So... I believe in this belief that everyone has a soulmate. And I've always wanted to find her. I'm 20 years old, still haven't officially dated anyone yet. Tried 3 times, but they were all 'fake' (to make an ex jealous, etc, etc). I'm a 20 year old guy by the way.

 

Anyway, I'm not sure if it's strange or not, but lately I've been getting this notion about the uk, mainly the london/england area. Idk why, or if it even means anything, but after thinking about it, I've really found some england women pretty attractive, and I LOVE most england accents. Please, i'm not sure if it's actually true or not, but it seems like english women tend to be much nicer, more genuine and more honest than american women. Again, not sure if it means anything, but whatever.

 

In general though, it really doesn't matter where a girl is from or what race she is, i'm just looking for a nice girl who wouldn't EVER cheat, who is pretty affectionate and caring. And of course, not a requirement exactly, but likes (or puts up with) what I like such as horror movies & haunted houses, road trips, video games, theme parks, having fun in general, etc.

 

 

Anyway, not really sure what I was trying to accomplish or exactly what point, if any, I was trying to get across, but yeah, any thought about ANYTHING I said would be greatly appreciated and every post will definitely be read.

first off---the idea of a soul mate is rather silly. Yes you do want to find someone you shares beliefs and goals with. You want to find someone you share interests with.

 

Looking for a soul mate means you are looking for faults in who you are dating instead looking for their strengths. You arent going to find an absolute perfect match.

 

When looking for someone you have some core values you hold true in someone you look for---like sharing the same religion, wanting kids, wanting to have a lifestyle of XXX. Then there are qualities you would like in a person but you arent going to find someone who has them all but you are looking for someone who matches say 7 out of 10.

 

As for the atraction to accent---yes that is real and possible. each person has their own quirks in what interests them. For some they view people with accents as exotic.

 

Just choosing someone based on stereotypes is silly. Thinking all chinese people are brilliant at Math is a stereotype. Advertisers know that those with british accents can come off to people as more authorative in commericals or in documentaries.

I'm British, and I can confirm I'm extremely nice.

 

I have to say though, that different strata exist in every walk of life, and there as many distasteful types of women in the UK as there probably are in any society.

 

I'm not one of them, though.

 

I'm pretty cool.

 

And 56.

 

And married.

 

But don't let that deter you...

 

And remember: Your brain's not finished shaping up yet, so in time, your perceptions will undoubtedly change and evolve.

For the time being, just enjoy the show!

I guess there are different definitions to the term soulmate. See my definition is that I believe there is at least 1 person that is an exact match and is perfect FOR YOU, not 10/10 perfect with nothing wrong with them, but perfect for you. The type of where like you said, share common interests and such, which in my case would make her perfect for me.

Yeah, I mean, I figured there's always bad people no matter where you go, just seems like there's quite a lot of cruel people in america more than other areas such as the uk. I've just seen so many couples getting hurt by one another from cruel, yet avoidable things such as cheating, lying, or just overall being mean for no reason. Again, I know that's everywhere, and maybe I just think that way because this is where I live, but that's just what it seems anyway.

Yeah. I've had 3 of those......

Yeah.. those type of people really suck at being people.

No, they don't.

They're people and things didn't work out.

 

people don't suck at being people.

They're very good at being people.

People suck at many things - but that's what life is all about.

Which is why it's a fallacy to consider that even one soul-mate exists.

 

That way lies perdition.

I find british women extremely attractive. I think they tend to be a bit taller and more voluptuous. I tend to prefer women with lighter hair too. I think if you like british women, you should go spend time in UK.

^ While that is true and i'd love to do that, I think the chances of meeting someone over there who would want to move to america with/without their family are pretty slim.

Is the other way around not an option?
