My sister's idea of her perfect man is to ask this question, so I'm doing it for her: Who has read "The Woman with the Little Dog" by Chekov.

The Lady with the Dog has been stated to be one of the greatest stories ever written and you can describe Chekhov writing as the way one person relates to another the most important things in his life, slowly and yet without a break, in a slightly subdued voice. So why does this make someone perfect in her eyes? Is it because he reads; reads material like Chekhov's; or, something else, like does the person relate one-on-one with another well?

Ask your sister how long she has been perfect? What's going to happen when she finds the perfect man and he rejects her because she's not perfect.

Being sophisticated and intellectual is pretentious. The best way to find a good guy is to go out and meet people, look at their actions and not listen to their words, and accept them faults and all. NO one is perfect

I am the most imperfect man, but i read it, I'm not really into it. I prefer Macbeth.

The beauty about perfection is that it is often flawed, and this can be the attraction, the flaws, we all carry within us.

Wasn't the Garnett translation called"Lady with Lapdog"?
The dog came to a bad end?
What does your sister kook like?
Did she read "The Cherry Orchard"or "The Seagull"
It was clever to call the Star Trek Character "Chekov"
Does anyone know why the black woman was called by the Swahili term "Uhura"?
cool

To everyone who answered - thank you. I have asked my sister (whose very pretty by the way for the guy who asked), to put up her own profile and do her own searching. After all, my own requirements are far more simple (like a pulse) and I'm battling, so dealing with hers is just too much hard work. So, the next blonde Capetonian South African will be her. Thanks guys.

kiss
