I Don’t Need A Knight In Shining Armor, I just Want A Real Man

The guy I’m with now is far from perfect. He isn’t the most attractive or smartest guy in the world. But, I’d still choose him over all the hottest male models out there. Do you know why? Because I still have butterflies in my stomach and my eyes glow with happiness when I see him. Because his touch still makes me melt and my heart beat like crazy like on the day we first met.

I would pick him out of so many others because he loves and accepts me for who I am. He does his best to make me happy. He makes me laugh even when I think all hopes are lost.

He’s my choice because he has the qualities I’ve always wanted in a man.

You see, I don’t need Prince Charming. I don’t need someone who will be the most handsome, smartest, and richest person in the world. I don’t need someone who will be perfect in every single way. Someone who won’t have flaws and make mistakes. Someone who will tell me that I’m perfect. Because I’m not.

I don’t need a ‘perfect’ love – the one that can only be found in fairy tales. I don’t need love that looks real on the outside but it’s empty on the inside.

I want a man who is real.

He doesn’t have to be my prince on the white horse. He doesn’t have to be my knight in shining armor.

He doesn’t have to look a certain way or have a particular style and job. Love and happiness can’t be defined and shaped by someone’s physical appearance and social status.

He doesn’t need to give me expensive gifts or take me to fancy places so as to keep my attention. No money can buy someone’s love.

He just has to be himself. His imperfect himself.

I don’t need a man who will be ashamed of his quirks and flaws. A man who will always agree with me about anything I say and do. A man who will never challenge me. A man who won’t be willing to work on himself and grow personally and professionally.

I don’t need an ‘ideal’ love and a ‘perfect’ man that the whole world will envy – I need love and a man that are real.

I want a man who will speak his mind, argue with me, and challenge me intellectually. A man who will make mistakes and be willing to admit and correct them. A man who won’t let his problems and failures break his confidence. But, he’ll be strong and determined to get up and move on.

I want a man who will share his desires, passions, and deepest fears with me. A man who won’t be reluctant or ashamed to show that he’s vulnerable. A man who will carry his heart on his sleeve.

I want a man who will believe in my abilities and mental strength and who will motivate me to become a better version of myself.

I want a man who will honestly love and respect me. A man who will see my worth and never take me for granted. A man whom I‘ll always be able to trust and count on for his help and support. 

I want a man who will make me feel like I’m the only girl in the world.

I want a man who will show me that I was right choosing him.
