Thanks, Dad

There's a ubiquitous ad for Juno (a film I loved) that ends with the line Juno's father says: "The best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are." This is probably the worst line in the movie.

I agree, it's great to find someone who loves you for exactly what you are. (The line continues "Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person will still think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.") But as advice, which is what Juno wants, it's about as helpful as saying you should buy low and sell high.

Of course this is what you want. The question is can you find someone like this, and how do you know when you do?
