everyone is looking for Mr/Ms right, sometimes they have chance to meet or even they meet someone good but because of something very small (for example they want their partner to be 3 inches taller/shorter then them but he/she is one inch les then what they want or he/she lives at a place which is 30 mins away from them) they continue their search for next few years.
I know its two sided thing but I know some people personally who are genuinely seeking a partner but still alone.
what I want to say is do you think that people should be more flexible about their mach. you can't find everything in one person so you should ignore if he/she has a bad point and look at the good ones.

I think people should settle for nothing less than what they want. They may be looking for specifics, but when the right person happens to fall into there life it might be amazing how fast they will be willing to compromise. JMO

I wonder what sort of things you will hardly compromise, Jeeeps?

Amen, thank you.
That's the way it is going to be with now, only what I want.
We all have ideas of what we believe the perfect partner is-- ideas and thoughts are as unique as every individual is. The funniest part is how varied our real acceptability ranges are.
For example: Jack is handsome, money-maker, quiet and down to earth. Perfect guy for some! But then there are others who believe his personality is the same as a boiled potato, and the time you spend with him means you would rather be clipping your gnarly toe nails.
Example 2: Sally is hawt~! Has no job but great baby-making hips, perhaps she will enjoy reading at some point down the road and could eventually maintain a conversation beyond her nail polish color.
Example 3: Edna is plain, smart, fun, funny, employed but has 9 children and 8 still live at home. She is everything you want, but the responsibility is very scary with all of those kids.
The point I am trying to make is: when you do encounter the person who sets off all the right "bells" you will adapt if you truly do fall in love, that is the real acceptability range.

Being a lefty, I'm having a hard time finding Ms Right!
Naah, I'm just helplesly drawn and attracted to beautiful personalities.
I'm not sure if we can ignore bad points,if that was what you really meant. But depending on the badness of bad points, there should be a threshhold of acceptability? I consider that a complete package deal. I think there's good and bad points in all of us--just depends on personal tastes and acceptances. And that is being flexible.
I believe that all of us know what we want in a partner and are willing to wait for the right one to come into our lives. To settle for less that that is not an option for me as well. Compromise is just one of the 3 C's that are needed in a healthy relationship. The other two are Communication and Commitment.

You can think of your ideal, but end up sitting next to someone who appeals to you. That is what you should look for, not your ideal. He isn't like anyone you have met before and you just hit it off. It just happened to me. He's older than I, but still very much with it. He also lives near me very close to me.
So what they say is true for me, you can meet someone accidentally at the right time and right place. My best girlfriend met her husband at the grocery store.
