There's another similar and equally big problem that's really just the
opposite:  not "viewing everybody in sight as a candidate", but rather
having a picture in advance of who would be a "viable" candidate, and
being stuck with that picture.  It's one thing to be "selective" about
choosing an SO, but looking by pre-determining the selection criteria
can be as counterproductive as "trying too hard".

(No one said that I adhere to these cute things I come up with.  I just
comes up with them.)
