So atleast most of us guys/girls have an image of an ideal life partner. Be it looks, education etc. I am sure to an extent all of us settled for someone who probably didn’t meet all of our stds of an “ideal” life partner.
For those folks, how did it work out? did you ever regret for not perhaps holding out longer?
PS. To the guy below talking about Jennifer Aniston, when I said “ideal” image I didn’t mean movie stars. There is a difference between realiistic expectations of your life partner and pure fantasy.
There is no such thing as Ideal life partner unless you are talking about Bollywood movies.
One has to mold his/her life around the partner that he/she is married to. In this molding process, you find out some of the pluses that you love and some of the minuses that you ignore......

You can marry someone who is ideal and still be unhappy, and you can marry someone who is not ideal and be very happy. I think the key is work on your relationship and to marry someone that you are compatible with.
The concept of 'ideal life partner' shattered for me after going through just 4-5 proposals. Small issues like guy's height forced me to conclude that there is no such thing as 'ideal' in this world. Since I am not perfect, I soon learnt to accept people with their shortcomings. But there should be compromise on both sides. Why do guys want a perfect girl when they themselves are not perfect? When a girl is considering a guy with less height or less education, the guy's families should also accept the girls as they are rather than commenting on how over weight a girl is or how big her family is.

Perfect is someone you 'click' with. They could be older/younger, tall/small, polite/rude, etc...
I'll probably get grilled for saying this but from what I see, girls are way more selective then guys.
Me and my friend were talking about this the other day, and she said I have way too many expectations! Like the kind of guy I want needs to be classy, and sophisticated. He should wear a wrist watch to show his punctuality. He needs to be nice, kind and down to earthy. He should work out daily. He should be semi religious. He should want to do something with his life, whether he want to be a doctor, or a mailman, I'm totally cool with that. He should be taller then me, and older. He needs to be out going. He should be "shareef" lol.
But the last guy I liked fitted in the none of the above. So I believe we all have this image of a "perfect" dude, but all these expectations go away when you start liking the guy you marry, or like in general... ya.
