ive been told by friends and family that when it comes to guys im too picky! i really dont know if thats true or not i guess i just know what im used to and what i like. if you have any advice or feel the same way i would love to hear it!
:)

I prefer the term, "selective," thank you very much.

I am very picky, I don't know that I am too picky though. I just know what I want from a relationship and what I don't. I am very well versed in what are typically "deal breakers" for me. And while I never turn down a new friend, I am quick to tell people that's all I am interested in when I find deal breakers, in either their behavior or in my own that I know I am unwilling to change. So why waste my valuable time or theirs? Is this wrong? Maybe but I don't think so. I have never felt that leading someone on was acceptable.

Nope. It's good to know what you want. Instead of getting into relationships over and over again that end in disaster. Stick to what you are looking for because when that person comes along it should be wonderful.

Stick by your guns!

Others cannot determine your happiness!

If you lower your standards you will only find misery and sadness!

Other than that concentrate more on yourself!

Relationships come and go!

Only the real ones last!

I dunno......I tend to think the divorce rate comes from people geting married IN SPITE of their dealbreakers.

If you're looking for a man from Wisconsin, raise your hand.

If you're not, raise your standards.

I myself am not that picky, but being too picky will take you right out of the dating scene. Sometimes people need a reality check.

You are picky. No big booty man!

I can't raise my standards my unmentionables would show Long time no see Keith

I get looked over a lot because of my weight, but the fact remains....I do need to lose lots more weight... I can't fault a person for their choices, but it does still hurt my lil' feelers occasionally.

Pats is right though, many of us could be a bit more open minded.

How ya doin', Des? Good to see ya!

I'm looking for mutual attraction, and someone who doesn't make me want to go running and screaming for the safety of my home. I haven't found her in the decade since my marriage ended.

If that's being "picky" then so be it.

I said I'm not that picky, I did not say I would just date anyone!!!
My preferences are lower than most.

The object is to be able to grow old WITH someone, not BECAUSE of them.

heh

For myself, I want someone that I can respect and vice-verse. I want someone I can trust, as that hasn't been a big variable in my life to this point, sad to say. Someone to laugh with and to be at ease. Someone that enjoys some of the same things I do as well as some I know nothing about as I love trying new things. Some one with integrity who is not afraid to stand up and hold on to their own beliefs. A great sexual attraction wouldn't go amiss either but that will be there if I find someone with the qualities I hope to find and share. Looks to me are irrelevant as real beauty to me is in the person not in the covering. So am I too picky? again I say maybe I am. But I also know I wouldn't be happy without these things. Nor would I be able to make someone else happy without these things. Why set myself and someone else up for a fall when I know there are missing components and attributes?

my sentiments exactly... why waste time when you know your just going to change for that person or they for you..

thanks for all the advice already lol. all of you are right in one or another...

ME?! Im not picky.
