manders_01 Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 I am currently a peruser of a few online dating sites and as I was searching today, I realized something. When searching for a "mate", I tend to be much more critical of what they are looking for and their likes/dislikes, especially sports teams, then what they look like (subject of debate earlier in the week). For example, I am a huge White Sox fan. If a guy has anywhere in his post that he is a Cubs fan, I immediately resume my search. I was serious with someone earlier this year who is a Cubs fan and it was hell. Men or women, will you chose not to be with someone because of an instance like this (i.e. something much less important that say religion, the desire to have children, etc.)?
JayKay Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 I met my current BF online. We are now together 5 years. I'm not a big sports fanatic, so it wouldn't matter one whit to me what kind of team he prefers. But a sense of humour is EXTREMELY important to me, as are smarts. I read all the ads and if they weren't at least somewhat funny, I'd pass on them. And if they were cliched ('long walks on the beach'...ugh, spare me!) I wouldn't read a sentence more. I was looking for someone funny, smart and ORGINAL. And I found him. Yeah, I think you should be discriminating. It's important to find someone you're not only compatible with but who you can share life's important things with.
