Topic: Dating Perferences..or Dating Predjudices!?!?! | |
---|---|
You post the same topic up using different words and the answer is always the same: People have their own preferences. but my impression of the OP's point is that sometimes these preferences can get so picky that they are barely, if at all, realistic and I agree with her And that is your preference. Everyone has their own preferences, some are more laxed than others and others...well, won't find a date more than likely on this planet. None-the-less, they are preferences and we all have them to some degree. This is actually her some-odd hundredth topic on this very subject. Which is why I was annoyed. None taken. I rarely get annoyed actually, but once you've seen this topic come up every three or so months when she decides to reactivate...it tends to wear on the collective mind. |

From what I have seen; I think if you aren't picky; then you are just settling. If you settle; then you will end up being unhappy. I think these people that want a long term relationship/marriage are prepared to invest a lot of their time and effort to find that person to spend the rest of their life with. So, why would they settle? I think preferencs weed out those who may not be compatible with you. I don't think its about finding someone that is perfect but someone that is perfect for you. I guess the downside is if you are too picky; you may indeed never meet anyone.

It's nice to have preferences. If you don't want to date a smoker, then you shouldn't. If you want to date someone who is of the same faith as you are, then stick to it. Preferences are nice to have.
However. Have you ever thought to yourself "Well, such and such was a great person. They had all I wanted. All I desired. Except....(insert any list of reasons why you didn't pursue something with this person). I'm sure most have. And, while it probably was a good choice not to settle, what if it could have been an even better choice if you had decided to date this person? I'm just saying that there could have been a chance that the one person you looked over was "perfect for you". To me, you never find what you are looking for. I find that someone always shows up when you least expect it. And when you see this person, you could feel that they are awesome. And you like them. But then you give yourself a plethora of reasons to not pursue something with this person. They don't like this, or they hate that, or it isn't the right time. Dating comes down to making a choice....a decision. It's not just about dating someone. When you decide if you want to date someone, it should be because you truly want to see what you and this other person can build together. But the timing isn't right? When the hell is it ever right? We have reasons to not do something, and we make them seem so valid that sometimes we miss the big picture. Perhaps that person you decided against was the very person who would have made your life that much better. And don't give me that "Oh, I would feel it. I would know that they were right for me." Sometimes, even when you feel it, you still say no because you have reasoned in your head that it is for the best. I know I am playing devil's advocate here, but I feel it is a something to think about. Preferences are nice. But then again, do they always lead to the best result? |

Ok..so..I have noticed several profiles stating that the person is looking for an LTR or marriage but then goes on to state this looooooooooooong list of things that they don't want in a partner..and in scanning these lists they seem like REALLY trival reasons to not give someone a fair shot at getting to know them..things like Hair Color to The type of car that someone drives..Do people create the need for these types of sites by being too freakin picky?..Are people sabotaging their own chances at finding love?..I THINK SO!!!!..What do you guys think? i think most people are so superfiscial i have seen people rejected for being 1 inch to short in height is that effin stupid or what that is why i have no expectations from this site just to play the games and read post and to laugh at the dumb ones Cynicism is lethal. It is obvious when someone has experienced overload in the rejection arena so doesn't feel comfortable in their own skin. They have no pictures of themselves & tend to post angry or nasty messages in the forums. The writing is on the wall sorry to say. To the OP .. I do agree. People can be too picky and leave no room for the magic im perfectly happy in my skin and both my other sites are loaded with over 2500 pics but see i hav e been on this site before under a differant name and know how bad it got with the desprite women and i havent posted anything mean or nasty this i do know cause the mods would have said so i know find me would and kristy would have and the lil psycoligy thing wont work to get me to post a pic ohhh btw have a great night huggzzz |

No,nothing..just women in the 21st century are spoiled rotten and watch too much soap operas and tv series and think those are reality. At age 70, still lonely and childless, they wish they were more accepting. Don't forget ladies: "Tick-tock, tick-tock.. time is ticking away and time is not on your side. |

At age 70, still lonely and childless, they wish they were more accepting. Don't forget ladies: "Tick-tock, tick-tock.. time is ticking away and time is not on your side. Spoiled goes both ways. Most guys don't even bother with romance or a long-term relationship now, and confuse love and lay because they both start with L. That's why dudes don't talk so much about dating but hooking up. Also want to comment, it's one thing to have preferences, it's another to have inflexible requirements that a man or woman must absolutely have or meet. Either you need to compromise or be willing to agree to disagree and part ways. I don't think you'll ever meet a "perfect" person. We need to ask ourselves how reasonable our preferences, requirements, or standards are. I have preferences also but mostly general ones, and my specific ones, like not dating or marrying a chain smoker, heavy drinker, etc. are for health reasons and compatibility, which I think are reasonable. Then again, everyone thinks what they think is "reasonable." |
