How much are you willing to compromise for action?

[CaspianDreams]

Well, specifically, say you had a mediocre connection with some one, they weren't the most gorgeous person you've ever gone out with, but they weren't awful. At the same time, say they were pretty into you - for the guys out there, would you push forward for the short term pleasure, or just say no. How much would you compromise your general, dating standards for the short term fling, or one night stand?

Why not push thru for a long term potential ??

 

What is wrong with dating someone who isn't a 10 ..

People tend to date around their own numbers.. Are you about the same as her ?

By the way..

 

Date or push to marry a 10 and you will be sorely disappointed in your relationship..

No good relationship or marriage is based on looks and will only fail quickly...

If there was intimacy, I'd grow it and see where it went. Sex isn't a goal; for myself, it's an expression. If/when it happens, it happens.

 

Never have and never will have a 'fling' or 'ONS'. Doesn't interest me. So I guess my answer would be that I wouldn't compromise my dating standards. I also would not remain with a woman who couldn't grow healthy intimacy in a mutually satisfying way. Wasted too much time on that path in the past.

It's merely a part of the whole, and I wouldn't want to overemphasize any one part.
