Eu não preciso de perfeição, apenas de um homem adulto com as suas merdas juntas

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.

Precisei de alguns desgostos, de muitas lágrimas e de muita dor para perceber que, por muito elevados que fossem os meus padrões, acabaria por ficar desiludida e desapontada.

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.

Tudo o que preciso é de um homem que saiba o que quer, que lute por isso e que saiba apreciar o que tem.

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.

Preciso de um homem que sabe o que quer, que vai lutar arduamente para isso e que saberá apreciar o que tem.

I don’t need someone who will jogar jogos mentais comigo ou que me faça sentir menos digna. Preciso de um homem que cuide do meu coração e da minha alma, tal como eu cuidarei do dele.

Tudo o que eu quero é a reciprocidade mútua. Tudo o que eu quero é a reciprocidade mútua de dar e receber. Nada mais.

Preciso de um homem que não me tome por garantida, que continue a lutar por mim mesmo depois de me ter conquistado.

Preciso de um homem que não desista ao primeiro obstáculo. O amor não é um jogo, como os rapazes pensam.

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.

Preciso de um homem que o diga como se estivesse a falar a sério. E que me prove o seu amor simplesmente estando lá para mim, aconteça o que acontecer.

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.
