well of course if ur prepared to 'settle for' then yes there can be someone for everyone but who wants to settle for? Not wanting to "settle" is not the same as expecting "perfection" in my opinion. i agree. |

i think we get brow beaten into believing there's someone for everyone but of course that is just not true. I wouldn't go so far as to say there isn't someone out there. There just isn't someone " perfect " out there. To expect "perfect" is perfectly insane! But yet, so many are suckered into thinking that there is perfection out there somewhere. Of course, they'll hide behind the ' not perfect, but perfect for me ' line, but what they are really saying is that they want someone without flaws. Never realizing that what they may consider a flaw, could actually go a long way toward making the person they are looking at more lovable. Keep in mind that, 94.9% of the time, what they say they want is NOT what they actually want. The minute what they SAY they want shows up in front of them, they either deactivate or switch personalities and become Chamelia, Queen of MPD. True enough. But many won't exactly turn tail and run when faced with what they say they want. They'll just find something about the person to make them not want him/her. Such as " Wow. He's kind, good hearted, funny ( add in any number of other cliches that people put into their profile ).... But he's ( pick one or any multiple of ) fat,bald, has bad teeth, has the wrong kind of dog, likes cats, drives a foreign car, lives in a mobile home...I can't go out with him/her!!!! " |

So why do you think people make such an effort to find the excuse to NOT be a match, then?

So why do you think people make such an effort to find the excuse to NOT be a match, then? Perhaps some of them have actually gotten comfortable with being alone. Some of them may have been burned so badly in the past that they are scared to death of having it happen again and will sabotage, without even realizing it, anything that could possibly lead to them giving their heart to someone again. It could be any number of reasons. |

People would rather you tell them what they want to hear. Those are the people that you don't want anyway and to accept one of them WOULD be "settling" regardless of your/their expectation of perfection. Not a happy answer that leaves everyone matched up and in love, but it's still the truth.

But plain old honesty doesn't go a long way toward finding a date. People would rather you tell them what they want to hear. That's why so many profiles are just cut-n-paste boilerplate plagiarisms of the same dozen cliches found on everybody else's profiles -- everybody knows them, everybody's comfortable with them, everybody knows they don't mean anything other than I'm too lazy to write something original. Safe, vapid, totally innocuous. That's what people are looking for. |

everybody knows them, everybody's comfortable with them But ya know what?? I am guilty of it too. There isn't much of anything in my profile that couldn't be found in any number of others. But I am just a normal dude. That's why those things are there. As a writer, you may be able to come up with a better way of saying the same old things, but for a normal schlub like me, it isn't all that easy. |
