Chelsea5019 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Are you looking for someone who meets all of your criteria (such as college degree or good family background) or are you more open minded about who you can fall in love with and marry someday?
Michelle ma Belle Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I am nothing if not open minded about most things in life.
Ic1 Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) I never had a written list of criteria, but I did have some really basic standards like a decent job. As for factors outside of possible bankruptcy and really standards social standards (no racism), quite open minded. There's thousands of cocktail recipes, and some of the ingredients are quite gross on their own. (Bitters, egg whites, etc.) But mixed properly, they can make an amazing drink!

Redfisher Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I know its cliche...But I was looking for my best friend and lover. Also one that likes snacking in bed watching series on Netflix naked.....

Samhain Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Never had any criteria. I like what I like if I like it! .. I go with the flow. If you go out in the world with a list of requirements of what somebody should or shouldn't possess you will miss out on meeting some great people. We don't fall in love because somebody can tick off boxes of requirements we feel they should meet before they are "love-worthy". To me I think having a list of expectations is more about necessity. "so and so has a good education and a good job so is marriage material, will be a good person to have a family with, will have a similar background so our families will not oppose". And then years down the line end up realizing they have the perfect life from the outside in but are "missing something vital". Falling in love is spontaneous and I wouldn't look at somebody any differently if they had a degree and good family background than I would if they were making ends meet and were from a broken home. Says absolutely nothing about the person they truly are inside. Just my opinion anyway 1

VeveCakes Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 Looking for someone who makes me smile, I'm attracted to, and has a kind heart.
d0nnivain Posted December 3, 2015 Posted December 3, 2015 I had a wish list & DH ticked the important boxes: shared values, made me laugh, sexy, intelligent & driven.
Myragal Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 Are you looking for someone who meets all of your criteria (such as college degree or good family background) or are you more open minded about who you can fall in love with and marry someday? For me they are not exclusive. Well Educated Fit and athletic Healthy lifestyle Outdoors oriented ( hiking, etc.) These are the description of former and current partners. I don't see myself being attracted to a man who did not meet these criteria. They show an initiative and awareness in life that tells if they are compatible or not with what I value. Of course there are other criteria...we all want someone who is responsible, confident, respectful, etc.
Truth34 Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I really find it strange someone would have "college degree" in their requirements. I just find that incredibly shallow. Of course, this coming from someone who didnt attend college. I did have three vehicles and my own house at the age of 22, though. I just want a good person. It has never crossed my mind that she needs to have a certain "status" about her to be acceptable as a partner. 1

It has never crossed my mind that she needs to have a certain "status" about her to be acceptable as a partner. How is it shallow? That is one of my main requirement and she cant weight more than me is another one. I tired of dating woman that work at Walmart or fast food or other dead end jobs . If I do not have a dead end job she should have one as well. I am and are giving up everything to get my college degree so why cant she ? Like I told one of my coworkers if I have a career and make good money but down the road get cancer or cant work because of medical reasons her Bs Walmart job will not pay the bills .

Like I told one of my coworkers if I have a career and make good money but down the road get cancer or cant work because of medical reasons her Bs Walmart job will not pay the bills . This is a quote from your latest thread: "The desire to feel like you're not a loser drives me. I don't know if that's the healthiest thing to be motivated by a fear of hating yourself. I feel like I've failed in terms of what my potential is." Putting that onto a potential partner is even worse. You sound incredibly shallow indeed. Another of your threads were titled "women don't want a good man these days" .. Another is titled "depressed about not being able to date" another is "29 am destined to be alone forever is there hope for me" And probably the most important one: "30 in 8 months and never had a girlfriend b4" .. Have a good long think about it. 1
