Kindred souls or About reality

Maybe some will not agree with what they will read, but still finish these lines and think.

You won't find your soulmate

There is no such thing as a perfect soul mate. If you meet someone and you think they're perfect, you better run as fast as you can in the other direction.

It must be hard to understand, but you will never find your "soul mate" because there is no such thing as a "soul mate". There is probably no one on earth with whom you are completely compatible.

Yes, there are certain personality types that you will always be more compatible with, and certain physical characteristics that you will always be attracted to, but let's not confuse attraction and compatibility with the Hollywood myth of the "soulmate," because that's not the case and it's not exists.

If you're a teenager or in your early twenties, you probably don't believe me or want to believe me, but answer this question:

How many people do you know who are with their "soulmate"? Anyone? I do not.

If a soulmate existed surely you or someone would be able to name a famous Hollywood celebrity who is with their soulmate.

But can you name someone? I can not.

Yes, we know people get married and lie to themselves and others and tell everyone that they got "the one" they really wanted and that they couldn't be happier.

… But most of the time they don't.

Most people after 30 have long since given up looking for "the one". They can't get "the one" - so they just settle for anyone. It sounds desperate and sad, but it's true.

The truth is, when people get to a certain age (age varies from person to person) they get tired of looking and just want to settle down. So their standards drop drastically (especially women) and they settle for whoever they can. Seriously, anyone around at the time and ready to settle down, get married and/or have a family.

There are countless good looking women with the highest standards who think they are too good for someone, but after a certain age (early to mid thirties) they drastically lower their standards. Their standards are lowered and almost anyone can become their mate as long as they are willing to settle down and make some sort of commitment.

Believe it or not, this is how many families start, and depending on your age and where you come from, this may be how your parents started your family too, with one (or both) of your parents, sick and tired of searching, and just deciding to settle for whoever is around at the time.
