Are relationships like shoes?

So I've been feeling the need to start a blog, for whatever reason. I've learned that I do things not because they make sense, but it's something for me to enjoy, thus than a blog. So my first entry starts on just random thoughts that have been continuing in my head, most of all lately I wonder about relationships, mostly like how does a person really know that this person is the one they're meant to spend the rest of their lives with? Aren't we all subject to having our eyes covered by the blindfold that is love. You see what you want to see, and maybe not what is necessarily true of that person. At that rate is love not really love, but a compromise of losing part of your sense of sanity and reality?  It's said that we give up things in every sense relationships, clothing, shoes, living locations for other amenities that present themselves to us, but are the things that we've lost worth it? Sometimes the little things are relatively unnoticeable and easy to  walk  around, where as others prove a little more daunting.  This can be said without a doubt with relationships. Much like shoes, the really really, cute ones are either incredibly difficult to walk in, insanely uncomfortable, expensive and impractical love and the choices that are made as a result of those shoes.  but yet so many people will leave the comfort and practical shoes for those adorable Betsey Johnston three inch heels with the leopard print, instead of going towards another shoe that costs less, is totally more comfortable and doesn't give you pain after wearing it for three minutes.  Do people really want a relationship that is like the shoe that seems so wonderful right now and close to what the person wants when they're young, because it's trendy. It seems everywhere that all women in the eighteen to twenty four year old age range want the same type of men, and men are guilty of the same. So is what relationships are looking for based on what is considered trendy? The man who has the hottest car looks like he comes from an Abercombie and Fitch catalog, because someone else said it was the best thing on earth? And as a result of choosing the less comfortable shoe/ relationship are you really choosing and being attracted to what you want or what society seems to think that you should view as the best looking man, souly on the way he looks without his shirt or or how a woman looks in a bathing suit. When did it become a negative not to be drop dead gorgeous and not to be a size zero?  It's as if people who do not fit our societies mold of what is considered the best are treated less deservedly than the rest because of what one person and one society deemed proper.  It is because of out obsession with dieting and skinny people that the eating disorders have developed in children so much younger. Girls and boys believe it or not sub come to the pressures and the need to be thin that they lose their whole entire childhood trying to be what all of us face as adults, but at this rate three year olds will begin to think that they're fat if this obsession otf being thin as the Betsey Johnston shoes which will not serve you your whole life though. Do men and woman only want a partner who fits the trendy mold, or do they want something more that will last longer like a girl who isn't the typical blond, skinny with big boobs, but rather, a brunette, with brains.
