Do you have to compromise to find that special someone?
People say I am too fussy... which, to be fair may be true... but I feel that I shouldn't have to sell out my values, aspirations, ambitions and what I want from life (not to mention level of attraction, I don't think it's cynical to believe you shouldn't at least be attracted to the person you want to be with) when it comes to finding someone I want to be with.
Is it enough to settle for an 7 or an 8 out of 10 (I know that sounds awful, I don't score people - honest - but I do think that some people are subjectively a better choice than others for me) or is it right and proper to hold off for what you consider to be living perfection (with the acceptance that you will probably end up alone for a very long long time...)
What do you guys think? Anyone ever found, got and kept a perfect 10... or did you all settle for a B+ and made the best of it?
Oh, and don't get me wrong, I am by no means perfect myself so isn't about someone being of a certain "standard", just being compatible with me and my life.

I don't think you should settle. But, think about what your looking for. There's more to a person than looks. You may not find that perfect "10" that you say you are looking for. If you found someone who was a "7" but that you are very happy with, maybe you should think about keeping a "7". I know there has to be a spark between the two of you. Maybe go out with a 7 and see where things go, you may be pleasantly surprised. You don't have to settle for no one just see where things go with someone who doesn't fit the perfect 10. No one is perfect, you may find a women who has the best body and very pretty, but you might find that she doesn't have the personalty that you are looking for. There's someone for everyone out there. It just takes some people longer to find them than others. Your dream girl might live far away from you and you don't even know it. :) Another thought to ponder, do you mind being alone for a very long time if you don't find all of what your looking for? I hope I helped in some way... happy hunting

Someone worth knowing accepts you for who you are, not for what they think you should be. You are correct that you don't have to sell out your values, etc. As far as attractiveness goes, I have found that what is beautiful to some is hideous to me (when some of these supermodels are referred to as "the beautiful so-and-so" all I can think is "you have GOT to be kidding me!) Finally, perfection simply does not exist, so you have to find ways to take the bad with the good. It's those whose bad traits outweigh their good traits that you need to stay away from.

Never settle for less than you desire or you're not only doing yourself an injustice but the person you're seeing.Im sure they wouldn't feel desired by knowing they were settled for.Its got to be all the way for both sides to be happy.
