People are very shallow and act like they deserve perfect while demanding others accept them just the way they are.My husband and I met in college and we've always worked because we know that neither of us is perfect, but we're perfect for each other.BullMoose1904:Academic/semantic point: I would say decent people with realistic expectations tend to partner up and get out of the dating pool relatively quickly and stay out. The people like the ones you're talking about stay single for a long time and are over-represented in the dating pool, especially on the apps. Interestingly, the same thing happens with a bunch of other seemingly unrelated things like job searches and welfare programs; a sort of perverse survivor bias.But, like I say, semantics. The practical impact is exactly what you said.
