COMPATIBILITY is the big issue

Height is also no big deal, but I think most people may have a 'preference' for someone closer to their own height for physical compatibility, or some may want a small woman or a tall man


these are all just preferences, hopefully, if they become mandates it may be an issue,, same with age except with good reason

on a forum, I do have a mandate just because there are SO many people its a way to widdle them down, like the no tattoos, no piercings, kind of thing

but in REAL TIME , if I were spending regular time with someone on a routine basis, we could find other areas of compatibility that would totally render those preferences irrelevant


I can fall for most anyone (except those under 30 or over 60), physically speaking, in RT,

but on the internet, I Find it more logical to kind of compartmentalize a bit more...

Well said, msharmony. The internet is wonderful, but if anyone is looking for a match for a relationship, then wading through hundreds of people who aren't likely to be a match takes the focus away from the group that is most attractive to the seeker. It's a numbers game, for women in particular who find they have a LOT more online suitors than men have, and it sometimes becomes necessary to make cuts summarily.

What is up with the post about the age differences?? I mean we r all adults ok. Do what you want date who you want......Its NO ONE elses life and really NO ONES business but your own. Stop worrying about what society thinks about it or the righteous down the street. Live your life. Just a voice of opinion.


Humans do not (and most cannot) live in a societal vacuum. We are herd/pack animals, and we strive for the approbation of others.

It is hard to buck the system but easy to exhort others to do so. Being a woman who has and does buck the system, it takes ovaries of steel, and most can't take the criticism.
