I shouldn't respond to a troll AC, but I want to say two things:
1. People should never settle. If they're not finding the right one, that's unfortunate, but they'll never be truly happy if they settle.
2. I've spent quite a bit of time studying people and personality types. There's a ton of variation in personalities that a lot of people don't even know exist. I'd like to think it's just because they don't know to look for it, but I suspect it's more that they can't imagine that everyone isn't like them or possibly even think that there's something wrong with people that are different. More introverted and/or inwardly focused people sometimes need time to themselves. It literally drains energy having to deal with people. Dealing with friends and family drains less energy than dealing with strangers, but it can still be a drain. It doesn't mean we love our families any less.
It took me longer than I expected to find my fiancee, but it eventually happened and we're both very happy. We go hiking and backpacking together on a regular basis. We've coached and still play soccer together. We have intelligent discussions that I've rarely been able to have with other people. That said, I still occasionally disappear into my office to play a game, read, or fiddle with my gadgets. I need that time to recharge, as does my fiancee.
