Why you SHOULD date Mr. Wrong

[bryanda2]

It seems that from a young age, we are all stuck on one idea of the kind of person we will spend the rest of our lives with. He has to be doctor, or she has to be into sports, or he has to be 6 feet tall etc etc. As we get older, we have this sometimes unrealistic standard of the type of people we date. We expect them to be "perfect" for us, for us to see them and say "that's the one."

Speaking from exp

erience, I know how comfortable or safe it can be to stick to our "types" and our man or woman of our dreams. I've rejected some guys simply because they don't play soccer, and we all know my "perfect" guy has to play soccer. You fall into this habit of choosing dates that you are familiar with. You allow something so superficial like the way he eats or the color of her hair or any little thing not in line with your "perfect" image to keep you from taking chances and meeting new people. And I get it, taking chances in the dating world is scary stuff, but they're necessary.

In reality, nobody is perfect. We all have our flaws, our quirks, our bad habits. They are what makes us, well, us. When you finally drop the idea that there is only one unrealistic version of who your Mr. Right can be, you begin meeting incredible people who you never would have before. So next time you meet a potential date who you connect with, who is genuinely nice, who respects you, don't make a list of reasons why they aren't Mr. or Mrs. Right, take a leap of faith and get to know them. That Mr. or Mrs. Wrong could turn out to be exactly what you never knew you wanted. :)

While the article shares good advice the title really should be changed when you say Mr. Wrong it gives us the idea that your talking about jerks, losers etc. it really should be done thing like Mr. Realistic or something.

I had a very nice teacher named Mr. Wong I mean I'm sure he's cute to other 40 yr olds but nahh

[DumpliingPrincess]

Haha

[COCOCHANEL]

hehehe !

[Falling4UTC]

CRYING. I LOVE THIS OMJ♡

[DumpliingPrincess]

Lol I'm glad people find this amusing.

[XRabbitHeartX]

I managed to find a guy who is perfect in my eyes. With that said, I've never been as bad as rejecting a guy over a very minor thing like not having the right favorite color or the right favorite food etc etc. But for the more important things such as lifestyle preferences (smoking, drinking, values) and outlook in life I definitely don't see why anyone should compromise. I found a man who ticked all my boxes and have no regrets. It just meant I had to go through more heartbreaks, rejections and break ups in order to finally get to the right man but once again, I'm now VERY thankful for not settling.

This is very true. I was always asked out by these "bad boys" who thinks all girls love them but in reality they get the girls because they are the only ones brave enough to ask us out. After realising this I ended up asking out a "nerd" and guess what we ended up actually sharing a lot of interests and we have been in love for almost 2 years now. And he isn't exactly the standard beauty. Or well he's slightly above 6 feet thats about it but almost all guys here are xD. What I wanna say is that mr right might actually exist and he isn't too far away you might just not be able to see him!

[ManuelMarquez]

That is bull because many nice guys do ask out women but they get rejected

[Elsa2ne1]

Well I've never been asked out by a "nice guy" ever. Only idiots.

[OpenClose]

Good stuff, though Mr. Wrong is an awful strong term for it. It sounds less like you're saying "Keep your mind open for the realistic men around you." and more like you're saying "Here's why you should keep dating the guy who is controlling/abusive/apathetic"

[front2back]

Well, the problem isn't finding Mr. right. That's easy. He meets most of the absolutely necessary qualifications like kindness, caring, etc. but probably doesn't check evwry single "want" box. Mr. perfect checks everything. The problem is, some women confuse who Mr. Right and Mr. perfect, they're two separate guys. so shell either reject Mr. Right since he isn't Mr. perfect, or even worse, get in a relationship with Mr. Right and try to CHANGE him into Mr. Perfect.

To me, Mr. Wrong isn't anyone who's not Mr. Perfect, he's a guy to avoid. He might appear to be Mr. Perfect or Mr. Right but actually isn't. He'll usually end up hurting her if she dates him, too.

[HonestWhiteGuy]

I'd probably be Mr. Apathetic

[EngineeringStudent]

I largely agree, but that's not really dating "Mr. Wrong". It's moreso adjusting your definition of "Mr. Right" to more... realistic levels, I guess you could say. No one should date someone whose "wrong" for them. I realize that this is probably a semantics issue. Overall, good take.

[HeatherJoanGaG]

Girls just need to stop being so naive. Mr. Wrong is not going to treat you as sh*t and you do not need to be in a relationship where the guys is the biggest douchebag ever.

Mr. Wrong is the not perfect guy that at the end has the things you might didn't know you want.

By itlself develops wonderful things.

[VulcanHades]

I think it's kind of sad that people need to read these articles to finally understand such a basic principle like "no one is perfect".

I pity the women who turn down guys because they are missing a little insignificant detail lol.

[VulcanHades]

"This girl is amazing, she's the most wonderful person on earth. But why did she have to be a brunette and not a blonde! Her boobs are also a cup smaller than my ideal perfect size. Fuck I guess I still need to keep looking..."

[Hellagood22]

That's so superficial. The guy im talking to said im not the type he usually goes for, but he seems to like me cause im down to earth. A part of me is worried he wouldn't be interested in anything else though for that reason.

[Hellagood22]

People who think like that are crazy.

[Hannah591]

I don't stick to "types". I date anyone I find attractive, that I get along with, have a lot in common with and enjoy spending time with. I would prefer to have NOT dated my last ex though.

[Hajar_Whitestone]

There is no MR right or MR Wrong there is Just MR, and all of them are the same, they start with friendship to get your trust and after that they play there game and when they become 100% they got you in that stage there start showing there real faces, guys are the same right now this opinion will get down vote because it's the truth that guys try to dined..

[Paritosh23]

Girls do the same thing. It's the fault in human and it has nothing to do with a particular gender.

[Hajar_Whitestone]

shut up, you guys are just assholes nothing matter when you have to get what you want so don't come here and start talking bullshit..

[amphet11]

This applies only to girls, for most guys a women just has to be half decent looking and not a crazy bitch and that will be enough. This is because women are biologically more selective as they carry more risk through pregnancy, also the dynamics of reproductive fitness makes this so.

[Hajar_Whitestone]

what the hell are you talking about here? go get a life before you fuck off in here.

[ZMacZ]

nope.. I agree...
it's simple.. girls lower their expectations after the first guy.. or they don't date for a long time..
the first one leaves the biggest pain when you see their real face..
(although people do not always break-up because the guy had his way and is now off to next-girl-land..)
After my first break-up I didn't get a girl for a very long time..

[bunnyy]

I kissed mr. wrong and I really dodged a bullet getting away from him while I could. I should have never lowered my standards he was a below average looking asshole. But as soon as I went back to having high standards someone came along who exceeded them and he's been mine for 6 months now! When you lower your standards you end up with people who treat you like shit so go ahead and be picky.

[UrHomie]

Nice 'My Take' 👍. And this is not an excuse to date bad boys, it's an excuse to date every boy lol. I'll next time keep an open mind. I've rejected some guys just cuz they were too skinny for my liking. I always liked the strong kinda beefy guys. I promise to stop being that shallow. And guys should stop being shallow too.

[cheesesteak7]

Who greenlit this title? So misleading. How about instead of dating "Mr. Wrong", you just date "Mr. Imperfect"?

[AlwaysBelieving]

You could have titled this differently. Good read otherwise.

[bryanda2]

Yeah, reading it now I realize the title may have been a bit misleading. Thanks for the feedback!

Every failed relationship you go through is just practice for when you meet the right person.

[Strider90]

No. I won't date Ms. Wrong. At least not to long. If the lady has no similar interests and hobbies with me at all I can't last with her for more than 3 days. Even the sex is not great if thats the whole point of the relationship. In this case my hand would always be preferred.

[misscocobutter]

There's more to a relationship than sex

[Strider90]

Exactly. If I have nothing in common with the girl I simply don't want any kind of relationship with her. Not even a friends with benefits one.

[youknowitt]

I'm currently dating a Mr. Wrong, a type of guy my friends would have never imagined me dating :)

[GiveMeABreakPlz]

I feel like this is a problem mainly for girls, they're so picky. Needs to have a list of qualities, the whole cliche of 'tall dark and handsome' and all that. For us guys... boobies and butt!

[bubble_tea]

I thought this article was going about real Mr. Wrongs aka Senior Cheater or Monsieur Douchebag..
