Perfection

[Cheyenne]

A man wants a perfect woman, a perfect job; a woman wants a perfect wedding; a young girl wants a perfect nose; friends speak of meeting the perfect guy or the perfect haircut or finding the perfect dress.

What made you realize, perfection is just an illusion?

I think for me it's been a gradual dawning.

There's a mathematical formula for the "beer goggles" effect?

February 9, 2007
Many of us have heard of the so-called "beer goggle" effect. It's the phenomenon that occurs when someone's had a few alcoholic drinks and suddenly, all of those people who looked semi-attractive on entering the bar look really, really appealing. Scientists have shown that it's not just a lowering of standards -- alcohol actually stimulates the part of the brain that judges facial attractiveness.

In 2002, researchers at St. Andrews University and Glasgow University in Scotland took 80 college students and had half of them drink a "moderate" amount of alcohol -- between one and four servings, depending on gender and body weight. The other half, the control group, remained sober. Scientists showed each subject pictures of people of the opposite sex. In all cases -- male and female alike -- the experimental (tipsy) group rated each picture an average of 25 percent more attractive than the sober group did.

Perfection is not an illusion, just a misnomer. The 'perfect' woman for me is not a 'perfect woman'. That sorta thing. :)

When i realized, we will all die one day and perfection is unattainable, and people will always find a reason to harm you.
