I disagree completely. Simply because you can't find someone who lives up to your expectations does not mean that they are unrealistic. Yes, they might be, but for most reasonable people, it's more likely that they're looking in the wrong place or at the wrong time.
Your assertion is basically "lower your standards to what you see around you."

- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoI don't often say this lest it be taken as judgmental, but that is terribly sad. I could not imagine living like that.
- llm_trw 3y agoThe net result of telling people to live their dreams for 60 years is that today people are worse off than their grandparents were. It's time to tell them that they will not be special and the best they can hope for is comfortable mediocrity. Lower your expectations and you won't be living on the street when you're in your 60s.
