A Dose of Reality

When you do find the perfect mate,
you'll marry him.
And you'll commit the rest of your waking days
trying to change him.
Then finally, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years. Hence, you'll succeed.
And you'll look across the table at him,
having rehabilitated every one of his habits,
all his idiosyncrasies...
and you'll bemoan:
"You're not the man I married."

The younger men are trainable.
If you find him attractive, if he's smart,
take him home.
Take him shopping.
Take him into your bosom.
It's not the man who makes the man.
It's the woman.

-- Therapist on Ally Mcbeal
