Youcannow: I didn’t say ONLY .
I certainly wouldn’t date a druggie , or an alcoholic, or any one with serious mental health issues.
If that makes me sound picky, then so be it .
I'd like to point out that I like you better today than ever before YC. cheers
So you have rather risen on my scale of datebility laugh

About where to draw the line:
I'd take a homless woman living under the bridge
provided she is none of the the things you listed above.
She could still be dateable.

My problem is to be given a chance by the ones who
is basically unavailable cos they have some inner voice
telling them to waste a few more years.. .and a few more.. and then some more years.. and... ohhh----------------------- .....I'm afraid she passed last night, as a lonely person... sorry.

Well , I do grow on people . Not all but some .

As for the dateability factor …. I suppose if people would lower their expectations, I’d probably exceed them . laugh

Didi7: Here's what I got from a dictionary (via Google, of course)

undateable
Describes an individual so flawed that they cannot possibly be dated by anyone.
E.g.
Mandy: Phil is so completely undateable. I have no idea why my cousin set us up.
Tamara: What happened?!?
Mandy: For starters, he is 35 and lives with his parents, and he smelled like rotten vegetation. And there were nose hairs.
Tamara: Agreed. Undateable.
That's really interesting.

Why would Phil in this scenario be undateable, rather than someone Mandy doesn't want to date?

How did we get to this cultural norm and what are doing on a psychlogical level?

To cast someone as undateable maybe reinforces our decision making. That would be rooted in a personal lack of confidence and emotional immaturity.

Like any kind of bullying, it exposes our own, rather than someone else's flaws.

That's ok DL. Personally I think that the only person that's 'undateable' is either a baby/toddler, medically unfit or dead. Everybody else is 'dateable', which means you (and I) are too.wine

What about those foolish people who do not understand the signs of love, who don't understand without being told directly. I am also one of those foolish people.grin

Didi7: Okay.
Simply put, I have a tall order in a partner. Its not looks and its not money. Its 100% compatibility. Me and my partner MUST be compatible with each other. I do not want to be with someone that I have to hide aspects of myself from, I know too many people who live like that and they are all miserable, every single one of them. She has to be ok with me the way I am and I have to be ok with her and the way she is, its a two way street. That's why its so hard to find.
