Do you think we've come to expect too much from any potential relationships we may enjoy?

There's lot's of 'I won't settle for less than what I'm worth' etc...the kinda 'I'M WORTH IT!' mind set.

Of course, we need to be wary of not falling into destructive relationshps, but are we placing too much emphasis on what WANT, as opposed to what we intend to GIVE?

yes, it makes many women seem totally unapproachable. That is just my opinion. It is one thing to compromise, and another to negotiate! When I read in a profile that a woman won't compromise...I think down the line, in a relationship. She will insist on everything being her way, unwilling to compromise on anything. Her way or the hi-way!

When I see a woman that says she is looking for a mam six feet tall....If I were 5-11, I wouldn't say a word to her. " I am worth it..I won't settle for less"

I think too often, people have a too high opinion of themselves. If I see ONE area that I don't match in...I keep moving and not even finish the profile. HIT THE ROAD, JACK!!

Surely all hopes and expectations go out of the window when you meet the "one" You may have wanted tall dark and handsome, but cupid is not that shallow. Once that arrow hits you cant do much about it.

Perhaps, in my case at least, the expectations list is much shorter than my giving list.
It's simply easier to start by filtering the crowd(sorry, if that sounds off)
before offering the attributes up.
I know I give tremendously to the one I am focused on... so finding him becomes more key.

thumbs up

It depends on how desperate or how much you've invested on your personality!

Looking back, i did change a lot and tried to worth more!Anyway, not everyone is able to assess those things on themselves, they just talk the talk!laugh

Well, I have a similar mind set. From an old Richard Marx song:

"You know I don't want nothing I don't deserve, but oh no, I won't take less than I know I'm worth" (Love Unemotional).

My want list isn't huge. Most are easily obtainable by guys AND are nothing that I would not do myself/give in a relationship.
