No necesito la perfección, sólo un hombre maduro con su mierda juntos

All of this talking about the characteristics of a real man, things they should do or not do to make us happy, all of these guides and signs on how to find the real one or how you can change him to start treating you right…

All this time, I’ve been in pursuit of finding the right one for me. To find someone who will exhibit certain traits that will fit my definition of a real man.

After a few failures, I’ve realized that there’s no point in seeking perfection because it simply doesn’t exist.

Me costó varios desengaños, lágrimas a raudales y mucho dolor darme cuenta de que, por muy elevados que fueran mis niveles de exigencia, acabaría rota y decepcionada.

I’ve become sick of all of those narcissistic boys, their selfishness and sweet nothings.

I’ve realized that I don’t need perfection, just a grown-ass man with his shit together.

I don’t need a boy with a perfect body and face, flawless, with a perfect mind. All I need is a grown-ass man who will stick to his words and promises.

I’m not looking for someone to take me to the moon or the stars. I’m looking for someone who will be willing to gaze at them with me on long, hot, summer nights.

And I don’t think I’m asking for much.

My previous disappointments with men have actually taught me not to expect much of them and that is why I wholeheartedly and solemnly swear that I don’t and will never look for perfection.

Todo lo que necesito es un hombre que sepa lo que quiere, que luche por ello y que sepa apreciar lo que tiene.

I don’t need a boy who wants one thing today and a different thing the next. I don’t need someone whose main priority is their self-centered, egotistical nature.

Necesito un hombre que sabe lo que quiere, que luchar duro y que sabrá apreciar lo que tiene.

I don’t need someone who will jugar a juegos mentales conmigo o me haga sentir menos digna. Necesito un hombre que cuide de mi corazón y mi alma, igual que yo cuidaré de los suyos.

Todo lo que quiero es reciprocidad mutua. Todo lo que quiero es la reciprocidad mutua de dar y recibir. Nada más.

Necesito un hombre que no me dé por sentada, que siga luchando por mí incluso después de haberme ganado.

Necesito un hombre que no se rinda ante el primer obstáculo. El amor no es un juego, como piensan los chicos.

You don’t go out of your way to fight hard to win someone only to take them for granted afterward. You fight hard to win their love and you keep fighting to maintain it.

And that’s the kind of man I’m looking for.

I need a man who will understand the seriousness of other people’s feelings and this complex thing called love.

I don’t need someone who will fight for me only to fulfill his egotistical purposes.

I need honesty, respect, and selflessness. I need to know that I’m not just another brick in the wall that will be replaced with another one when it becomes worn.

I don’t need to be treated like a queen. I just need a man who will be there for me no matter what.

I don’t expect to be showered with honey, milk and gold. I don’t expect any of the luxuries that we’re bombarded with today.

I don’t need them because I believe in modesty and the beauty of little things. I don’t need someone who will buy me three hundred roses to persuade me of his love.

Necesito un hombre que lo diga como realmente lo siente. Y que me demuestre su amor simplemente estando a mi lado pase lo que pase.

I don’t need any of those expensive gifts from shops.

All I need is a grown-ass man who is devoted to the core because that’s the biggest gift you could give to someone you really love.
