| Why is it so hard to find that right one or am i just to picky???????? Posted: 11/7/2006 3:11:37 PM | I wonder about this Picky thing.
Have kids, don't have kids, have kids and want kids, dont have kids and dont want kids...etc etc. What if the person has had Cancer and can't have kids? Is that one of the preferences?
Smoke, Don't smoke, can smoke, can't smoke. Does drugs, loves drugs, hates drugs. What if the person has to take drugs?
Lives here, lives there, lives nowhere, lives under a bridge! What if the person has to live somewhere because of their job or kids?
Too tall, too short, to smart, to dumb, can't spell, can spell...etc!
LOL
That is just my little vent for the day. | |

OE - Here's why ... well here's a lil story. My parents met on a blind date. He thought she was a princess and she thought he was a red neck. They didn't see each other again for a whole year when they ran into each other at a stampede party on Stephen Avenue. They were married a year later and have been together for 42 years!!
So just when you think "they" aren't the one, they just might be! | |

if ya go thru the pile and then decide, someone else may have snatched up the one you wanted.
and ya i said lady, that was my deed for the day | |

just kidding
I think sometimes you just have to see if you like what an apple has to offer instead of always hitting up the oranges.
or you know guys with handcuffs versus guys without handcuffs... it's all the same in a long twisted round about way | |

Great venue for meeting people. Still hard to meet someone that you click with, though, when you are a single mom. It's a pretty special guy who is flexible and understanding enough to work around a schedule as nutty as mine!  | |

| Why is it so hard to find that right one or am i just to picky???????? Posted: 11/8/2006 5:16:15 PM | possibly it's not that people are too picky but they don't really know themselves what they want. if you look at the must not section of many profiles it is clear a lot of individuals have a better idea of what they don't want. it is easy to come up with something on paper that reflects your ideals but how well does that translate into the real world. also, for those of us in the second time around club it's not like our youth. you just dated people with no real long term intentions and at somepoint the right person came along. now at this point in our lives day to day schedules and commitments leave little time for casual dates. any time available for social activities is limited so the result is reluctance to risk dating with out potential for future success. | |

It always seems to be smokers who complain about people and their 'must not' section.
Who cares what people have in their 'must not' section....you sure don't have to date them, someone else can! | |

| Why is it so hard to find that right one or am i just to picky???????? Posted: 11/8/2006 7:00:28 PM | ^^^ completely agree......if you do not match what is stated or required in their profile do not bother them. There is no need to be hostile...it is their preference list and has nothing personally to do with anyone else.
.....hahahaha......"the LADY thing" ........here's a spin: I object to being called a lady
as a "a LADY" was a term given to women who were sent to finishing school to learn to sew, cook, walk, entertain and please their gentleman..... ......umm....yea, Welcome to the 21st Century .....I say, cook your own damn food, mend your own socks and underwear, better yet, just throw 'em out! and plllllleeeeeeaaaase gratify me!!! oh, and as for YOUNG......well I do not mind that at all  | |

Posted: 11/8/2006 7:24:28 PM | weezy-smokers/non-smokers has nothing at all to do with the discusion. my hypothesis as a response to the question posted was that people seem more sure of what they don't want, that they are not picky but possibly unsure of what it is they really want, and are unwilling or unable to expand their horizons. this is perfectly understandable as no one wants to repeat past mistakes or risk a situation that one has witnessed others go thru. i could respond to your smokers generalization by responding with "why is it the non-smokers that have so many restrictions" but that has nothing do to with this thread. | |
