Picky, picky, picky...

the Beeb had a program on computer "Dating" , which I think of as search/introduction platforms. There I go showing my pickiness. The "experts" said that one of the biggest barriers to folks finding each other, apart from all the lying and scamming, was being too picky. Now, I agree, and recall the wise adage " the perfect is the worst enemy of the good". Is it really a case of lowering standards, settling, or whatever else we like to call it? Or are their darker dynamics involved? Fear of commitment, for one?

Yes, Biff. Valid thoughts. I think many things go into the live apart
/item style you mention. Many find it an easier arrangement in latter years, after the compulsions of younger life are behind us. Yet, our twins' generation seems to be gravitating toward what you describe. Lots more emphasis on group activities, rather than the somewhat restrictive dating scene many of us enjoyed (?endured). But I think pickiness operates in some of us, to our great loss. Many live by the mantra "pick me, pick me!"---all the while defending against reasonal possibilities. Present company excluded, of course.
