:smile: Well, I have certainly learned a lesson.:smile:


:smile: When I lower my standards and try to form relationships with fat unattractive chicks (because I feel sorry for them)it ends up making me look like a loser too.:smile:


That's your mistake, not theirs. It is unfortunate that they probably thought that you were being genuine.

:smile: Have you ever lowered your standards for someone, only to regret it?:smile:


oh boy.. if I go on a date with someone and it doesn't work out or they turn out to be a jerk, I just move on and forget them.. but if it's someone I wouldn't usually date and think maybe for some reason they deserve a chance to get to know and then they turn out to be jerks it makes me mad... Cause I knew from the start I shouldn't have wasted my time by giving them a chance...

I kind of think that you don't really "lower your standards". If you accepted them in the first place, that's your standard.

Not if you denied, minimized, and rationalized away what you observed, learned, and felt because they had some redeeming qualities and promise. And, were really, really into you.

I don't think I lowered my standards but I have ignored my gut telling me what I knew was true and lived to regret it. This is sure what happened recently. I would say never again but then I don't want to let the ashholes of the world turn me into a person I don't want to be.

I want to have Faith, too. Unfortunately, its not so easy for me.

Nope. I tend to look for the best or good in everyone. However, when people protray themselves different from what they are you can't help that. From that I have learned to take time to get to know a person to truly know who they really are!

Thank you for the reminder. Sometimes I can be too hard on myself. I'm not the first one that ever got deceived or conned. It does take time to really know someone - and do we ever really know "all" of them, even our significant other? I'd wager not.
