My personal thoughts...
You must fall in love with all his imperfections, in order to find perfection.
Not all girls are the same, but I have seen some girls try to change the way a guy dresses, or how often they go out alone with their friends... I think this is an unconsious move on a woman's part when they see you as "ideal" in every other way.
I'm 29 and I have learned that in order to be happy and have a great relationship, you have to find a man that you love everything about in the beginning. When even 1 thing about them bothers you in the beginning, it will be the one thing that a woman feels like she should try to change.
Maybe this comes with age and maturity, but "women need to remember that men had/have a life that they enjoyed before we came into it, and women need to find a way to "fit" into that life, not try to control the aspects that may bother them.
I hear a lot of people say "Don't settle", and you know what? They are very right! Your ideal partner should be EVERYTHING that you want, and nothing about them should be a dislike.
I was lucky enough to find someone who I view as "perfect" through my eyes; and he still thinks that eventually I will try and change him in some way... My response to him~ I can't change someone who is already everything I want in a partner. As for him spending time with his friends~ I'm his girlfriend and not his keeper. I told him that the only thing that should change is that now he has a girlfriend to spend time with :)
Nobody should change for anyone~ If they want you to, then maybe they are not the one for you :)

lol. I beg to differ. I don't want to mother my boyfriend, I want a relationship with him. big difference! everyone has to compromise a bit and meet on middle ground if you want things to work though. that is just being a good person, not changing people. :)

I don't feel that way. A lot of women that I know want to mold the perfect guy. I think it's because they're insecure and want to have Prince Charming. I've also found that women love to be that girl that a man changed for. That way they can brag that he could've had anyone, but just wanted her, and that he was willing to change for her. It's really about ego.
A lot of the time a girl falls in love with the guy. They want him. But there's one part of them that they can't live with. Because it annoys them, it's dangerous... I've experienced that with a boy who was depressed who I thought I could help. But you can't always. You can't fix people. You know that in the back of your mind but you keep trying because you want them
In my opinion from watching my sister in her relationship most girls do this because they either know they can't do better so they try to change a man into something they want. Or they don't want to jump from relationship to relationship they just want that one perfect relationship which means changing how the man acts and looks etc.. Not all girls do this this is just from what I observe with my sister.
You really shouldn't assume that every woman is the same. I have never viewed a man as a "project" as I would be dating him for his existing qualities and the way he is.
Perhaps it's because they want to help someone to become a better version of themselves. The woman may enjoy being a part of someone's recovery time.
They wanna be able to say they achieved something or that they helped someone become what they are now
I would never dream of dating someone with the intention of changing him. You should adore the person you are with the way they are, if you want someone different... Well then... You're probably dating the wrong person ):
ridiculous question. when you spend time with someone you're going to bound to change and influence one another
I don't get that either. When a guy tries to make projects out of their women the guy comes off as controlling.
Sure there are things every couple wants to change, good or bad. But, if a girl is trying to make a project out of you rather than accept and love you as you are, leave her in the dust where she belongs.
Because they don't know how to love. Because they see the potential in you.
That's not always true. In sons cases you may be right, but my boyfriend and I have now been together for almost a year and I love him for who he is. He doesn't need to change at all!
I hate women that do that I think you should find someone that seems almost perfect to you. You don't want to make someone change because that's not who they really are
I gather your heartbroken because of this. But the truth is that some women are bitches!!!!!!
I have no clue but it's wrong
well my opinion is what girl does that obviously doesnt love there partner and very childish
I don't know---I like my partner the way he is.
they are just afraid of being hurt
