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.


True, but I think one can have reasonable reqirements. Such as not be an a-hole or a bizzatch. Not be a closet drinker or an angry drunk. Belief in some sort of higher power is not so much to ask. I envision what it would be like 6 months later with that person, and then I can better decide if they are right for me.

I really don't have requirements.

I prefer they be intelligent, honest, open minded, have dark hair, like to travel and things along those lines.

Exactly, reasonable requirements are essential to weeding out potential train wrecks. I could not work with someone who hated kids or didnt care for family or God as these are essential themes in my life and my childrens. It would just be wasting their time to even entertain a person who didnt value those things along with me.
