Have you ever had a 98% good man, damn near perfect, just missing that last 2%? Watching Katt William's American Hustle last night got me to thinking about that. For those of you who haven't seen American Hustle, it is a stand-up comedy movie featuring Katt Williams, the comedian/actor/rapper(?). While performing his stand-up routine Mr. Williams comments on how women are looking for perfection in a man and may give a good man who is 98% (damn near perfect) in order to search for someone with who is 100% perfect. Then in the end they end up with a man who is only around 71%...lol. Watching this made me realize how women do sometimes do this. You may have a man who worships the ground you walk on, is great in bed, cooks and cleans, who is basically a dream come true but then you throw him back because he doesn't make enough money or maybe he isn't fine enough. You want it all.
I believe that we do deserve it all, but, unfortunately, there is no such thing as perfection. Everyone has flaws. You may meet someone who has those few qualities the man you left was lacking but then he has even more different flaws. We trick ourselves into believing that there is always something better out there, but sometimes that is just not true. Now if you have a man who is only 80%, you may luck up and find someone who is better. You may even get a 95% good man but you could also end up with someone who ranks a lot lower. So before you discard that which you have, keep in mind that you could do worse. Now this is directed to women who have "good" men, just like in school anything lower than an 80 is less than average and you probably could/should upgrade.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to upgrade, like I said we deserve the best. However, often times I see women leave a good man with a few flaws only to end up with an even bigger loser. These women have traded in sugar for sh**. Then once they realize their mistake, they want the other man back but he has often times moved on to a woman who knows his worth. So just be careful what you ask for ladies, because you just might get it.
P.S. Of course this also applies to men, perhaps even more so than to women.

This post was right on time. I had just been thinking about this very thing. He is a great man, but..... I do have sense enough to know that there is no such thing as perfect....sigh....that only exists in books and movies.
