"Well I am looking for the perfect woman."
"I mean you have never found her well."
"I got closer few times, I met beautiful girl here and there, but you know there was always something lacking." "Except, one time I did find a perfect woman." Well, she was tall, she was beautiful, she was intelligent, she was compassionate, she had everything a man would possibly want."
