Are people overtly brain washed to beleive in true love?
I see your point. But I don’t think people go out looking for the generic fairy tale. And anyone who walks around looking at the negative aspects of things that other people find good quality (EG: Good looks = concieted, etc) are people who will never find someone who is good enough or has good enough qualities. Of course we all have bad qualities, and alot of our good qualities come with a down side – thats life. I think too many people make up a list of ‘qualities’ and ‘needs’ that when they find someone who fits the bill, they ignore the bad things for as long as they can. And then when they become unable to ignore them it hits them over the head and they’re all suprised that Mr. Perfect has flaws. But they’ve always been there. I can honestly say I’ve never gone out looking for a guy with a certain set of qualities – and I can tell you now that if I did have a list or a certain set of expectations to be met, I probably never would have pursued my partner. He’s not a knight in shini
