I think I'd like to argue that we're not selfish enough to begin with. That we're so desperate to connect to people in a world where business is conducted via cold emotionless electronic medium instead of face-to-face that we're not holding people to the necessary standards that we should when set set out to find a partner.
Holding people to your standards isn't being selfish. We're not talking about divorcing someone because they bought you a 5 series BMW instead of a 6 here.
