    The people on the couch don’t exist. It’s an unrealistic expectation nobody actually has.

    Edit: the unrealistic part is that they have so few corners to fit and they fit perfectly. It’s more complicated than that.

      Maybe not that phrasing, but there is the phrase, “You’ll find someone”. There’s the belief that there’s somebody for everybody out there, parents eventually seem to want their kids to find someone and make grandkids. I mean, given that there’s billions of us on the planet, there’s bound to be somebody compatible out there, maybe not in your zip code or country, but they’re out there.
