🫵Are You Perfect for Your Perfect Partner?

M.D. Singer — March, 2025

Imagine you are face-to-face with your ideal partner.

What do they look like? What do the sound like? What do they like to do?

I am a strong believer in the power of manifestation (and attribute both of my previous relationships to it.)

To me, manifesting boils down to these three steps:

1. Write down your desire in exact detail
2. Visualize your desire as if it were real
3. Keep an eye out in life for how your desire can manifest

However, manifesting your perfect partner is one head of a two-sided coin.

In Spain at dinner one night, my classmates and I discussed the traits our ideal partners possessed. One girl, pulling out her notes document, ran off a laundry list of traits and characteristics…height, job, background, possession of Nantucket beach house, and so on. After we were done sharing our answers, I asked a new question:

From your perfect partner’s perspective, what are they manifesting most in you?

The same person who minutes earlier could have build her partner from scratch couldn’t articulate why she could keep him. For the most part, I’m not any better.

However, by asking this question and trying to improve the answer slowly, I trust that soon I will merit the person of my aspirations—Nantucket Beach House and all.*

*No Nantucket beach house for me, please; however, if they do have a Costco Executive membership, that is a plus.
