Bachelorhood : she was also looking for a perfect husband!

 

Bachelorhood

 

 

I have heard about a man who searched his whole life for a perfect woman, and naturally he had to die a bachelor. When he was dying, somebody asked him, "Your whole life you were searching for a perfect wife. Could you not find a single woman who was perfect?"

 

He said, "Who said that I didn't find her? Many times I came across a perfect woman."

 

Then the questioner asked, "Then what happened? Why didn't you get married?"

 

He said, "Because she was also looking for a perfect husband!“
