I could not agree with you more. There are people that have to choose between being alone or lowering their standards. Sometimes your standards should probably be adjusted on the fly as you age, gain/lose weight or as other attractiveness factors in your life change.
I also do not blame you for assuming I'm unattractive and lack charisma. Assuming any online persona is a nitwit with issues is most often the safe bet. Luckily, people online are really easy to ignore. I think the site even offers an ignore button.
