And I can guarantee, from prior experience, that being with someone who treats you like dirt is worse than being alone.
of course, an you'd think it would be blatantly obvious, but most people see it as follows:
1. The worst possible fate is to be with a 'weirdo'
2. The second worst fate is to be alone.
3. The next worst fate is to be in an abusive relationship - preferable to being alone ('beat me, but don't leave me')
4. The best fate, while it does involve some personality criteria (see point 1), the majority of people meet them - more stringent criteria involved are 'hot girl' or 'rich guy with fancy job'
