I think it’s not too much to ask for, to want to look for someone perfect. That is of course, if you deem yourself to be perfect.

I know I’m not perfect. It’ll be asking for a little too much to want someone who is perfect when I’m not. Everyone has his / her little flaws. It’s normal for the opposite sex to have them too. There has to be a compromise somewhere along the line. Perhaps you find certain points / criteria more important than others, and so you rank them high on the priority list. As it goes down, the willing-ness to compromise of the not so high priority list gets better. I’m pretty much sure the other party would feel that way too.

Some may go all out to discard the qualities which are compromised, and thus end up with their perfect partner. It’s probably like having a basket of apples, throwing out all the rotten ones, and saying that you’ve got a basket of perfect apples. Nothing wrong with that, IMO. As long as you are happy doing it that way, that’s good. Hey, it’s your life, isn’t it. Might as well be happy with what you are doing.

For me, I’ll go with compromise. Only difference is how much I would compromise. Perfect would be a bonus.
