ya, sure they do - me? eh - I don't get wigged out by a whole heck of a lot...

but my impression of the OP's point is that sometimes these preferences can get so picky that they are barely, if at all, realistic

and I agree with her

I had this conversation with my son today. Attraction and chemistry is about MUCH more than physical attributes and sex. People can change their outward appearance pretty simply and they can evolve sexually. The things that should matter are common values and goals though. So, something like, not wanting to date a fifty year old who is still interested in eighteen year olds,, speaks to a certain mentality that someone doesnt feel is compatible. Not wanting to date a blonde,,is kind of superficial, although stating that you prefer non blondes is not. I guess its all in the wording and the reason behind your 'standards.'

And that is your preference.

Everyone has their own preferences, some are more laxed than others and others...well, won't find a date more than likely on this planet. None-the-less, they are preferences and we all have them to some degree.

I think so too!


But alot are not really looking all that hard ya know

some are playing games

some just want friends

some make this their life


There are all kinds-- no different then real life

take it with a grain of salt ya know

maybe just maybe the real one will "pop" up!

yup and u r absolutely correct again ~ this must be the F&L nite to be rite nite I agree we are entitled to our preferenes , but some of them crack me up....I also tend to agree w/ u that this topic is overdone....maybe the OP is new -er to the threads???

would be nice if the real one would do "something" "up"

I could/should post this in every "Dating and Relationship" topic.

Every relationship I have been involved in has been different. No two women have ever been remotely the same and I like it that way. Short, tall, thin or not thin...it doesn't matter as long as I find her attractive, engaging and independent. It helps if she has a sense of humor but more importantly, I DO want to be challenged, frustrated and kept guessing; and to quote, she should always be "an enigma wrapped in a riddle shrouded in mystery." Anything else would be just too boring.

I guess what I am trying to say is just relax and don't go looking for specifics or the perfect match, just enjoy how she makes you feel and go with it.

I totally have a preference when it comes to guys, i have standards, and also what im physically attracted to, to some it might be picky but i just know what i like, but then im not going to pass up a nice guy either.

i prefer lobster over steak
i prefer brown hair over blond.. however would i date a blond? well yes i married one once.. i prefer brown eyes i think lol or i used to however mostly dated guys with blue eyes...
i think preference was in everyone the day we were born.. babies prefer bright colors..and bananas over peas.thumbs over toes...
i dont get how that is prejudice.

I dunno....I am partial to a chick who will sit on your face.

how predictably sweet of you goof

Don't tempt me!

I know right. I mean....it is all about the sweetness. Forget sending flowers or lovey dovey cards. That is sooooo 1970's.

This is actually her some-odd hundredth topic on this very subject. Which is why I was annoyed.

no offence your always annoyed or so it seems

i think most people are so superfiscial i have seen people rejected for being 1 inch to short in height is that effin stupid or what
that is why i have no expectations from this site just to play the games and read post and to laugh at the dumb ones

Cynicism is lethal. It is obvious when someone has experienced overload in the rejection arena so doesn't feel comfortable in their own skin. They have no pictures of themselves & tend to post angry or nasty messages in the forums. The writing is on the wall sorry to say.

To the OP .. I do agree. People can be too picky and leave no room for the magic

yea really whats up with that

I think reducing a person to a "list" is pointless and misses the whole point of trying to know someone. I've had it happen, and I thought, "This is just like shopping... Shopping for people. You have your milk, eggs, and bacon. Now you need to make sure he's also well educated, tall, handsome, can benchpress more than a few poodles, and looks good in a mankini."
