Mirror mirror on the wall..
Who's the fairest of them all..
..yup..need I say more?..wink

Mmmmmmm,
I tend to get most things at the corner Pakistani shop


I like way they greet me,
And usually have nearly everything,

Next time I'm in there I will look out for nerve

In reality, there is one reason.. The shallowness of many people to realize that there is no such thing as the perfect person. Everyone has imperfections.
We must look past the imperfections to find the perfections that each of us have. Only then will we find true happiness.

I doubt very much if any of us have ever been in a perfect relationship with a perfect person..if that were true we would not be on a dating site but home , too busy being blissfully happy


in real life..we meet people thru mutual friends, or it's a coworker or someone we come into contact with on a daily or weekly basis and this person on first sight might spark an interest or it might be their sense of humor or their personality or a combination of million different things that you would be hard put to define


except to say this person does 'it' for you


online dating is like a used car listing
everyone just scrolls down the pics looking for something sparkly
without too many miles on it

I get my nerve from my central nervous system usually.

Although, I don't usually have to disparage others to feel some sort of superiority. I know I'm not that great...my mirror shares it with me. But not in the Snow White way some have referenced...

I have been noticing a very disturbing trend both online and offline in the high standards that both men and women set for prospective romantic interests , especially in terms of looks.

My last boyfriend though not ugly , with his brown front tooth, and beer gut on a skinny frame, was far from what I found appealing in the looks department..

... But I adored him .

My ex before him was much closer to my tastes in terms of looks, but guess what? He was not at all impressed with my body. He was 6 feet tall, lean and toned with a lust for skinny, long, leggy women, which at a laughable 5 ft 3 meaty frame, I could never attain ..

... But he adored me.

I totally respect that we all have our preferences, but why is it that some people who are the furthest from the worlds standard of beauty , are soooooooooo picky when it comes to other's looks?

I have seen people in this chatsite that LOOK so old that I fear for their safety as they make their way from one end of the room to the next...

AND STILL ... They have the nerve to harshly criticize the looks of others.

I am NOT addressing people's looks in this thread. I am addressing the extremity of people's critique on OTHER's looks when they themselves will never be mistaken for Hugh Jackman or Jennifer Lopez.

Is it that some people are so busy using their magnifying glasses on others that the forget to use their mirrors on themselves?

Where do some people get the nerve to be so blind about their own looks, but so critical about the looks of others ?

but those who are holding others to a higher standard then they hold themselves? puzzles me too

Perhaps because these people don't judge themselves based on their looks, but on other qualities they feel they bring to the table.

Donald Trump has a gorgeous wife,
Howard Stern has a gorgeous wife,

neither one is very attractive, and both are openly judgemental of women's looks

. But they also both know that they can have these high standards because they know woman will want to be with them for what else they bring (in this case fame and money, and conversational skills)

Clay akin...named one of the most eligible bachelor's. ...it was his other qualities.

Steven Tyler...etc....

perhaps these people want what they want and go after it based on their own perceived value as an entire package

That sounds very feasible to me. maybe the harsh criticizers on mingle are rich , powerful and talented like all the examples you described.

Well Im never gonna deceive anybody by saying that looks don't matter. And certainly the way we present ourselves to the world will often inspire or discourage a person from exploring what we have to offer from the inside.

But the balance is that no matter how inviting the package is, the quality of the contents inside is what matters the most :)

Well if we don't at least consider that then aren't we just as guilty for judging them based on their looks alone?

this is a hilarious thread op

I have often wondered the same


I generally do not expect more than what I myself bring to the table



but those who are holding others to a higher standard then they hold themselves? puzzles me too

"Where Do People Get Their Nerve?"

When I told my physician Dr. Frankenstein that I didn't have the nerve to do something, he had his assistant Igor dig one up for me.
