Hello? Prince Charming?

I'm 1000% sure every woman goes through this in their life...the pain in the ass task of finding a decent man worth taking home to your parents. If you really think about it, it shouldn't be that hard. But for me, it's been nearly impossible! I, for one, consider myself pretty old fashioned. I like to get to know a person before jumping in the sack with them and well, it just seems as though men these days are all about the hanky panky. What is with that?! Please tell me I'm not alone when saying that? I've kidded myself by joining a few dating sites. HA! If I didn't re-read the website address, I would have thought I was on some amateur booty call site. It's ridiculous. Now, I'm not taking away from all the genuine men out there because I'm sure there are but, WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU? DID I NOT GET THE MEMO?! Pick up Prince Charming, Aisle Three! Man, alive. The other thing against me in this whole find a soulmate thing, I'm not a size zero nor do I look like Megan Fox or that chick from Pirates of the Caribbean. SIGH. Good looks and materialistic things have taken over the love scene essentially. Well guess what? That is straight BULLSHIT. You could have the most stunningly beautiful woman standing in front of you but she has the personality of a door snob. Who wants to live with that for the rest of their life? Hello, she isn't going to look like forever, sweetheart.

Yikes!

Why not find someone who will pull on your heart strings and make you smile every morning waking up next to them?

I'm going out on a limb here and blame all the books I read for my high standards in a relationship. Not all the relationships I read about are perfect or are meant to be, for that. But they are real life stuff, not fairytale, like Prince Charming and Snow White up there. One where people over come their differences and battle their own demons to see what matters the most in a person. Their inside beauty, their personality, their sense of caring, their sense of reality. That what I want to find. Someone who is going to love me for ME. Not what I look like or how much money I make or what car I drive.
..and if I fail at finding that, then I guess I'll just become a crazy cat lady.

and I don't even like cats.

How you perfected the tricks of the trade to finding the right guy?
