As it applies to real life of course.It seems to me that today dating isn't even worth trying anymore. It is a wasted effort. If you are not the hottest thing around you really don't have a chance with the opposite sex in your area. Men and women are both guilty of it, so don't say it is only the other sex that does it.I see it everyday, people ruining good relationships over the next " Hottie" that comes along. They also ignore potential lifetime mates to chase these impossible dreams of happy ever after with these fake or uninterested people. WAKE UP PEOPLE! You are setting yourself up for failure for which when you do settle down with someone, that someone will not be able to A)live up to those standards or B)have to put up with the emotional and sometimes physical baggage that you bring into the relationship. Now I know they say it is healthy to dream, but I think it is highly unhealthy to chase a dream that you honestly know is never going to be happy. If you are looking for somebody that is only physically atttractive to you ,but is not mentally and emotional compatable as well, you are just wasting your time and setting yourself up for a hard fall. Especially if you are one of these people who is in a relationship and is still chasing somebody else. Think about and then ask yourself how it would fell if somebody was actively doing that to you. I know we are all human, at least originally, but use your brains. Life might just be a little happier for you and those you care about.
