If your only comment is about how chewing with your mouth open is disgusting... then this whole message just went "WHOOSH" over your head... (and you shouldn't be in any relationship because you're too stupid to know an analogy by example).

@ColonelNebulous 100% compatibility doesn't mean 100% perfection on the part of either party. It means that my girlfriend and I have flaws, some of mine are fatal flaws to most of society, but she understands how it came to be that I am what I am as well as who I am. She loves the flaws, as do I (hers not mine). The "good" and "bad" are the building blocks of a whole person. When you love the entirety of someone, it isn't because you look past anything, it's because you love everything.

@AdamRainStopper That 100% feeling might just be you inadvertently looking beyond your partner's shortcomings, flaws, or discrepancies in tastes and lifestyles. Dan's point is that no one is going to be perfect, and there is always going to be something to accept and look past if you want to be happy with someone for longer than two months.

No settling down without settling for? Now I suppose the majority end up in crappy relationships with the redeeming quality of love being the strong enough thread that just holds two people together despite this and that, but some people manage to find someone with whom they are just about 100% compatible, and it isn't because they maintain "the lie" forever. With this dismal point of view, why not just have 2 month relationships and move on? I can't settle, it's counter-intuitive.

Jesus, this is fucking brilliant!

How true :)
With a bit of work of both sides and if both sides are mostly compatible then it works. If you seek perfection.. oh you stay alone.

Dan Savage has everything figured out. Just... fucking everything.

if someone chewing with their mouth open is the price of admission then that ride isnt worth enjoying. fucking disgusting habit
