Endless selections for mates...

It used to be that women were thought to have endless selections for mates...and all they had was the tough decision on discerning who was the best one to pick. The world has changed.

Now with monogamy becoming a thing of the past...they have the less tough decision of picking the best ONES to pick.

However, that is not what this blog is about. It is about men now being in the same position as women. With men now having endless selections and also choosing the best ONES.

Now, I am not saying that is how I am...or how all women and men are....that they want to be with multiple partners. However what I am saying is, both of their available selections have dramatically increased with social media and the internet.

So...what are some of your deal breakers when looking at photos of men or of women on the internet when determining if you want to move forward and pursue a person as a potential mate or life long partner?

For me: when I see a woman post several pictures of herself in fancy restaurants and in expensive formal dining clothes...my mind automatically concludes that she is high maintenance.

or...

When I see a woman posting a picture of herself shooting a gun....that is an automatic red flag for me. I don't care that she owns and knows how to use a gun...but why post a picture of it thinking it is important for her potential mate to know that?

dunno

Those are two main ones for me that I can think of right now. What about you?

Hello Dan,

Are there any exceptions you would accept....say if he ticks all of your boxes and has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth?

Been here longer than most, living in the most popular state in N. Amerika, and have exactly 01 CStepford date in my File.

It remains sealed due to Natl. Emergency.

Hello AB,

There are several selections, here alone on CS. Perhaps taking some open minded searching to make a connection happen. The whole world is available...which is larger than any single state. thumbs up

Hello CC,

That is a good point too....with photoshop. That is another turn off for me as well. ...deception...

As a woman, for those looking at my pics, they will see that I'm not a high maintenance sophisticated person.

I'm also a minimalist.
One negative of posting pictures.
People make judgments without trying to get to know the person.
Hello Friendship...that is true enough. I would rather have a photo up and have 90% of the people reject me...than having no photo up where nearly 100% will more than likely will.

Picking the one vs picking the ones? The third option is not to pick anyone at all. If people truly picked someone or a few, they'd settle in some sort of relationship, monogomous or otherwise. People don't do that anymore. It's an endless search for the perfect mate, which is of course a futile endeavour. So is life nowadays, very sadly speaking.


I love them!!!
Hello Joe,

I think there are many out there that still have monogamy in mind, however, I suspect there are many more today that are not of that mindset...vs....some years ago.


So, it is not a terrible situation, but just more difficult...let's say.

Robert....with more selections...one becomes more fussier. That holds true for both women and men.


So...you got weeded out. Maybe hold off next time on exposing your source for financial security. rolling on the floor laughing

cheers
Hello lovely Hover...

Yes, I like that song as well. thumbs up I paged through your other blogs with all your other music selections. I must admit, many of them I have not heard of. I will have to take some time and check them out. I know you have a good taste for music.

If she is verbally abusive or is intimidating.

Ask for money before we meet in person.
Someone next to a vehicle or property. I have literally seen people step out of their cars (and some of them were not even driving) and have a picture taken of themselves by someone else's car or in front of a house or building. Fake! But to me, it is not about the picture. I look at tags, locations and what they write in their profiles. People that share nothing I just ignore. It is all about the written word for me.
