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 a very interesting question - I think that it is important to remember that everyone has different preferences and standards when it comes to physical attraction. So, I do not think that it is necessary to lower your standards to find someone who you are more compatible with, or who you feel more connected to, on a deeper level. I think that physical attraction can be a very important factor in a relationship, but I do not think that it is the only factor - so I do not think that it is necessary to lower your standards in order to find a partner who you can build a deep and meaningful relationship with.
