[quote=Anonymous]I am in my early 40s and still single.

What I really, truly wish is that friends who got married in their late 20's and early 30's would have just leveled with me and told me to settle and to be more candid in how they ended up settling instead of pretending their DH were awesome, amazing and did everything perfectly.

Yes, now I have the perspective to understand. But back then, in the thick of wallowing in my own alone- ness, I kept hearing how wonderful and great all these guys were that my friends had and every guy that came along I seemed to find some flaw with and so did they.

If a friend had just said "meh, so he's got a few flaws so does my DH but the majority is ok and quite frankly I didn't want to be single forever and I really wanted to start a family, etc..."  Sure some friends really have found a gem of a guy but the overwhelming majority have found your average guy with flaws.

Now obviously this applies to guys who had no major flaws such as being an addict, criminal, no job/homeless, serious mental illness, etc...
