Both, very good points and I agree 110%. The only thing I can caution you on is to, at least, keep your mind open. Sometimes you can miss someone truly special who's been under your nose the whole time. Also, youth doesn't help much either (at least it didn't for me). I ended up hurting at least one very special girl and messing up something that could have been great.
Society crams a lot of ideals down our throats and its up to the individual what they conform to. I don't eat then cram a plunger down my throat so you can wash clothes on my stomach, I don't have purple hair and a skateboard, I don't bleach my teeth or wear contacts. I am who I am naturally, if I am to be judged by people based off of my looks, then these are the people I chose not to associate with.
Essentially it boils down to how your comfortable and finding someone who shares your interests and feelings (to a certain point). I don't believe there's such a thing as a perfect mate but I do believe in a perfect match. No matter how great you think you are, you are flawed, we all are. Finding someone who accepts and loves you for your flaws, yet helps you round out your weakpoints is my idea of a perfect mate.
