I don't know about you guys, but every adult in my life has told me this. Maybe it sounds a bit flowery but it makes a lot of sense. They told me that finding the right one takes a lot of work and searching, therefore implying that compatibility is somewhat rare. Some were more explicit, saying you'll date a lot of trash men/woman before you find the right one.

Seriously though, I think if we just acknowledge that compatibility is a rare thing maybe we can get rid of our unrealistic expectations. Also, what the adults around me failed to mention is that you also need to work on yourself to increase your chances of compatibility.
