I know I have some strict ones, like smoking, since I have allergies. But what about you? Have you made your peculiarities so high no man/woman can reach them?

I perved a couple of women I thought should be having a serious relationship by now just to see what they said. After reading their profiles (unfortunately for me one smoker) I cannot fathom how they can be "available." They both are great sounding, so do you have mental images the guy/gal has to live up to that is not in your profile?

Just curious, good thing I'm not a cat!

Oh, I'm the worst! I'd like whoever she is to have the following traits:

Smarts - I'm not necessarily talking college educated, but I'd like her to be able to form a coherent sentence or two. Ideally she'd be more intelligent than me, but that shouldn't be too hard.

Energetic - I would like to find someone who is going to make my life more interesting by just having more in it. Sure, it might be hard for me to keep pace, but I've been chasing women my whole life, so I'm used to it.

Looks - All beauty starts with a sparkle in the eyes and an easy smile. If she's got that, she'll easily have me.

Spontaneity - Plans are nice if you are constructing a building, but ideas will take you anywhere. A sense of adventure is a must.

Smokers need not apply - I gave up tobacco, and I want someone who will keep me on that path.

Visionary - Someone who sees me not for who I am, but who I have the potential to be. I've been alone a long time, it will take a special person to break me from the ways I've set myself into, and just make me a better someone.

Independence - If I wanted to be a caretaker, I'd just get a pet. I'm looking for someone to share my life with, not someone to support.

I bet you don't feel so picky now!!!

I think you can have the strictest
standards in the world..if no one
wants you, it is a moot point.

My requirements are pretty simple. . . .He needs to have some legal sorce of income beable to hold a decent conversation,make me laugh,isn't into drugs or the bar scene,Believes in God. and values family,and has a thing for Large Luscious Red Heds

I'm suppposed to have standards??

You have to set your boundaries, and stick with them, no matter what they are. YOU know what you're looking for. But, don't sweat the small stuff.

Spontaneity was always a hard one for me. I guess because I can get too cerebral.

I have been told that wanting her to be....
breathing....
Might be expecting too much!!!!

Morning Ghost !!!!!!!!

Watzup Boone!!

Nope, my standards are just right, seeing how I've found what I want. :)

I am considering lifting one standard that seems to be holding me back.
I am removing the...."must live 3000 or more miles away from me" from my standards.
Maybe this will improve my situation!!!!

Reminds me of that quote from "Bull Durham: 'Don't think, it can only hurt the team.'"

There might be some wisdom there, as long as you are reacting with intelligence.

No. I don't think I have set my standards too high. Apart from the usual...no-one abusing drugs and/or alcohol; no one involved in any sort of criminal activity, serious mental health issues etc.

I'm just looking for someone that knows how to lead as well as follow...it's all about finding the right sort of balance with someone.

Yes, I'm sure I do. That's why I'm still single......

i just want a beard.
/:

I stopped driving standards years ago, too much clutching. I'm more of an automatic guy these days.

A lot of people have a problem with this one, its my only standard:

Don't be a douche.

I don't really have any set standards...but I am picky about who I date. Which probably makes no sense to anyone but me, but that's ok. I'd rather be single than with someone that doesn't make me feel loved and happy.
