false. and true.
tpbm has suffered/is suffering from Frankenstein syndrome.
Dr. Ruth's (yes, the sex therapist) version from am radio, years ago-
When one has dated and dated. And has been in and out of numerous relationships. Never the 'right' lifelong partner, but there is always some desirable trait from past partners. After a while, one would pick the desirable trait from each partner and start building the perfect partner(Frankenstein) in their mind.
As one matures, their definition of Frankenstein becomes more refined. And the chances of finding the perfect mate diminishes.
