That depends entirely on one’s idea of perfection. For some people, perfect is: good looking, kind and fun. Loads of people match those expectations. But someone else’s might be: can juggle 7 melons for at least 10 minutes without dropping any; likes sheep, cats, crocodiles and boa constrictors, but hates goats, alpacas, seahorses and eagles; has climbed at least 6 mountains; dresses like a goth; goes to Church but doesn’t believe in God; is illiterate but can write emotive poetry; smells like a forest of pine trees on a Spring morning. That’s probably harder to achieve, but still, must be someone out there?
Yes. And not just the idea of a perfect partner, but the idea of a perfect anything is imaginary. Only God is perfect. Nothing else in the Universe is.
Not only this but the idea of it hurts society. We should be looking for an acceptable partner we can make a happy, comfortable, life full of accomplishment long before we look for the perfect partner. Too many people prioritize their happy years and don’t consider what they will do when their 50 single alone without kids to care for them when they retire. You don’t retire at 50 working for McDonald’s. Hell it’s an accomplishment to retire at 50 making $20/hr...
Yeah, but it's something I try to understand.
I also think it's something that can apply in other aspects of life too:
"When you want something that you've never had before, your mind can trick you into thinking it's better than it may actually be, because you don't know until you try" - I came up with this myself, I didn't get it from anywhere, lol.

Depends on what you mean by perfect.
Your definition of a "perfect partner" is probably different than mine, & everyone else has their own ideas too.
My partner (M26) is perfect for me (F24). While we were in the "talking phase" I found out he was as nerdy/dorky as myself & we hold similar beliefs on many subjects. He's very sweet, affectionate & makes me feel like a queen. He also is very satisfying in bed. So I've made it my mission to make him feel as good as he makes me feel.
I got super lucky with my man.
He claims I'm his idea of a "perfect partner" too, because his last few relationships used &/or abused him. While all I want is to be surrounded by his warmth & make him smile.
As I said here recently, no one is perfect, and there isn’t a perfect partner.
If you meet someone that you genuinely connect with mentally and physically, they’re right for you.
Just don’t expect things to be jolly 24/7 because life has its ups and downs.
Mine is not imaginary but those kind are getting extinct. :(
So yeah soon they will get extinct and it will be imaginary for sure.
How am I supposed to find that one in a billion from this world's population? Especially when you can't meet most people?
Yes, its not real. No matter how compatible you are, it takes a 100% from both sides to make a relationship work.
Love really has little to do with marriage, if you think about it. It is a legal contract. If you look for the perfect person and you do find them, almost guaranteed that you will not be that person's perfect person, thus such a thing does not exist.
However you can find someone fairly compatible, but never perfect.
No one actually likes perfect, matter of fact if there was a perfect person no one would like them. No one can relate to being perfect and being constantly reminded of there perfectness will actually get on your nerves.
"Men hold a perfect women who they wanna marry to certain expectations but no woman can match those expectations..."
I don't really see this being the case at all. The majority of young girls at some point are young, not fat, virgins, not spoiled entitled. And i think thats a lot of the vast majority of mens desires. So most women can meet them. They just choose not to.
It is a journey, not a real goal, as the goal posts keep moving with time.
Most couples subtly try to change their mates little by little: most succeed.
I would think so... I mean... how could anyone ever be perfect for someone else? It doesn't even make sense.
It probably is, because nobody's perfect; but it is certainly safer these days to go through life alone because you have not found your perfect partner than to get involved with someone you know is not perfect for you and regret it.
Perfection doesn't usually exist, especially with biology.
You would never find a perfect human. Where's the fun in a perfect partner, the imperfections make them unique and fun to explore as well.
our imagination can be our enemy sometimes
of course. it's an "idea".
It's imaginary for most of us.
It's 100% imaginary. There's always "something".
