A mental agility somewhat over and above that of a soup spoon. Even 'only just' would suffice...!!

Ive recently decided that continuously lowering my standards was continually bring me down to their level -so instead, Ive dicided, haha, to raise them every time I get a knock back or disappointment - Ill prob still end up alone at the end of the day but at least will have a good sense of self worth thumbs up grin

trish123: how do you define attraction? would the abscense of particular qualities be a total deal breaker? and which qualities/characteristics do you see as potentially being completely over the top?

Well, let's see. A women, yeh, that's a definite for me. About 54 years old. It would be good if she used to have kind of long hair but now wears it a little shorter. British would be good.(love the accent) Decent pool player but smart enough to let me win once in a while. Must have the ability to blow the froth off a few. It would be nice if she prefered big hulking yanks that didn't spell too well. Yeh, that's about it. Now what's the odds????????dunno

KrazieStill: It changed for me as I got older. I got past the "I'll go out with her cuz she's hot" to the personality (e.g., there's no way I'd go out with her) because we have absolutely nothing in common. I think if the personalities are similiar thats what works for me.
Weird, same thing is happening to me. Not kidding!!

HJFinAZ: It is all a matter of perception.. "To me", DeMello states it well..


OK. Just spent the last hour in the very pleasant company of De Mello, ( old videos), and it freaked me out a bit how much we thought alike on all the important ( to my way of thinking), issues........

A lot of my life philosophies would probably have some from the same or similar sources........

No wonder the pope thought he was a bad influence......

Thanks for the reference HJ. I don't feel so much of a freak now after all. It surprised me to find out that instead of mostly getting it wrong, I was actually mostly getting it right for a change.......

Yeah, that was kind of a turning point for me too - my priorities changed as I got older - I dont remember it happening but I actually did get older somewhere along the line - I used to go for such shallow types, the gift of the gab and glib comments were oh so much more important to me at 18 yrs old than they could possibly be now....

nowadays, the gift of the gab would mean that they can back up their statements with references and 'glib comments' would have to illustrate at least six months attention to the news from varied sources grin rolling on the floor laughing
