Thinking you can manifest a perfect, or any girl for that matter, by writing down a list of wants and burning it just seems a bit rich and puts one on the path of "fooling oneself".
Besides, nobody is perfect. Perfection is a pipe dream and in my almost 50 years of walking this Earth I have never seen a perfect relationship. Ever. I think the largest downfall is expecting things to be perfect or near perfect in relationships. It takes time, patience, sacrifice and a host of other adjectives to make a relationship work. Perfection should be far, FAR down the list.
I have a woman of 15 years now and she makes me happy. She isn't perfect because if she were she wouldn't be with me and I give thanks to her everyday for that and even after 15 years, not a day goes by that I don't tell her I love her.
I didn't have to put qualities I want on a piece of paper and visualize anything for her to step into my life. I didn't have to meditate or burn pieces of paper either. A matter of fact, when I met her I was in dark times and moods.
So put away the pencils, paper and book of matches and get out there and spend your energies that way.
Even if you didn't use of the techniques posted, You still manifested her in your life. I'm glad that you've had a successful relationship. But still, There's absolutely no way I'm going to simply disregard the LOA as a practical means of getting into a successful relationship. You may have a few decades ahead of me but I've highly doubt you've seen or gotten to known every single couple that's ever been. Again, I'm being shallow here. Whoever the universe/god/higher self/ What ever the hell it is thinks is best for me then I will gracefully accept.
Why do you care though? I'm doomed by the cosmos to have hundreds of failed relationships so I might as well try to manifest those relationships using this technique!
Oh I am sure I have not met every single person in a relationship. I just know that seeking perfection as topping the list is not realistic. How are you to know if that special someone is for you on first glance? First meet? Hell, it takes at least a good half year of being with someone to start beginning to really know them. What may seem all dreamy at first may turn out to be a nightmare after a year or two grinds by. That is the rub. Even bad relationships had to start somewhere and I bet most started with that googly eyed stare at each other across the table at a restaurant or holding hands at a movie or somesuchstuff while thinking "Could this be the one?".
A good part of having a great relationship is being able to deal with flaws. Nobody is perfect and though most women out there are pretty freakin awesome, none are perfect. I am not perfect and neither are you. Like I said in my last reply, if my wife was perfect she definitely would not be with me because I am not perfect. What we have works because no matter what dust storm life throws at us (and life does throw dust storms) when the dust settles we will still be there and be stronger with each other because of it.
The key is give and take, not perfection. That list you wrote... good list and it is fine to set goals. So what happens if you run across a woman that fits 75% of that list? 51%? Will you cast aside a woman that fits 90% of that list because she is not perfect? Do you really expect to write a list, burn it and let the smoke fly up to the heavens and expect a 100% perfect angel to fall into your life? Good luck with that...
You need to get out there and try a few relationships. There will be pain, I guarantee... which is a good thing because you will grow from it and learn from it. One cannot go through life without getting scars.
Good luck in your quest.

Ok... I had a good laugh over that post. First off... if you are in high school still then you cannot consider yourself a man yet. Nor can you consider those females you see as women. I hate to break it to you but you are still a boy and those females you see are girls. Though you may think you have a good grasp on "the world" you don't.
Go out and have fun. Get those "battle scars" and you will find idealism grow into pragmatism. Realize that you are still young and have a lot of "trials" ahead of you. Stop looking for "The One" right now because those "trials" will change your outlook on down that bumpy road of life and you will be better prepared when you do become a man. Prepare yourself for your life and those wonderful women (not perfect I add) out there will see that and you will attract them.
Good medicine...

The problem with your whole manifestation approach is that........people change.....and that change might be diametrically opposed to your initial list.
She might be your dream girl but YOU might not measure up to HER expectations; she will dump you so fast that it will make your head swim. She will feel no guilt and no remorse as she has replaced you with someone that is more mature, better looking, better lover, richer, and makes her laugh.
Relationships are complex, changing, illogical, and sometimes a hidden evil that is unapparent in the beginning and can lead to all sorts of mind games, trickery and emotional devastation.
Romance is alot like playing poker...know when to holdem, know when to foldem, know when to walk away, know when to RUN!!!
I know what I'm talking about!!

The only reason most people never succeed in finding their ideal mate is because they are never opened minded enough to use LOA to help them find one.

Dear RtardX,
I just had a serious and reasonable thought. I know that's not high on the list of things you're looking for, but consider it.
My SWAG estimate is that there are 60,000 female ATS members. Some are easy to identify. Take a look at what they written, just a sample, not all umptybazillion posts. See if any really stand out as people you'd like to know, or use as models for your grand experiment.
Then check their profiles, write them, see what they;ll tell you about what their interested in and what kind of man attracts them. See if you match up.
On the other hand, you can turn to a spirit and say "You'll give me the girl I describe, right?" The Spirit responds in a dusty voice, "I will bring her to you. What happens next is up to you." You ask, "Nothing's free. What's the cost?" And you hear the chuckled "A lifetime guarantee, free for life, your life."
If you take that deal, you're too nuts to be even on ATS.
With respect,
Charles1952
