Forget Mr. Right — settle for Mr. Good Enough

SKY佳缘

A new store has opened. A Husband Store? There's a sign at the entrance:

You may visit the 'Husband Store' only once. There are six floors, and the value of the products increases on each successive floor. The shopper can choose any item from a particular floor, or go up to shop on the next floor, but she can not go back down except to exit the building.

So, a woman goes into the store. on the first floor the sign on the door reads:

Floor 1: Men Who Have Good Jobs.

" That's nice," she thinds, " but I want more." So she continues upward, where the sign reads:

Floor 2: Men Who Have Good Jobs and Love Kids.

She's intrigued, but continues to the third floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 3: Men Who Have Good Jobs, Love Kids, and Are Extremely Handsome.

"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.

Floor 4: Men Who Have Good Job, Love Kids, Are Extremely Handsome, and Help Equally with the Housework.

"It can't get better than this!" She exclaims. But then a voice inside her asks, " Or can it?" She goes up and reads the sign.

Floor 5: Men Who Have Good Jobs, Love Kids, Are Extremely Handsome, Help Equally with the Housework, and Have a Great Sense of Humour.

Having found what she's looking for, she's tempted to stay, but something propels her to the sixth floor, where the sign reads:

Floor 6: You are visitor 42,215,602 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor only exists to prove that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shoppingat the Husband Store.



Please Note:

To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner opened a White Store.

The first floor has wives who Love Sex.
The second floor has wives who Love Sex and Are Kind.
The third floor has wives who Love Sex, Are Kind and Like Sports.
The Fourth, fifth and sixth floors have never been visited.
(由此可见，中国人和老外对女人的要求是不一样的，纯属个人意见）



Lori Gottlieb, an Amercian writer, in her new book, 'Marry Him', she argues that women should get realistic about love and settle in marriage. 'Marring Mr. Good Enough might be equally viable, especially if you're looking for a reliable life companion.' She also fells that a lot of women who think they might have found Mr. Right, end up disappointed later in the relationship as the romanticism wears off.

So girls, does this mean it's time stop waiting for womeone who ticks all yourboxes and settle for second best?

一家专营女性婚姻服务的店在市中心全新开张，女人们可以直接进去挑选—个心仪的配偶。在店门口，立了一面告示牌：—个人只能进去逛—次!店里共有六层楼，随着高度的上升，男人的质量也越高，不过请注意，顾客能在任何一层楼选—个丈夫或者选择上楼，但不能回到以前逛过的楼层……
　　
　　　　—个女人来这家店寻找—个老公。一楼写着：这里的男人有工作。女人看也不看就上了第二层楼，二楼写着：这里的男人有工作而且热爱小孩。女人上了三楼，三楼写着：这里的男人有工作而且热爱小孩，还很帅。哇！她叹道，但仍强迫自己往上爬。四楼：这里的男人有工作而且热爱小孩。令人窒息的帅，还会帮忙做家务。哇！饶了我吧！女人叫道，我快站不住脚了！接着她仍然爬上了五楼。五楼：这里的男人有工作而且热爱小孩，令人窒息的帅，还会帮忙做家务，更有着强烈的浪漫情怀。女人简直想留在这一层楼，但仍抱着满腹期待走向最高一层。第六楼出现了一面巨大的电子告示板，上面写道：你是这层楼的第123456789位访客，这里不存在任何男人，这层楼的存在只是为了证明女人有多么不可能取悦。谢谢光临……
　　
　　　　不久，一家专营男性婚姻服务的店在街对面开张，经营方式与前者—模—样。第一层的女人长得漂亮。第二层的女人长得漂亮并且有钱……结果，二层以上，第三层至六层的楼层从来没有男人上去过……
　　
　　         解读：女人的本能是幻想。男人的本能是现实。这就是为什么优秀的剩女永远多于优秀的剩男的原因，也是为什么婚姻里的怨女多过怨男的理由。与其两手空空，还是抓住现有的优点吧，和爱人的优点过日子。


                 看完后想起张爱玲说过如果在择偶中女性作为主动方呢人类的总体素质一定能有很大的提高~~现在看来女人果然是要比男人挑剔的~~~对大多数男人来说长得漂亮基本上就能引起他们追求的欲望了。但大多数女人一定会要求更多~~不过也不是绝对吧~~有时候明明对方没有达到自己的标准缺莫名其妙喜欢上的也是大有人在的。所以凡事没有绝对。
