Thanks a Lot, Patrick Swayze

I'd like to take this moment to thank all the romance novels I've ever read, all the cheesy movies I've ever watched, and all the mushy love songs I've ever heard for totally screwing with not only my perspective, but the perspectives of every hormonal teenager out there about what "the perfect man" should be like.

So, thanks a lot, Prince Charming, for being so charming.
Thanks a lot, Harrison Ford, for being such an adventurous stud as Han Solo and Indiana Jones.
Thanks a lot, Ryan Gosling, for never giving up in "The Notebook".
Thanks a lot, Goo Goo Dolls and pretty much every male Country singer alive (especially you, John Michael Montgomery), for writing the best, and sometimes the cheesiest, love songs.
Thanks a lot, Channing Tatum, for taking your shirt off.
Thanks a lot, Adam Sandler, for writing a cheesy, adorable love song to propose to Drew Barrymore in "The Wedding Singer."
Thanks a lot, The Waltons, The Brady Bunch, and Leave it to Beaver, for being the perfect families.
Thanks a lot, Atticus Finch and Andy Griffith, for being so smart and understanding.
Thanks a lot, John Krasinski, for not only being nice to look at, but also for having an awesome sense of humor.
Thanks a lot, George Strait, for being so good looking and so romantic at at age.
Thanks a lot, Nicholas Sparks, for writing the best love stories with the sweetest male characters.

And to so many others, thanks for raising my expectations of "the perfect guy" so high that no man in real life could ever reach them.
