No, people enjoy complexity, being complimented by the "other person", and learning from failure and then achieving success. Prince Perfect Charming is a great way to make yourself miserable with expectations that blind you from perfectly fine people.
I'm attracted to flawed people. I dunno why; it's a bad thing in some cases, because I just want to take all the broken people and fix them. But, at the same time, helping someone in a relationship is what builds the strongest connections, from what I've gotten.
There's also the matter of self-esteem to consider. If you were around someone perfect all the time, how do you think that would affect you?
Stereotypical Prince Charming is also there to accompany stereotypical woman. He sweeps her off her feet and provides everything for her, whilst she dances around the house sweeping with some cute little rabbits and birds.
Personally, I don't want that. I couldn't deal with being taken care of, or being with someone who thinks I need to be taken care of.
On another point: I see being 'perfect' as a flaw in itself, so definitely wouldn't want that. Complications make things better.
This is, of course, me only taking notice of the stereotypical Prince Charming, not my ideal person. Then again, I have absolutely no idea what my 'ideal' person would be like because, seriously? They're unlikely to exist. Take people as they are, instead of trying to fit them into a mould you create.
I'm totally rambling now. xD
"It is curious how often you humans manage to obtain that which you do not want."
Surely a Prince Charming isn't someone perfect, but the guy who fits you best. So that makes him perfect, but he's not perfect perfect, which does make him perfect.

Well, I always say I'm waiting for my Romeo/Prince Charming, but I use those words to describe my ideal vision of a guy -- it's different for everyone, I think. I don't think I want someone is perfect, like Twit said, but a perfect match for me; one that makes me laugh and will be there for me but has their flaws.

Nope. Being with someone perfect would deflate my already low self esteem. I'd also be extremely jealous. ALL. THE. TIME.
I am nothing but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's or maybe like pocket candy that's just a bit too sweet.

I don't want to list anything else. (The lists are subject to alternate interpretation, addition, and revision anyway.)

Given boy and girl. Let B be the character of the boy G be the character of the girl. dB/dt and dG/dt are the change in the character of the boy and girl respectively with respect to time. b and g represent the effect of the characters of the boy and girl respectively on their new character.
Let the equation is this: dB/dt=b+g, dG/dt=b+g. If b+g>0, then a positive feedback loop emerges. (i.e. the couple is good to one another, and makes one another better.) Otherwise, the couple becomes indifferent (b+g=0) or they hate one another (b+g<0.)
