Just musing...
I read an article recently stating that "settling" for someone less than your ideal person can be a good thing. Their position was that "perfection is the enemy of the good"...and as I get older, I wonder about this. What I seek in a partner now is somewhat different than what I cared about years ago aside from the core values: kindness, tolerance, openness - those things haven't changed. It's been a little while since I broke up with the last guy and frankly, as Al Green sung, "I'm tired of being alone". But I don't want to be with someone just to avoid being alone, know what I mean?

Perfection is not possible, but knowing what is important to you is not. Sure, there are some things that we just overlook in a person, but there are certain things that should never be overlooked. If you do, you are settling, and you will never be happy.

I settled, we got along great, lots in common but there was always that something missing so it ended in divorce. I personally wouldn’t recommend settling.
