Like someone for their strengths love them for their flaws

On the whole humanity's goal overall and to the specific individual is to find happiness. Isn't it? I see a lot of people who see it fit for themselves to wallow in their own problems. The question why not? We like people for their strengths but must love them for their flaws (or at least tolerate them). That stands to reason that people who wear all their imperfection on their sleeves will be able to weed out people around whom can only like them, driving them away with their flaws. What will remain should be a circle of people whom have the potential to love you, to look past your flaws maybe even embrace them.
On the other hand isn't our society coming to a head with our values on what's on the inside versus what's on the outside. Our flaws by their very definition are our weaknesses. If history has shown us anything it's that the weak are dominated by the strong. Everyone has flaws it's just a matter of burying your flaws deep enough so that all anything sees are first glance are strengths. For the betterment of ourselves shouldn't we surround ourselves with strong people. Seeking to adopt their better traits. Learning their strengths to turn them into our own.
There must be a balance at some point. Weak, strong what difference does it make?
