I'm sorry but I did actually mention that what woman wouldn't want to aim for such a partner? My point was whether she was sticking rigidly to such a criteria or whether she could accept that she may not meet anyone who ticks all "the boxes". She has a right to "dream" (hey, even I dream of the "perfect partner" - But I am aware that she does not exist). I didn't say she doesn't have the right to "dream". In my opinion a woman has the right to dress around in a chicken costume and do cartwheels in a shopping centre for all I care.

But I maintain my opinion that there is a lot of shallowness out there (as a disclaimer I would like to say that there are a lot, and I mean a lot, of shallow and quite frankly arrogant men in this world too). My main point was that I believe that expressions such as "Mr Right" and "The One" are myths perpetuated by Hollywood and the Brit-Flic Rom-Com industry (not to mention "Sex in the city" and Cosmopolitan magazine) that only end up leaving thousands of women out there disappointed and let down.

Finally I'd just like to say that calling me a "moron" was not level headed and completely uncalled for. I did not finger wag at the poster and directly call her "shallow". I made the suggestion that while there are tons of creeps and scumbags out there, could shallowness and unrealistic expectations among many young women (something I've noticed that is very common in London) also contribute to this grievance? Could inability to find certain partners actually be down, in part and not in whole, to the individuals themselves and not just exclusively the people that they meet?

Just an idea.
