What I find with people who use this expression of deserving a certain type of person is an attitude of entitlement, that they are owed someone based on who they think they are.
Someone who makes a scientific breakthrough deserves a Nobel prize for their achievement.
Someone who goes on a killing spree deserves to rot in prison.
Thinking you're all that and therefore you deserve your fantasy woman is flat out wrong. No one deserves another human being as a result of their existence in the world and the idea that they're owed someone.
Fixed it!
This is what Lafleur is trying to say. This I deserve stuff is not something done only by the male gender.

Who thinks like that? I don't think I deserve anything. Nobody does. I don't why you're being so hostile towards me because I never said that.
Oh, we don't agree on the topic. That's the part that makes sense.
But when you present a photo and put words into my mouth about how I would react to that photo, I correct you by telling you how I actually react to the photo, and you respond with, "I'm not wrong, you just don't agree with me," that is not logic. You can't logically discredit my first impression of the photo as being wrong because it's a personal opinion. You can disagree with the principals and reasoning, but you can't label the thought wrong.
Like you said, How can someone be wrong about a subjective topic? I told you my subjective opinion, and you responded with: I'm not wrong, you just don't agree with me.
Yes, you were wrong about the first impression I had regarding a photo of a large man with a gun. Sorry, honey.
I was referring to the overall topic in general. Perhaps you should go back to my first post on this thread and see what I am referring to. Hint: it's about the double standards of who deserves what in a relationship.
I didn't say you did. But there are people here who DO believe they deserve someone and that isn't how the world works.
Yes, actually it is the way it works. Like I said before, I bet you think that you deserve better than an ex-convict, drug dealer, or abusive spouse. People have expectations and requirements all the time in their relationship endeavors. There are women who won't date men who are unemployed. There are men who won't date fat women. Why? Because they think they DESERVE a man with a job or a skinny woman respectively?
That's EXACTLY how the world works. Stop kidding yourself.
If I must explain (even if it is to the person I didn't ask), usually when a person says what green papaya said about "rather stay single, and not for comittment, etc", its a female. I just wanted to see if I was right or not. Usually women say things like that because they know that when they all of a sudden want someone, all they have to do is smear make-up on their face and walk out on the front porch. That's why I was telling the OP to " settle ". He's a guy, its harder for us to " not settle".
