When I was 16 I wanted the fairy tale. At 25 I just wanted a good man with a good job. At 30 I just wanted a man with a good work ethic. My standards may have been unrealistic at 16, but when I gave up looking altogether I got the fairy tale.

I don't think we lower our expectations I think that we become more realistic as we get older.

Me too! I think that the 'clue' here is that we were not 'looking' for love at all, so it had a chance to 'find us' when we were not 'running all around, looking under bushes' ... and I was 46 when I found my 'fairy tale' ...

If your expectations are unrealistic then you should lower them, but only then.

I don't think we lower out expectations, we are just more accepting of people and we "choose our battles".
