Non ho bisogno di perfezione, ma solo di un uomo adulto con le sue cose in ordine

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.

Mi ci sono voluti alcuni colpi di cuore, inondazioni di lacrime ed enormi quantità di dolore per capire che, per quanto alti fossero i miei standard, avrei comunque finito per essere distrutta e delusa.

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.

Tutto ciò di cui ho bisogno è un uomo che sappia cosa vuole, che combatta per ottenerlo e che sappia apprezzare ciò che ha.

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.

Ho bisogno di un uomo che sa cosa vuole, che vuole combattere duramente e che saprà apprezzare ciò che ha.

I don’t need someone who will fare giochi mentali con me o che mi faccia sentire meno degna. Ho bisogno di un uomo che si prenda cura del mio cuore e della mia anima, proprio come io mi prenderò cura del suo.

Tutto ciò che voglio è la reciprocità reciproca. Tutto ciò che voglio è la reciprocità reciproca del dare e del ricevere. Nient'altro.

Ho bisogno di un uomo che non mi dia per scontata, che continui a lottare per me anche dopo avermi conquistata.

Ho bisogno di un uomo che non si arrenda al primo ostacolo. L'amore non è un gioco, come pensano i ragazzi.

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.

Ho bisogno di un uomo che dica le cose come stanno davvero. E che mi dimostri il suo amore semplicemente essendomi accanto, qualunque cosa accada.

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.
