Marriage = Settling
You can't possibly tell me that I'll be SO arrogant as to suggest that I've found the ONE and ONLY person for me out of 6 (well, I'm straight, so 3) billion people? Taking away the 0-21 and 40-1000000 age range into which I will probably not be marrying, that's sitll several tens, if not hundreds, of millions of people. Granted most of the people roughly my age are, for lack of a better word, dumb, and thus un-maritable (I dunno, that sounded the closest variant of "marryable" to being an actual word, and I'm too lazy to look up in a dictionary.com despite typing all this crap out), assuming there are 100 million people out there halfway viable due to age group, 99% (probably more, even though intelligence is supposedly normalized at a 50% being stupid, given stupid = < mean IQ) are ineligible (this includes the girls that are way too smart for me) meaning 1 million people still left. That's a lot of people to meet and cancel out.
I suppose adjusting for acceptable looks, personality, and someone actually willing to marry me (quite unlikely, given my current state of mind) might leave me just desperate enough to marry someone.
... Maybe I will be so arrogant. Or maybe I'll write a paper on the actual likelihood of finding the 'one true love'? I wonder if that's even feasible. What a curious research paper, though that's geared towards the 'softer' (and thus those at which I'm not good) sciences (read: Philo- and Pscyhology).
I mean, really, what determines a relationship's strength other than the time invested into said relationship? Clearly, the general trend is the longer the relationship the stronger it is, given difficulty of leaving it.
But consider. If I were dating this girl for 3 years, what's to stop any random girl i don't know from being "that one true love" more so than the 3YG? Am I really waiting for a choir of angels?
Funny, I actually typed this up a while ago, but am just now posting. I'm not quite done with this thought yet; hopefully it'll come back to me.
