In other words, is there too much pressure to find someone who is a "10" physically, a "10" in sex appeal, a "10" financially, a "10" in prestige and career?
I just get a feeling that the social media, movies, songs, reality shows, the emphasis on famous people all the time, plastic surgery, photoshop, and ostentatiousness (showing off one's wealth publicly), has turned us all into people who no longer look at the inside of a person, but are hugely obsessed with external and materialistic things.
Even the crazies, like that kid that shot the university students, was enraged that he wasn't super-wealthy, and that the girls he sought (always "10s") did not want a date with him.

Oh gosh, yes.
Plenty people walk around believing they should never settle, never compromise, never accept anything less than 100% of what they want in a partner. The believe in The One, and won't rest until they find him or her. It is really a juvenile attitude.

I'd like to know your views.
He was wealthy. But he wasnt attractive. And yes people are taught to shoot for the moon when they are just above ground.
There is a lot from parents to be the very best and if unattainable it causes depression with stress.We need to learn to just do our best and obtain that.Or more teachers in life to think positively.
She may be a 10 in looks but a heart of evil person.
I've never felt societal pressure in anything regarding my romantic life.
