There seems to be a
universal belief among women. We find a man who we love but has a tragic flaw.
Instantly our maternal instincts kick in gear and we try to fix this flaw so
that we can perfect him. Sometimes this flaw is as simple as leaving underwear
on the floor or as dangerous as abusive tendencies. But one thing is clear, it
is rare for a woman to help her love interest become a better man.
