I believe the majority response on that other thread is, "what's settling? Nobody's perfect."
If some Edith is on a dating site saying she won't settle or give quarter to any kind of fault, then she'll be there for a long time. I don't know many people who place personals and consider themselves the catch of a lifetime.
In fact, I don't know anybody who considers themselves that beyond the age of 25. I'm not, in no way. I think your response, Captain Kirk, was 100% correct, and I envy your fancy chair. Any woman would be crazy to pass such a luxury up.
