Should you still have faith in the 'one' or is it over- rated?

Should you still have faith in the one or is it over- rated?
I've spoken to alot of females and some males and due to repeated bad experiences have lost faith in 'The One' people especially women who settle for whatever they can get or stay in a dead end relationship holding on to the hope that the person may 'one day' change ,(trust me I've been there) men and women who are not even worth your time or energy.
I always used to say " don't settle for less then the best" and somehow along the way stopped thinking the best existed, (like alot of people) and just wasted my time on alot of waste that just made me bitter, insecure and hatefull towards men. Then too top it all off for me I got pregnant for a man who was far from the one and totally lost faith that I could find the love that I so longed for.
Now single mum I thought that, that was for me, it was going go be me, my child and 2 cats (lol), how was I going to meet a man who was willing to father my child and love me the way I wanted to be loved. I thought I was asking for too much from one person, and when I'd hear of stories of women who were engaged or moving in with there Mr Right, Mr Perfect. I 'd be like please she's just lucky!! (HATEING) These women and men are not lucky they are normal people like you and I. That have simply meet there 'the one'.
Thing is people will always treat you however you let them, so don't let them; and please "you can't help who you like" is just a poor excuse to be taken for a fool.
The same also goes for men how do you expect to find the one when you only keep your eyes on our breast and batty, only thinking about what you can get and not on the person inside. Never really letting your self go always holding back, the mandem will only be there for so long. A woman is more then a beat, she's there to be your companion.

Love is alot more then people think, its not just saying it because it sounds good, or because the other person said it to you first, love is not selfish, it's kind, it dosnt seek after it own heart, but looks out for your best interest, it's more then a passing emotion, it's definately more then several nights in bed, its also not looking for a perfect person but simpy someone who's perfect for you. Too Many people confuse love and lust and its really sad to see. Just because a man or woman can fuck your brains out dosn't make that love.
Now I'm not claiming to know all about love, nor I'm I claiming to be in a perfect relationship however I know the person I'm with is the "one" I want to spent the rest of my life with. Can you say the same?
