That no matter how high I think my morals and standards are, I can be over-come with temptation just like anyone else, so, be careful what you say you would never do.

I learned that intelligence is overrated and that just because I am smart and correct does not mean that I am right...most people are simpletons and believe what they want irregardless of reality and facts.

I also realized that the old adage "Don't waste your time on someone unwilling to waste their time on you." is truly one of the wisest quotes about relationships.

Did I totally miss the point of the question?
that's what i've come to learn as well, the hard way i'm afraid...i recently read this somewhere: "don't reserve a space in your heart for someone that doesn't make an effort to stay there"

What have you (fortunately or unfortunately) learned so far?
I'm not a damsel in distress.

I don't need to bake and clean for a man.

I do get to make my own decisions.

I do get to create my life.

I do get to decide who I want to be, regardless of past choices and experiences.

I do get to do what I want and get paid for it.

I can attract the love of my life and live everyday we have together in bliss and harmony.

That after 18~or so years of my mother telling me i was special not a single girl seemed to concur.
At that point I realized I had tried a lot with little success, but nothing hardly ever changes it.
22 now, nothings really changed, a few women came and went, but none of them were the ones I wanted, just those I had the opportunity to take and so I did to not be completely empty-handed.

When I was in my first two years of high school, I was super nice and sensitive to girls. But they all were leery of really nice guys, and the douchebags got all the action anyway. I didn't become a douchebag, per se, but I've had a somewhat more sex-oriented outlook since then, and for the most part it's paid off. I'm still chivalrous and nice, but nowadays I have no problem with not waiting on her hand and foot and trying to woo her like in the movies. I'm also quite fond of one-night stands, which would have appalled sophomore-in-high-school-me.
