At least men have realistic expectations for women – he said sarcastically, setting up a second verse.
Bo Burnham – “Lower Your Expectations”
“Lower Your Expectations” (2015)
In this humorous song, Bo Burnham dispenses advice to the lovelorn – advice both practical and philosophical. Well, mostly practical. Every single person – and even many of those who are not single – seems to be searching for a perfect partner. However, according to Bo, it's likely that we will never find anyone good enough, and the fact is that we should lower our expectations, .Looking for Love
Women are searching for (or waiting for) “a good boy, a bad boy, a good bad boy, a half-good, half-bad, half boy.” Men, on the other hand, are searching for (or chasing after) “a real girl, a hot girl, a really hot girl, a brand new, really hot, real doll.”

Bo Burnham
Bo Burnham is a US musician, comedian, writer, and actor. He first achieved fame in 2006, when a video he had uploaded to YouTube went viral. By now, his videos have been viewed over 150 million times.Laughing at Everybody
Some of his comedy might be seen as controversial or offensive. But as Bo said, “If you can laugh at one group of people, you godda be able to laugh at ‘em all.”Disturbing a Few
(Image source) Bo cites among his major influences such wholesome but disturbing comics as George Carlin, Steve Martin, and Tim Minchin. Expect a few more disturbances, and much more laughter.
We all want love How many single ladies out there, looking for love tonight? (Wooo!!!)
Yeah, woo that sadness out
There's more where that came from
Ladies, I know what you want ... want ... want You want a guy that's sweet, a guy that's tough
A feminist who likes to pay for stuff
The kind of guy that gets along with your friends
Without being attracted to any of them.
A good boy, a bad boy; a good bad boy;
A half-good, half-bad, half boy
Loves your brothers, sensitive but not weak and
Is a great lover, calls your mother on the weekend. Now you might think that this guy only exists in your mind
Guess what. You're right! If you want love, lower your expectations a few
Because Prince Charming would never settle for you
If you want love, just pick a guy and love him
And if he's got a thing for feet, say "Fuck it, sweep me off 'em." Now the good thing is that at least men have very realistic expectations for women
He said, sarcastically setting up a second verse in a comedy song. You want a girl that's nice, a girl that's not
Obsessed with her looks, but is insanely hot
The kind of girl that you can show to your folks
Loves the movies that you like and always laughs at your jokes
A real girl, a hot girl; a really hot girl
A brand new, really hot, real doll
Wants to impress you, doesn't care if you notice
And only ever uses you to tickle her throat with. Now you might think that this girl only exists in your mind
But she's real, but last week … she died. If you want love, lower your expectations a lot
You might think your dick is a gift, I promise it's not
If you want love, just pick a girl and love her
Then whip out your dick and let the girl you love decline the offer. I don't want a neat freak, I don't want a slob
Somebody with bedhead and a dead-end job
'Cause I won't settle for less than perfect
We want perfect children, a perfect life
A perfect husband or a perfect wife
But deep down we know, we don't deserve it
But … We all deserve love, even on the days when we aren't our best
'Cause we all suck, but love can make us suck less
We all deserve love, it's the very best part of being alive
And I would know I just turned 25. That's young.

This is where wisdom must be sought, and I searched it in books. Why I did not come across this text when I was 17. Eh :)
This is so hilarious.. The book lied to you or the book omitted that part..
Wisdom circa 2020, available thru YouTube and other internet sites. :-)
Sad but true ... I like his sense of humour. I think those who don't agree with him are in denial. In the real essence of things women dont know what they want.
I like the part where he said the ideal man exist in their mind and its true .. it got me cracking.. This is the funniest thing i have watched in a while ..
What the hell was that..
I am litrrally cracking... This post deserves a reblog
I too found much of it hilarious. Bo's not only wise, he also got a brilliant and scathing sense of humor.
I swear. His sense of humour is so good. I will start watching this guy
Bo Burnham delivered a classic here. The best way to give advice is to add a little bit of humour.
"We all deserve love, even on the days when we aren't our best"
This is the my best of the song. We, humans deserve love, no matter how undeserving of it we actually are.
Thank you @majes.tytyty for introducing me to Bo Burnham, I'll check out his other songs.
