I Think She’s Perfect … Well Not Really

She was special. At least that’s what I initially thought. She was beautiful, smart, funny—basically everything that I could have ever hoped for in a woman. There was just one problem…
I hated her voice.
And when I say hate, I don’t mean it from the perspective of, “I know she’s gonna nag me so I hate to hear her talk.” … No, it was much deeper than that. It was actually physically painful for me to hear her speak. Her voice was semi-deep, nasally, coarse—she basically sounded like this weird mix of Nell Carter meets Smurfette meets Keyshia Cole’s mom Frankie. (weird right?)
At first, I thought I could overlook it, but the more we went out, the more I realized that I just couldn’t get past it. So I quickly put an end to things.
Was I wrong for my decision? Am I the only one guilty of ending a relationships based on something so trivial?
As I wrestled with this thought, I decided to ask a few of my friends to see if they’d ever had a similar experience. Here are some of my favorite responses:

He ate pancakes like a caveman. Slurped his coffee. Never used a knife or a fork for anything.
One guy had woman hands. His hands were smaller than mine and his fingernails were longer than most guys. I gagged when I got a good look at them. We were done.
He refused to bless the food before our meal… :/
Once, there was a sweet, handsome, tall, and charming guy.
Once he took his shirt off, I knew I would not be seeing him again.

*ewww*
lol…you shoulda took him to the gym and bought him a razor.
I don’t think that is trivial. I think it is wise to know when something bothers you for whatever reason. It’s not like you are sentencing her to death because of it or even making any kind of judgment whatsoever. She just isn’t the one for you.
I write a blog about how men can better love their ladies. I hope you all will check it out. It’s great for single women as well to see what they should expect from a good man.

Thanks
I had to end it bc he let me walk right over him.. There is nothing I despise more than a pushover of a man..
That’s not trivial…he was….hmmmmm, how can I put this delicately…….a punk.
He wore colored contacts to our 2nd date…a red flag and definitely suspect!
My current love has annoying habits But as do I so we call it out to each other & cut it out. But a few yrs ago I dated this guy(wasn’t my Man,he never earned that much) who was suppose 2 be a producer.he would play his beats so loud & all nite I felt bad for his mama plus he spoke 2 her lik dog shit. Their apartment was full of roaches! I mean lights off turn em bac on kitchen is roach city! He was cool But I was jolly as a fat man to rid myself of him 4 good.
OMG at the girl who got cut by the razor toenails. I laughed sooo hard at that.
When I was single…….and one night out with some friends……I met this woman. Baby girl was prettier than the ‘Mona Lisa’. Beautiful smile and bubbly personality. The deal breaker: she had two left feet…….couldn’t dance if she was paid to! How can you be a woman…..a black woman and NOT……know how to dance, not even “Two Step?”………………
@neil… I am black female & my fellow negros tell me I can’t dance either. If u are havin a great time does it really matter??? I think ur just 2 prideful & worried about what others will say. She could be the ONE but ur skippin her over dance moves!? Lol
He outgrew a pair of his jeans and gave them to me….I could actually fit them with room to spare and I’m a size 26 (waist). Boyfriend jeans….cool. But in the next size up from my jeans….no!
I don’t know why I can’t stop laughing at this one.
first date, movie at his house, told me to relax, close my eyes and he was going to give me a foot massage. i loved the thought because my feet needed some lovin’. problem? about 1 minute into the foot massage and i felt his wet, warm mouth on my foot. no thank you.
He must of had a foot fetish.
that shit is hilarious! how u just gon feel your foot all up in someone’s mouth out of nowhere lol
I had to end a blind date years ago with this guy who crazy razor bumps on the back of my neck. He drove 30 minutes out to take me to the Wendy’s drive thru at my request. I couldn’t sit through dinner with that neck!
I had afriend when I was a teenager who I spoke to for six months without meeting. When I met him he just looked really funny and I couldn’t get past it. I hated to be mean, but the friendship ended.
I don’t think you’re wrong on the voice thing. My friend set me up on a blind date with this guy. We went on a date and his voice was a little too effeminate for me. I stopped taking his calls.
-I met a handsome guy at a club. We exchanged numbers and when we started talking on the phone I was immediately turned off. He laughed with his mouth closed and every other word out of his mouth was N***a. That was it for me..
By the way I’m still laughing at the razor toenails.
Not only did I get a great laugh, I learned that many of my experiences were not also vain or ridiculous either..and I say that, because no matter how small the issue whether it’s sharp toe nails, or man boobs etc. it was something that made ya’ll uncomfortable. And HONESTLY, those little things don’t matter when you’re really feeling someone,BUT there are some things you just aren’t willing to over look. When you meet the right one for you, there won’t be things you want to change! for example “I really like him, but if he just lost 20 lbs and went to the gym to get rid of man boobs”. The person for you isn’t perfect, but you’ll accept them flaws and all. Maybe they sing in the shower extra loud, or always forget to put the seat down. IF you’re willing to look past those things you have somethin, if you simply can’t then stand in your decision and move along.
I met a guy who seemed to be exactly what I have been waiting for (accept he was overweight) and I like thin and tall men. At the end of the day I had to let it go, because I just wasn’t physically attracted to him. He had a pear shape. After I got rid of him, I realized it wasn’t jsut his weight, but other things about him and I just used the weight as an excuse. I guarantee if I met a guy who was over weight, but head over heels for, his weight wouldn’t be the issue. I just think sometimes we don’t look at the bigger picture. Another example I met a guy with a daughter and I liked him, but just didn’t want to be involved with a guy who had a child. I thought we’d make a perfect couple if he had no children and quickly ended it. A few months later I met a guy who had twin girls, and the fact he had lil girls wasn’t even an issue at all. It was because I liked him that much, and accepted that he came with a package deal. What do you all think of that?
Man….some of y’all pass up otherwise perfectly imperfect people over trivial stuff.
I mean, weight can be lost, toenails can be cut (why not take him to get a pedicure?), and razor bumps can be gotten rid of. Hell, I have acne, and I recently started taking Accutane. But I know that once the acne goes away and I magically start getting more play from some of these shallow women out here that used to think I was ugly…..I’m gonna know they’re up to something. lol
i once broke up with this beautiful girl.. she loved the hell out of me… but when she talked her spit in her mouth would stretch from the top to bottom… and i would think to my self… eeewww… why do you have so much spit in your mouth and why is it so thick… so long story short i had to leave her…
THAT is a deal -breaker! YUK!!!
Omg i once dated this guy with some scary ass teeth..i secretly called him hammer teeth..i don’t understand how you could have a mouth full of sharp ass fangs …i really tried to look pass his immperfections but then i saw the real him he didn’t have a “real” job, he worked at target because passed playing basketball for Georgetown, had addiction to video games, smoked weed, and lived at home…i had to let that one go
LOL @ Frank. I would have let that go too. ewww
it is deff important THAT You date someone that you truly want, they ain’t going to be perfect you have to put differences aside and be one together sometimes but it seems almost like “WTF?, IF YOU TRULY WANTED HER / HIM YOU SHOULD’VE STAYED WITH THEM” in a typical way it looks pathetic but the thing is at the end of the day it is about you first, because you are allowng someone in your life if something doesn’t please you at first, whatever the reason might be end it before it’s too late and you break someone’s heart for no reason it’s all about honesty , knowing what you want for yourself and then regconizing if someone fit your shoes, after all we all have a type doe? :)
I was my first date with guy I had met and was tryna decided if i was interested in him. We went to the movies but midway through the second movie trailer he told me he was going to look for a manager to ask if they could turn the volumne down in the theatre….I made my decision in that instant lol
