Answer 8

there is no such thing as "perfect" nothing is ever going to be enough, we as humans will only want more.

i think i would want something that is satisfaction. and yes there are some flaws we should accept and some that do need to change.

change like abuse

accept things like talking too much.

i think wanting  "poerfection" in ure significant other is built up by the abscense of the oppsite gender parent. u build up a perfect man, than u forget that all of them, us, have flaws....God made each n everyone of us a mate that will last us forever, its up to us to decide who is right for us. what God joins in his name, none can ever break

Answer 10

I dont think there is such a thing as perfection.

As far as fixing flaws in your partner, sometimes the flaw is something they want to fix as well whether it be in their personality or in their looks so in that case some in encourge and support towards them is great.

If they dont want to change it then you shouldnt force it. You should be with somebody because you love them not because they are great but would be better if they changed this or that.

Answer 11

i don't think perfection exists. and people should accept the flaws because everyone has them. :]
