> It's also a problem of idealization, and this is much more difficult than just hormonal responses. I can be rational about what I'm feeling physically. I can differentiate feeling horny from feeling in love. Most people can. The problem is separating out what you see from what you just think you see in a person. When I want to, I can be an extraordinarily bad judge of character!

I think you're probably a good judge of character but just impatient. It's difficult to live life alone even for introverted 5s and when someone with ANY good qualities comes along it's easy to fall into traps. The problem is thare are not many 5 women and women with 5 wings are only slightly more common. But if you wait for someone like that to come along then you're more likely to be satisfied in the long run.
