Men want "Perfect Women"?

I hear a good amount of women say sometimes that men should lower their beauty standards because they want absolutely "perfect women". I'm not saying I'm looking for the "perfect woman" but, if a man lowered his standards and got with a woman he wasn't fully attracted to wouldn't that be considered dishonest? Me personally if I was with someone that I wasn't fully physically attracted to I would always feel like I'd be left wanting more. I feel that it'd be unfair to a Woman to subject her to a relationship where her partner isn't fully committed to her mind, body and soul. Would it be fair to settle for a Woman when you know you can't fully commit yourself to her in your mind? The answer to me is an obvious "No" but I just wanted to hear others thoughts on the subject. Also I know that looks aren't the "end all be all" but they do play an important role when it comes to being in a long-term relationship.

This is going to sound like a jab but it really isn't intended to be.
I write this with the purist sincerity.
You will change your views on what is important in a mate when you grow up.

@Dainbramadge I literally have to keep copy pasting this response. "Didn't say I'm looking someone who's "perfect". I'm just saying I've heard women say every now and again that men want "perfect women"."

@wanderer1991 Your getting those responses because of everything you wrote after the word But ...

@Dainbramadge You all are making assumptions though.. I literally never said "I'm looking for the perfect woman". I'm looking someone who's reasonably attractive in my eyes. Enough to keep me interested for the long term.

@wanderer1991 See. Your still saying the same thing that you stated after the word ..But... again.
Let me see if I can explain.
Looks have a big part of a relationship for you because that is what it would take to keep you interested.
When you grow up you realize that looks may play a part in the initial attraction but that isn't what keeps you coming back.
LIke I say. I'm not bashing you in any way.

@Dainbramadge You're accusing me of being immature how is that not bashing? Don't assume we have the same preferences either. And if you read till the end you'd notice the part where I said "Also I know that looks aren't the "end all be all"".
