my original post was not aimed at anyone specific. talking to others of my age group it was actually a fairly common thought. that is we (one of which is myself) are not sure what we are looking for. i just veiwed your profile and in response-what if you met a 48 year old team roper who was just going to be around till spring. would you limit yourself because of age/short term/activity. i'm not judging you but i use this as an example of people maybe missing out.

I will not date someone who is 48. I am certain that more then 10 years older is too much age difference.

Will you date someone that is 480 pounds and is only around to spring. Would you limit youself by weight?

Can't weight....for your answer...weighting on it!

no i wouldn't. why. doubt someone who weighes 480 could keep up with my lifestyle and activities. (unless she was 7'2"). would i go for a coffee, movie or art gallery with someone like that? absolutely would. my biggest restriction is age (younger). i have been asked out by ladies 15-20 years younger than myself. dated one briefly and felt very self concious, i have this irrational fear of a waiter asking if my daughter would like a menu or somethinglike that. i do not limit myself by a persons lifestyle/activities. i spend most of my life with individuals raised with the same upbringing as myself. socially i enjoy meeting people with different perspectives

One sure fire way to determine if you're being too picky is to ask yourself why your social circle is out mingling often, and you're "still waiting". If that sounds like you, and you've received genuine interest from the opposite sex (or same sex, hey it's a liberal society these days right?) and you're "still waiting"...then yea, you may be too picky.

It's kinda like a phrase I heard in my travels - wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which fills first.

Having preferences is natural, but sometimes those preferences lead to people becoming old maids. The longer you wait for "the right one", chances are you're also making yourself less appealing to those around you as days lead to weeks and so on.

Know what I mean?

Lier, Lier, pants on fire.

I know if you had a choice, between Miss 480 pounds and a slim hotty - you would take the hotty to the gallery.

Not neccessarily. The relationship I just got out of recently, she was over 200lbs and only 5'7". I knew her when she was a stunning 160lbs and was with her til she peaked out the Toledo's, and on the way back down to...I think she's under 170 now.

I'm naturally thin, and the societal norm would dictate for me to prefer the slimmies...but I have always preferred a slightly more robust form.

480lbs is too much by far, but overweight is nothing new to me. A woman with curves is supa-sexay!

Nope, I'd buy a cowboy hat and ask miss Weezy





OK so I miss the mark by 1 year, maybe she's got an older sister?

Wow .. didn't take this thread long to go from a "being picky" thread to a "would you date a fatty" thread. In fine POF style I might add.

bigdaddy, thanx man, ya made me laugh, no i aint 481 pounder.

now to get this back on track,, lets be honest, perhaps the reason we are all single isnt that we are picky its that the people we know are picky, ahhhh nothing like putting the blame elsewhere.

i want to meet a single mom, who supports herself, doesnt have major baggage, average or a few extrapounds.i dont think i am being picky, i just want an average single mom that can keep a converstation in tact.

No worries man - glad I could help. And I knew someone would bring it back in.

Picky is one thing, selective is another. Fine line but picky keeps you single. Selective keeps you without bruises or babies.

I was selective and spent a year and a half on this site and found my fishy.

Hold out for someone that has the qualities you want (and values and all that). It's worth it.

Thanks girls, I am not shallow, instead I am honest.

I have dated men that are far from handsome or thin, but we had the horse thing in common.

I think there are alot of people on here that have big time ideas about the type of person they will date, or won't date...they just are afraid to be honest on the forums because people will crucify them.

FWIW, I am far from skinny, never have been skinny.

I just think people BS alot on the net, the computer seems to give them power that they never have IRL.
