“I want to get married, but I’m having trouble funding a compatible man!” Mary said with a sigh. “He must possess a measure of competitiveness because I hate complacence. However, his desire for competition has to be complemented with a degree of compassion.”
“That type of man won’t be easy to find!” Jane replied. “I would prefer a man with a personality that is complementary to mine. He’d have to be a competent cook because I have absolutely no competence in that area. I’d also want him to be intelligent so that he can compensate for my inability to solve complex problems. ”
“You two girls are crying for the moon.” Ruth said. “What you really need in someone who will love you without complaint, like my last boyfriend. I never had to compel him to express his feelings to me. I think, in his mind, love was not a complexity. But how am I ever going to find someone who is comparable to my ex-boyfriend?”
“I suppose you can do a comparative study of every new guy you meet,” Mary replied with a laugh. “Or you can call up your ex-boyfriend and beg him to take you back. But why would he want you back after you made him compete with his best friend for your affection? It’s not like you can make things right with compensatory affection, can you? ”
“Look, girls, ” Jane said with a tone of dismay. “We’re not exactly princesses. We’re 30 years old and we’re still being too picky. Don’t you think we have enough compelling reasons to lower our standards? Why don’ t we just compile a list of all single men over 3 who wouldn’t mind going out with us? ”
“Good idea!” replied Mary and Ruth.
