Are people these days 'too picky'...Page 22 of 22    (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)
In my opinion, i think it's because more people have decided what they want and don't settle for less. I want the whole thing, love, commitment and yes romance! If I can't have that then I will stay single...

I think "indifferent" is more the word. I don't think people are "picky" per say, they just aren't getting excited about anyone for a number of reasons. For one thing, although we have the internet and so forth, people have become LESS connected on a personal level, pretty much across the board.

I've become pretty picky myself over the years as well, physically and mentally. I know it's not a good thing, but I refuse to find a normal girl and have a normal relationship. That and normal couples are boring, and invite me to the dullest parties.

I think we should all be picky, and choose to seek for our preferences only, whatever they might be.

Yes. Many people would instantly reject someone because that person doesn't completely match their long list of requirements. Talking to someone or going out on a few dates with someone who isn't exactly your ideal type is not settling. If there isn't any connection after some email / phone conversations or a few dates, then respectfully tell the other person that we aren't a match. Many people in successful relationships end up with someone who isn't exactly their ideal type. Maybe a person who is a little bit shorter, heavier, older etc than your ideal type can be a good match for you.

We all want to "blame" something for our being single instead of looking inside our own self and realizing that maybe being single is where we need to be at the moment.

Are we picky... selective and instinctive, but not picky. Attraction is innate. At birth we are instinctively drawn to "pretty people" both in a physical and emotional sense. Throughout life we maintain this innate sense of attraction and build on it through our own experiences, lifestyle, and general personality traits; thereby narrowing our playing field.

With that said... just because 75% of the population finds John Doe attractive doesn't mean I will find him to be attractive.... And remember (on a lighter note).... our eyesight falters a little as we age... (thank goodness otherwise... I might be dateless!)

I don't know about "people" being "too picky", seeing as how something like 80% of the population is attached in one form or another. Lot's of these people, in my opinion, evidently weren't "picky" enough. But what do I really know?

If you have an exciting, satisfying dating life and also
a reputation for being very picky about BFs (or GFs,
if you're a man) I don't see how it will work against you.

...is that why that they stay single, even though they don't want that, either? Your thoughts...

I know that I'm pickier now than I have been in the past, but that's due to the fact that I know myself better now than I did when I was younger. I'm clearer on what I want in life. Whether or not I'm too picky remains to be seen. I just know that I'd rather be single than be with the wrong person or be with a guy just for the sake of being attached.
