"It&amp;#39;s an old joke that women strive to find the perfect guy\u2026and then change him completely. While certain things&amp;#8212;like his table manners or aversion to sushi&amp;#8212;can sometimes be adjusted, personality traits usually can&amp;#39;t be tweaked. And Jessica Simpson says that&amp;#39;s how it should be.\n&amp;quot;You can&amp;#39;t love someone else to change them,&amp;quot; Simpson wrote on her Twitter page. &amp;quot;Happiness comes from accepting who they are. It is our decision to REALLY know who we love.&amp;quot;\nPinterestFacebookI absolutely agree with her. A relationship spent hammering away at your boyfriend&amp;#39;s jagged, unpleasant parts is no relationship at all. Why do that to yourself? Cut your losses, put down your tools and use your energy to find someone who&amp;#39;s a better fit.\nAnd she&amp;#39;s right: It&amp;#39;s our choice to take off the rose-colored glasses and really examine our partners, warts and all. If you don&amp;#39;t, then you don&amp;#39;t really love the person, you love the fantasy of him. And if things head south, the loss of that perfect dream will sting much worse than the loss of the actual guy (who was crappy in bed and wouldn&amp;#39;t help with the dishes).\nDo you agree with Jessica? Should you try to change someone? Have you fallen for the tantalizing idea of being able to transform a guy, rather than for the dude himself?\nFor more on Jess\u2026\nMiz Simpson&amp;#39;s sexiest style moments!\nCheck out her rockin&amp;#39; cover-shoot gallery!\nWarm weather is coming, get ready with these new swimsuits designed by Jess!\nMore Ways to Get Glamour\nYou could win $50,000 just for registering or logging in to Glamour.com!\nSign up for Glamour.com&amp;#39;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters!\nAdd Glamour to your iGoogle homepage.\nFollow Glamour on Twitter.\nPhoto: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
