[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my experience, most people who end up finding someone to marry before their mid 30s see their potential pool of partners as the people who are interested in them and pick from this pool without feeling like doing so is settling. In contrast, many of the people who stay single for a long time focus on a different potential pool of partners that includes people who are objectively way out of their league, and see a relationship with someone on their own level as settling. I use gender neutral pronouns here because I've seen this dynamic play out with men and women. [/quote]

+1. But compatibility isn't just looks. For example, I come from what would generally be considered a lower middle class background, and have done well academically and professionally. Not going to delude myself, it is highly unlikely when I was single that a woman from a country club, Ivy League background would have been interested in me. Not because of looks and education, but our backgrounds are not going to square unlike the movies.[/quote]
