The text we read on Thursday was a "walk in the clouds", as far as I am concerned. In my experience, no one I have ever known was white, college-educated, nurturing, etc. That is an ideal, and like most women, that would be something I would find very appealing. However, as Brooke asked, why haven't we found him? I think the text and society in general found something on a sitcom, or some other type of show, and decided that that was the way it should be, so let's adopt it! Let's pretend that this ideal is something attainable, desirable, available. If there were more men (no offense guys!) like that, I don't believe there would be as many unhappy and divorced people in the world. And if more women were ideal, too, well.... Hey, this is the "real" world, and as much as I'd like to think that the ideal man exists, I've yet to meet one. Instead of us all looking for something that we all pretty much agree isn't there, let's celebrate who we are as people and don't muddy the waters of logic looking for an unrealistic television view of what they think is "real".
