We say that we are open-minded, when it comes to meeting new people, but are we really?

You go in totally blinded by requirements, if you look at the profiles here, they all want specific things, that the other party must agree with, and are. Really?

People are not cut out of cardboard, and dressed and amended to Your design! As soon as you have this outlook, you have failed before even putting down your profile requirements!

Can you change your requirements to be Carte Blanche, or at least malleable?

i think a good way to approach most things is with openness and curiosity.
and observing.
what one thinks they want isn't always what they really want. that ego is tricky business...laugh
i think it can be argued that whatever one has brought into their life, is what they want...whether they own it or not..because it is there....cool

Depends on who / what / where / how the person is, thus a new set of rules per person?

Why?

When I say open-minded, I refer to the definition, not being gullible, as you will know this is very wrong!!!
