Do you have unrealistic expectations in your search for a partner ? (106)
I think on a site like this I personally may have high expectations, but that is based on my social group. I know some pretty amazing guys, which is why they are all very happily married.
On here it opens up to the world literally. I guess it's when you cast a much much wider net you have more to filter through on both sides.
Hope this made sense.

In response to: I have been back [after a longterm relationship] on this site for a few months. What has struck me, apart from the huge influx of scammers using other peoples photos [mainly American photos] I want to ask you do you think as a man or woman that your expectations are unrealistic? too high?
This can bw a way of avoiding true intimacy but also in my humble opinion a side effect of the Media with its focus on perfection in relationships, the 'happy ever after' scenario, and I am amazed at men in the over 50s and 60s bracket looking for 'ladies of 40' .Would love your comments

Realistic yes, ladies around 40 may be nice to look at but certainly not what am after, as for expectations am humble in my own opinions each person has something to offer another in terms of relationship value and not monetary or materialistic gains. To set in ones mind certain criteria of what is needed and wanted detracts from really getting to know that person as themselves before embarking on the final crusade of marriage.

False hopes and pretty lies are the bread and butter of the online dating site. The profit margins of site likes this would collapse if the people on them were realistic.

Unfortunately, scammers have done a great damage to on line relationships. Anyone who is aware of scammers will go on safe grounds more than we usually do in real life and that is a very important factor for not connecting people.

Too high expectations?
Unrealistic expectations?
Both of the above could be but we have to be very realistic at probabilities and read carefully the other people’s profile and see how they interact at the fora.
Men over 50 looking for ladies in their 40’?
I think that is an exception.
Men over 50 looking for women 18 to 99!

As we get older, I'm sure our expectations increase, they also increase from past experiences. We no longer become willing to accept flaws in someone which we might have done once before.
The point is, when do they become unrealistic or unreasonable

Are you feeling better today, less stressed, less grumpy 
And yes, asking me to shave my legs is unrealistic

rose1971: If I say yes, i'd be lying, so yes
Ah, common! shave them
You want them shaved...... come and shave them for me Ah, common! shave them
Is it unrealistic to not expect a partner to lie, even if it's a little white one
and no, its not the dress that makes your butt look big
