Because yeah,"we accept the love we think we deserve" — shout out to some Perks of Being a Wallflower wisdom. Because you're being mean and shallow and why can't you see what a great thing you have? As pointed out in Psychology Today, we adapt the fallacy that our worth is tied up in our ability to find a mate.
Your heart is too special to be wasted on someone "who's nice, but..."It's almost easier when the person is a total asshole and serves you all the reasons to end things on a silver platter. We think we aren't complete until we find our other half.

Again and again one had to abandon them or they were taken away. That was the reason he had lived alone— when one was on the move one should not have anything that could bind one.

Second of all, there's nothing wrong with being single and being picky in dating isn't such a bad thing.Maybe you just can't help but notice how much happier others seem together, you're envious of all the cool things they're doing together, or they're just so compatible.
If you were with someone you truly wanted to be with and cared about, these things wouldn't matter.Or at least, you wouldn't be noticing them on such a grand scale.
