dream woman
The woman who perfectly matches a person's ideal expectations, especially a man's, and is seen as the ideal partner.
Nach langer Suche hat er in ihr endlich seine Traumfrau gefunden.
After a long search, he finally found his dream woman in her.
The word is made up of 'der Traum' (dream) and 'die Frau' (woman). So it literally describes a woman who is so perfect that she seems to come from a dream.
Er beschreibt sie immer als seine absolute Traumfrau.
He always describes her as his absolute dream woman.
The combination with 'Traum-' (dream) is often used in German to express an ideal. Other examples are 'der Traumjob' (dream job), 'das Traumhaus' (dream house), or 'der Traumpartner' (dream partner).
Nicht nur hat er seine Traumfrau gefunden, er hat auch seinen Traumjob bekommen.
Not only did he find his dream woman, he also got his dream job.
'Traumfrau' (dream woman) is very often used with a possessive pronoun (meine, deine, seine — my, your, his) to emphasize the personal ideal. Typical verbs are 'finden' (to find), 'suchen' (to look for), and 'treffen' (to meet).
Er ist überzeugt, in Maria seine Traumfrau gefunden zu haben.
He is convinced that he has found his dream woman in Maria.
The term is very subjective. 'Traumfrau' (dream woman) does not describe an objectively perfect woman, but rather the woman who matches the very personal wishes and ideas of a particular person.
Für ihn ist seine Freundin die Traumfrau, auch wenn andere das vielleicht nicht so sehen.
For him, his girlfriend is the dream woman, even if others may not see it that way.
