I say go for perfection. Aren't you worth it, after all?
Figure out -exactly- what you want in a mate, and then stick to that, no matter what. Remember, the more selective you are, the more selection you will have.
I recommend learning at least one method of character analysis. Graphology is my favorite (it spots trouble right away, and it can be used as a flirting method).
