I would argue that a lot of us know what we want, but don't know how to get it.

That's kind of what I meant by the above statement. We know what we what, but would have difficulty trying to get that. If lacking in confidence, social skills,& fear from past failures might prevent people from trying.

As far as the rest goes, I know exactly what I'd want in a woman, I could nit-pick and build my perfect, ideal woman, but that's unrealistic. I don't need somebody to be perfect or fit my image of a woman. Settling to me is if I have to think very strongly about something I dislike about a potential partner and forcing myself to overlook it, despite knowing I cannot. I tend not to do that.


I agree. If someone has the idea that they "settled", then it's not a good situation.
