I often hear people speak of preference, but I think of preference as something someone may PREFER but not something someone requires.

Some people only date one gender, race, whatever,, which would make it a requirement,,,others who date more than one but have a 'favorite' have a preference.

I , obviously, prefer musicians.
I prefer a masculine man who believes in being the head of his household and cherishing his family as Jesus loved the church. I prefer NO tattooes or piercings and someone taller than me would be ideal(I am five 8).

I require someone who loves God, doesnt look like a walking pin cushion or canvass,is not interested in being a thug or appearing to be one, doesn't use slang and vulgarity in regular conversation, cherishes family in general, and looks at a partner as a best friend and not a possession or physical conquest.

What are some of your preferences and requirements?

spiritual edge, integrity, sense of humor.... everything else I can work with.

Preferences are a bit more flexible, some give and take, requirements are not.


People that drink on a regular basis, use dope at all, and have no belief in God are just not options.

It's the internet, set your standards to unreachable!....seems to be common practice.

I just married a wonderful man that I met on Mingle2 (actually we met while it was "Just Say Hi")....but anyways knowing him for 1 yr. and 8 months we had our ups and downs w/ wether the relationship was going to work due to our "preferences". Could we live with the differences and learn to deal with certain things that wouldn't be our preference BUT because we fell in love and we realize we meet each other's requirements then it all fell into place. We were engaged this past June and married just the other eve. 12/23. What a wonderful Christmas this has been. THANKS MINGLE2. Dick and I both want you to know that it is possible to meet a wonderful mate online. It takes time and the "right" person and then the rest falls into place.

Congratulations.

Awesome...congrats

Well, I would prefer someone who was an intellectual type, someone creative and serious about it.

It's not an absolute necessity, but I find I get along better with people who are intelligent, good communicators, and who understand the creative process.

My only real requirements are: no drugs, no alcohol, and no kids.

congrats

I have met a wonderful man on Mingle 2 also.He is the best.

cute face,little waist and a big behind....

I prefer someone who is more intelligent than me (so I can learn stuff from them) I require someone with equal intelligence to me (so we can converse).

Is that a preference or a requirement?

I prefer food.

Requirements:

Communication
Honesty
Respectful
Responsible
Common sence

I prefer them to look like the scammers only not be one

Thanks for speaking out and also,,Congratulations to you both.
Love has found many on these pages. And many still have that Love.
I do feel now that MANY here,,do not REALLY want to find love forever as its more just a dazed sense of their thinking as they keep looking and saying they want a real love for life...
Yet,,even me,,I don't give my thoughts that extra push,,that I AM GOING TO WIN HER OVER TO LOVE ME....
I think its just that LACK,,,,,that keeps many of us, alone.?

Yeah, menage a trois has too many complicated rules to make it a good gig.



Ummm, a pulse?

Well, and maybe an understanding that a date isn't a job interview. As Freud said, "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."

And usually set this high by someone, that once you get to know them.. have Extremely low standards themselves.

The must...
Must not drink or do drugs (including mind altering prescribed drugs)I mean, if she is going to explode on me if she misses a couple of doses.. forget it!

Kids are ok, IF they are older teens, I am not good with small kids.
And mine are grown, don't want to do it again.

Lastly.. SHE MUST HAVE A JOB OR WILLING TO WORK.
I make a decent living, do my own cooking, keep a clean house, do my own laundry, keep the yard up. I can do it all MYSELF.
But I am not looking for someone to support.

Anything else can be adjusted and worked with.

The only thing I require are:

No drugs, no alcohol, have a sense of humore and be reasonably intelligent, must like cats as I own 2 beautiful cats and any man I am with must like them too.

Preference is no smoking but I can probly work around that as long as you don't smoke in the house (I have severe asthma and smoke can make it act up)

I prefer horseradish on ham, mustard on roast beef, and Pepsi over R C cola.

In relationships I have no requirements. Nobody's perfect. And I don't expect anyone to be. If you go through life expecting people to meet your requirements you may end up leading a very lonely life.
