I have to agree with you on that one!

We all have the 'perfect person' that we want. And as long as we kep the standards up high, our odds decrease at finding them.

Some of us would rather be alone than settle for ms (or mr) wrong

Ignorance is never appealing, BTW

I think that the more options you have or think you have, the harder it is to find someone you'd be happy staying with. I remember when I was in grade school, I was in the advanced class so I was with more or less the same 20 classmates for 6 years. And I knew exactly where each girl in the class ranked for me. Now if I grew up and those continued to be my only choices, like if I was from a tiny isolated village or something, I likely would've grabbed the highest-ranked girl I could pretty much as soon as puberty hit. But instead I moved on, and met tons more girls over the years. And the more I meet, the more flaws I find, the more excuses I make, the more expectations I gain and the harder it becomes to figure out where they all fit in.

i think some people should fall in love with the simple flaws of people because if there is one person that can find someone that is perfect i would like to meet them and let them know that ther eis no such thing as a perfect person,humans are destructive evil beings that that constantly mess up and falll short of everyones expectations


meeting someone and learning that,his/her obsession with keeping there money even,or the compulsion to make sure the lights in the house are off should be something that after you meet them and you learn of it,it drives your love even more cause its there on unique thing and atleast for me finding something like that lets me know one that the person i met has flaws just like me,and two that it makes me just that much more acceptable to the people that come later in life

I don't find ignorance appealing. I have the same problem too though. I think with me certain standards drive me crazy. I mean, we're all human and have our flaws. If a partner can't accept that flaw, I'd move on. Basically, I still get tense when it comes to dating. It drives me nuts when I say something and go back to myself wondering why I said it. No one ever said life was easy.

What standards drive you crazy?

With me just a good smile, and the ability to share emotions and have a laugh are good. And she MUST have a back-bone! I cannot stand doormats. Give me a woman with fire in her eyes and I am happy.

Yeah I agree totally with you, MADDuck.

Indeed, me as well. Especially the part about ignorance not being appealing. I doubt I could find something less appealing actually.

Basically, I like a guy who has some confidence in himself. I think you have to learn to luv yourself before you luv another. Yeah I know that sounds cliche but I think it has sum truth to it. My standards aren't that high except that he respect my feelings as I of his. I also like a bit of sense of humor and a passionate side. I mean you have to have a little passion in order for it to be a good relationship. Sharing sum common interests helps too.

Thing is, I've always taken anyone (male or female) who has a ton of confidence in themselves to be narcissistic...

Whenever I say that, people are surprised, often going "well you certainly have confidence in yourself, wouldn't that make you a narcissist?", etc. The thing is, I don't have confidence in my own abilities to do things, instead relying on whether or not I actually have a particular skill (I know I can sing well, while at the same time I completely suck at the whole dating thing, for instance... nothing is going to change that). When I do a particular task for someone else, I only see it as "part of the job" and do it (which is what I think is giving off this false aura of confidence).

Whoe.....
Let's not group all females together!
We all have standards as well as hopes and dreams. And unless she lives in a tree, she *WILL* be influenced by pop culture, as we all are.

I love 1950's EC comics, and listen to Nick Cave. That's me. It may not attract women, but it's me.

They may like romance movies, and use LINUX.

It's our differences that draw (hopefully) draw us together!!

Just look in the mirror, are you 100% of everything a woman would want?

Neither am I!!
