discrimination when dating (37)
daggyone: Does anyone discriminate when advances are made towards them?
ie: do you baulk when someone doesn't meet up to your perceived image you have fixed in your head as to what your date should look like?
do you choose non smokers or smokers?
between uptown, downtown, rural or o/seas suitors
there are to many to mention but contribute what you will to the long list of yes no's and maybes you place between the prospective dates and yourself.

Many of us have built in prejudices that are maybe holding us back from a good thing?

Just don't give up, maybe alternate your criteria to test the waters with people you may never have considered before?daggyone: Just don't give up, maybe alternate your criteria to test the waters with people you may never have considered before?

though it will be great when I train it to do my bidding

Was thinking of changing my seek bit to "Looking for very wealthy women willing to leave me everything. Must provide current bank statements and doctor's prognosis of very short time on this planet. Age is no object."

I guess meeting men in clubs etc., you subconsciously check out the guys that pique your interest, then look you look again, and you go ... nah he's this that and the other...
whereas when you meet someone from the cyberspace, it's a different kettle of fish, does he photo match him... basically the photo doesn't really matter, as you can't alter bone structure etc., if he's missing some hair so what!! but sometimes I been caught on the personality side of things... at first you think ... well let's see, maybe that person is shy and awkward like you are so you step back ... but other times it's like hard work...
anyway it's just my opinion
sorry daggy forgot to answer the question -
yes I do discriminate, whether subconsciously or not...I don't know...

Yes - discriminate... I do...I think..a bit, but I try to put my thoughts to one side and let some talking happen and see if we share core values... that is the decider ..
I dont much care about the smoking stuff, it doesn't bother me because I smoke...
Re o/s suitors... I can tell you some are just lovely, but if it progresses to a point where I am totally smitten, I say goodbye, because I know its just a pipedream... meaning I am not leaving my family and grandchildren here to go following my heart... because realistically, I would be torn and stressed...

I know what you mean, before I met my guy I was talking to a lovely farmer in Alberta Canada I was getting very close to him but I had to call it a day as I knew I could not leave Aus also when they get snowed in over there you really know about it.
smoker , bad feet , tooth decay , poor hygene , penniless.... deal breakers for me 
So what does one do when one has doubts 
Or is it just hesitation mixed with fear

I will admit to having discriminated a lot in the past. I was a very strong supporter of Apartheight until I realised that there are so many lovely women shorter than me.
If I met a non-smoker, and I felt she was the right one for me, I would gladly give it up to be with her.
I have moved away from family and friends to be with "the one" and I do realise the heartache it brings. Especially when it doesn't work.
But my daughter moved down here and we are very close. So, Merri, I do understand what you are saying about moving away from family. Down the street is not a problem as they are likely to move to the next street anyway.

Thanks heaps

think that your statement many...is actually an understatement..
we all seem to put guards up or have expectations of what the next partner should be...
reaction from the action of the hurt previously endured...
