He that loves a rosy cheek Or coral lip admires, Or from star-like eyes doth seek Fuel to maintain his fires; As old Time makes these decay, So his flames must waste away. But a smooth and steadfast mind, Gentle thoughts, and calm desires, Hearts with equal love combined, Kindle never-dying fires:- Where these are not, I despise Lovely cheeks or lips or eyes.
True Beauty by Thomas Carew
Like many of the men interviewed for this article, I am a firm believer that there are no such things as imperfections. My mind echoes the words of John* who retorted, when asked about the flaws he finds beautiful in his partner, “I am not even sure I know what imperfections mean. I think we are perfectly designed from birth. There was no ‘too much of this or too little of that’. There was only perfection”. I also agree with Peter* who said, “I am blind to physical imperfections. God made every woman perfect, and I hate to see women do things to change who they are because of what the world deems as ‘imperfect'”. I want to end the article here because I am a woman and the essence of who I am was validated by these beautiful men. Still, I am aware that though these viewpoints are honourable, they do not represent the thoughts of a large subset of society. A society that cannot help but perceive imperfections. ‘
I pressed on, not heeding to the temptation to end the article with the declaration that there was no such thing as imperfection. The social scientist in me wanted to relay the truth, and I was blown away by what I discovered.
The men interviewed did not see imperfections as physical. A woman’s attempt to cook, knowing she was a disaster in the kitchen was a shortcoming that Alex, a communications consultant, found endearing. Sam’s girlfriend’s lack of sporting knowledge was the cutest thing about her.
