Well, to be fair, outside of the opinion pieces, many people are more reasonable. Men aren't that demanding on how we look and women aren't as demanding as we think. People keep going on dates, hoocking up, starting relationships and so on. hahaha
I've a friend who doesn't like to date guys with perfect bodies because she says that puts to much presure on her to go to the gym, go on diets, etc. She rather date guys with less perfect bodies but that have interesting conversation.
I was lucky to find another "nerd" like me by basically ignoring are the traditional dating advice. lol.
I think most people aren't that demanding on looks. We just have our own little kirks or preferences. Finding someone is just a mix of dumb luck and being honest with yourself about what you really need in a relationship.
