Women airing demands why can't men

[gaius]

If I was online dating I wouldn't really care what a woman wrote that she wanted in her profile. If I wanted her then I would try to talk to her. Not going to get very far in life if you're even intimidated by an online dating profile.

Most people as they age, know what they like and what they don't like.

They know what they want and what they don't want, what they can live with and what they can't. They know their own deal breakers.

I see no point in anyone leading someone on, by pretending to tolerate anything that is truly intolerable to them. That is unfair to both.

 

People are making demands and lists in an attempt to make their own life better, to filter out the no-hopers, and so they do not end up with someone they dislike. They are the master of their own destiny.

That is their right surely? Even if they do end up with no-one, sometimes that is preferable to being with someone who just doesn't match up.

 

I get the frustration.

"She rejected me due to some "stupid" thing on her list and she is still single on the dating site".

But it was not stupid to her, was it?

If she would rather remain single and alone, than date you, then I guess it was pretty important to her.
