Assuming that you are single at that specific point in time, of course.
Also, hopefully my question here is clear enough right now.
Personally, assuming this cure to aging is safe and cheap enough for everyone to afford, I would probably be pickier in terms of picking dates/SOs/spouses for me such a scenario since it will allow everyone to look pretty young (as if they were in their 20s). Thus, unless there are literally no other good options, why should I date someone who didn't utilize this cure to aging (as much) even though they could have?
Anyway, I apologize for my honesty here, but yeah.
There is a book series called 'Delirium' that touches on this...you'd probably find it fairly interesting.
Basically, since people can live 'forever' there is a moratorium on reproduction so that the earth doesn't become overpopulated. In the story, people rarely stay together because there is unlimited opportunity, but it also means that people are a bit more depressed because they're never really happy. Regardless, it's an interesting premise.
So, how long do you want to wait to find the hypothetical perfect person? 60? 70? 80? Does that person even exist?
I'm not sure I understand the question.
OK--let me try making this simple.
-We obviously don't have a cure to aging right now.
-Hypothetically, you will live long enough to see such a cure be developed (and it almost certainly will eventually be developed).
-At the time that this cure is developed and becomes safe and cheap for everyone, you will hypothetically be single.
-When you will be looking for a date/SO/spouse after this cure is developed and commercialized, will you generally become pickier about the looks and physical/sexual attractiveness of your date/SO/spouse than you were before this cure to aging got developed/created and commercialized?
No. If I live a lot longer, I can play around more and still have plenty of time to spend with (perhaps a series) of great matches. Mistakes would be less damaging, less permanent - relationship risks would be more acceptable.

1. Thanks. I'll definitely look it up.
2. What happens if reproduction occurs anyway in this book?
3. Oh, you mean due to much more hot young-looking people being around?
My ideal in terms of looks is someone who is obviously an adult and who looks like she is in her 20s. In this scenario, due to this cure to aging and due to her successfully using it, her actual age can theoretically be as high as 120+ years.

Gotcha....
My ideal is someone who doesn't use a lot of chemicals and drugs for vanity reasons so your scenario doesn't work for me.
