It has been suggested to me that I should drop my standards and opt for Mr. OK-For-The-Time-Being whilst waiting for Mr. Perfect to come along.
What would that say about me as a human being? It would make me a heartless user.
I would not wish to think I was an understudy in a relationship, and certainly would not do that to someone else.

never drop your standards, however frustrating it might be  -:|:- London Munch -:|:- LondonAlternativeMarket -:|:- | |

Never go for second best, it will never satisfy you and only hurts the other person in the long run. I know it's tough holding out but it will be worthwhile when you find someone you truly like. Next Play Party - Evening Play Party Thurs 16th July 7.30pm - 12am Romford | |

Yes. But...... Standards are right: not married, non smoker, own teeth and hair, funny, .... Whatever. Then what? Mr Perfect may be there somewhere but you maybe need to wade through a few frogs. | |

But, I dont' believe there is a Mr Right for anybody. All realtionships are about compromise to a certain extent. | |

But whos to say that "mr Ok for now" might not turn out to be Mr Perfect ? It takes time to get to know someone properly, Its not fair to judge someone in a short time is it ? Any woman who wants equality with a man ... Lacks ambition ! | |

the trouble with searching for someone who is perfect is what if the turn out to be. I would be terrified of being measured against perfection. You cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.

And also, conversely, the Mr Perfect may over time turn into an arse. Personally I do not believe in perfection, in people or otherwise. There may well be several Mr-absolutely-lovely-and-wonderfully-matcheds... but never just one, or "The One". Of course do not compromise on your standards but be willing to inspect those standards from time to time and see if they are all valid. I found that making friends in a broad social mix eventually led to meeting someone who is rather wonderful and almost=perfect for me! Lip Up Phatty | |

Mr Perfect might walk on by if you're with Mr Right-for-now... |
