From some of the "Profiles and seeking someone details" I get the distinct impression that many people are being totally unrealistic in what they are asking for and almost demanding in what a potential partner must have (Even their offspring seem to agree in some resumes). Does a 5'2" really need a 6'2" Does a 52 need a 38 - 48 - Crazy
I suppose it's a way of kidding the brain that you are in the market for a relationship, when in actuallity you are quite happy really with just the thought .
My profile is real,not a"build myself up"1.I try to tell my likes and also want to let a man reading about me know a few things ,so he can decide if I'm not what he wants right off.Unfortunatly,many people I have messeged with,im'd or met,are not whay their profile says.If after few messages,I feel we ight be connecting I tell traits or beleifs I have that may be or are negative about me and ask they do the same.Again,I've been lied too,or ? I ask 2x srtill no answer,change subject.I beleive we all have the right to say what we'd like to have,knowing there may not be anyone here to fit it.That's narrowing your chances but an individual choice.I don't like stating something clearly from begginning and later it's like remember what I said.My ? is how seriously are we reading profiles and basics be4 contacting?Or why after an -email for 2-3 times,do theytry to change your mind about your thoughts or beleifs on an issue you have,then want to argue?Recently happened to me a few times and I tend to now shy away from meeting as in e-mail.I love people nd am courteous and real about me,it hurts a tad that these people,saying men or women get on these sites and play games.Find a " biggest bser and game player" site to have your fun on.
My profile is me. Im not desperate or demanding Im just me. I do not have any intentions of "lowering" my standards and "settling" for anything less than what I truely want in life. Why should I adjust my profile because someone believes its unrealistic, when to me it is exactly what Im looking for? My age range is broad because I believe maturity is not limited by age. What I want in a lady is exactly what I want and I see no reason to waste anyones time including my own working on some fake relaationship with someone I would have to "settle" for. Thats just me, and yes, I have seen many women who Id like to get to know better and who do appear to fit within my expectations...
Of course. it´s more important how someone is inside, not how he looks. But everybody has an imagination , how a potential partner should be. I know, you can´t love plan, and I can´t say that I never fall in love with someone how is totally other as the guy I image now. But, honestly, I don´t wanna a man which is 70 years old. No, I see this profiles more as a wish, how a partner maybe can be. Everybody had the wish to find a partner, who has the same interests and looks attractive for you. What does it brings, if you have a partner, who don´t wanna children and you not? Or maybe he like it to go skiing and you hate it? I think it is better to say from the beginning what do you want, as to find it out after a few mails.

I think profile preferences are written as a starting point, but most of us are willing to be flexible.
It's very difficult to come up with a shopping list of what you may be looking for in a potential partner, and I bet many of us have had relationships with the exact opposite of who we think we're looking for.
Anyhow, who reads profiles? Most of the interest I receive is from men poles apart from the preferences I eventually chose for my profile!
Hmmm.. thats an interesting observation.... though i think it varies from person to person ....
Some people feel those " unrealistic expectations " are exactly what they deserve and want .. good for them..
Some like to be in touch with their inner self .. good for them too..
So. you cant really say .. who is kidding whom here ... until you get to know them personally and find out what's in store... thats why communication matters....
It isnt quite unusual for a woman to get swept off her feet by a man who is not what her profile criteria mention .....nor isit for a man to fall for a woman who has an appealing persona with a positive exuberance .... regardless of the criteria stuff.
Bottomline is if you r looking for love you need to avoid being judgemental ... you might just find it somewhere you never looked or wanted to look..
so much for the " Beauty and the Beast and the Frog turning in to a prince "
I have heard /read of some asking and getting what they posted they wanted ..however funny or sad it is, they get dumped because they fail to met the others expectations.... then its they who say "they where not what they professed to be " .... I guess it can really hurt when what you want says you are not worthy of their affection or attention.
yes, I think many have unrealistic expectations. They seem to have no room for compromise. There is a dsifference between compromise and settling. But most women, that I see, in the profiles don't seem to understand that.
I, for one, have set my sights far lower than most. And even still can't meet anyone I don't suspect I ever will meet anyone. Too many barriers for me. But I make my self available, just in case anyone else is desperate enough to want to date the likes of me!!
