Recently, I was told that the reason why no one can find true love is
because our standards are too high.We have this mental image of our
"perfect" mate and in reality he/she doesn't exist.Not in this world
anyway. I think this person is full of crap.Whether we have high
standards or not, our perfect mate does exist.High standards just means
we know what we want,right?I believe in True Love and I know that there
is someone out there for everyone.God made us a pair,a better half, it's
just all about timing and faith. If I am 30 yrs old and still single or
even 40 I'm not giving up because I know what I have to offer a man and
I have faith that God will bring me my perfect mate.

Ahmen!! I was once told that in a 15 mile radius that there are on an
average about 15 women that could be considered my soul mate. Personaly
I think this term is over rated. My soul belongs to one. God. I do feel
however that there is that certain someone that is meant for you. I too
have a vision in my mind and in my heart of who she is. I just not have
met her yet. I feel that before we are granted this type of blessing
that we must first go through certain things in life so that when we do
finally meet, we will be that vision for each other. Don't get me wrong.
There is no such thing as a perfect person, but I do believe that we can
be perfect for each other. It's by dealing with life's ups and downs
that we become this. It's by the choice's we make and how we choose
handle the ups and downs that will in God's time, make us perfect for
each other.
Are my standards to high? I don't feel this is true. I think that they
where at best to low for to long. I will not settle for less again.

I hear you on that.I used to have low standards and just took what I
could get if they would have me but I wasn't happy. I'm glad I actually
made standards for myself and not just for myself but for my daughter.If
something happens to me(God forbid) she will need someone to look up to
and I want it to be someone who is respectable and caring and all the
things I am looking for in a mate.I like what you said about the ups and
downs because it is true.The more we experience the more we can
understand eachother when we find that special someone.

could be

i definitely don't think anyone should lower their standards but some
people are way to picky in the sense that they will rule out a special
person for some arbitrary reason. that is their deal though and i don't
care if they do.

pickey is another way of weeding out what you dont want.

He does have a point though.Some people are like that.They get so caught
up in how they want their better half to be that when they DO meet
someone who is willing to do anything for them they look for the
smallest detail that isn't right and then break up.Like they leave the
toilet seat up.you can work with that. Or they like onions in their
food..well kepp some mints on hand.lol

if people are to pickey its like shooting themselves in the foot!!!

just keep... keepin on!

I think men have higher standards than women.Why? Well, because most
men(emphasis on most) expect their better half to look like a supermodel
or a playboy pin up.Lets face it, not all women look like that and if
they do it's bound to go south anyway.Not many men look for the heart in
a woman and all the things they could offer.Its all about how fine they
are,if they would bang them the first night and how big their sexual
appetite will be "if" they give them a chance.
