	abuseDo you want the world with all that? It's a lot to be wishing for. Still pretty thought provoking, i might do my perfect Boy...
Tullia 2005-04-15 ch 3,	abuseIt's nice to know that guys have standards. I mean, there are a lot of guys who seem to fall for any pretty face. In my mind, your perfect girl has standards set that are as close to you as yours are to hers. I have to admit that very few males of the species do not seem to enjoy a good intelectual conversation, or to believe in any sort of chivalry. Your essay was very refreshing to someone like me, who is tired of waiting for someone(up to her standards)she has decided doesn't have a chance of existing, and tired of seeing her friends continually pair off. Even if your perfect girl doesn't have red hair or freckles, you'll know her when you see her. Trust me, I know she exists.
Brooke ORiley 2005-01-15 ch 1,	abusei'm probably only repeating what you've already hear here, but i feel i must say it. first off, i sincerely hope you do find your perfect girl; no doubt she's out there somewhere. to those who'll say "what makes you deserve her?" -a few points. one, some of the things you're concerned with say quite clearly that you would really care about her, and i think that's basically answer enough. but also, there's a good quote from a movie i particularly like...see if i can remember it. "you don't deserve a woman like her." "Father, if we men married the women we deserved, we'd have a rough time of it." i liked that. so basically there's just one thing to watch out for...your desires may change, or you may not recognize their fulfillment at first. so don't make the mistake of holding girls up to this image...someday you'll find the perfect girl, and you'll come back and look at this and be amazed to realize that the girl you've actually found is even better than the one you imagined.
StaccattoToccata 2004-12-28 ch 1,	abuseFollowing your suggestion, I did in fact read this work (the second draft, at least) and found it very interesting, but I find your concept a bit extreme. Not your notion for a perfect woman, as I feel that each and every person does have some idea of the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with, but the fact that she exists at all. You have a delightful fantasy, which is perfect for just that, fantasy. It's my belief that every man should have an ideal, a dream, to hold close to his heart and believe in, but also that the purpose of this dream is to never come true. Everyone eventually tires of what they have seen before, and the wonder of the event, action or person will fade in time, replaced by something else. Whatever goal one sets for him or herself, it must not be reached or it will be replaced with a new dream. What you have effectively done is ensure that (because you have so specifically identified the person you want to be with) whomever you DO end up with will always be second best to a fantasy that cannot be true. If this dream girl were to exist, you would tire of her quickly, as she would never be as fantastic as you dream, or even if she was, you would quickly tire and fantasize about another person, perhaps a blonde this time. I do not mean to crush a dream, but simply to offer another possible view you may wish to consider.
curiouserxcuriouser 2004-12-27 ch 1,	abuseAw. That was so sweet. Very nice! I wish all guys were as honest as you. :3 You totally deserve your "perfect" girl.
TentativeBoredom 2004-12-27 ch 1,	abuseI liked this. All I have to say is, don't spend too much time looking through blinders for this perfect girl and ignoring others around you that are more perfect than you may expect. In my case, I recently found somebody that I love more than I have ever loved anybody before, that is so amazingly perfect for me, that same person though a year ago, i wouldn't have even considered, because i had known him for a long time, but hadn't gotten a real chance to know him yet.
Lalaria Shamir 2004-12-26 ch 3,	abuseYou may have some high standards but I believe there has to be a girl out there like that for you. Good luck!
hope 4 all 2004-12-17 ch 1,	abusecarry on looking! i am sure u will find her 1 day! :)
gangster-dolly 2004-12-17 ch 1,	abuseI hope you do, I really do. Because I have found mine. It is amazing, just knowing the love you feel for them is coming back in return; from all different directions. Excellent essay. Well written, and something I hadn't expected, I suppose. Enjoyed whole-heartedly. gangster-dolly
Formerly 2004-12-16 ch 3,	abuseEh... your writing's good, pretty much. Not really any flaws in that. My earlier comment, that your standards are too high, still holds. Of course, you're just describing your perfect (therefore probably nonexistent) girl, right? I mean, I could write three pages on the subject, but I'd really settle for someone I simply like - you can speculate as much as you like, as long as you don't set your standards by speculating. Incidentally: When I said that I'd found the girl of my dreams and lost her... I was being overly melodramatic. Yeah, I actually did, sort of - certainly I've never met anyone else who matches my particular tastes and personality so well, but I wasn't particularly crushed when it happened. I was, however, not in the most cheerful or objective of moods when I reviewed that piece, and wrote it in almost accidentally since your essay made my thoughts veer in that direction...
pandora505 2004-12-15 ch 1,	abuseIt was nicely written, although I have to disagree with the theme of it. I don't understand how people can plan out who they're going to fall in love with. It always seems to just happen for me, regardless of what I might think I'm looking for.
VDraconis 2004-12-14 ch 1,	abuseSadly, you want perfection... or near it. At least there's a higher focus (and priority, I assume) on personality... but as I said, you want damn-well near close to perfection. The question is... why would she like you?
