Are we to picky? Can we be content? (15)
------ This thread is Archived ------
I don't know - I think, as we advance in this life, we get ever closer to knowing what we want. Not sure if that constitutes being more picky or just being better informed via experience.
I (we) were awfully close that last time. Content, even.
Everything for (and not for) a reason.

modernday_cowboy: It seems we are to picky, We want the greener grass, We are hardly ever satisfied with our partner. We so Love the intial infatuation, We think we are looking Deeply in Someones eyes trying to find and feel LOVE and what we really are looking at ARE EYEBALLS!!
Can we ever learn to be content ? Content with someone that isnt perfect? none of us are....Have we been poisened by Hollywood and fairytales? To learn to be content is difficult, because we think we are settling for less. this is not always true....most of the time not.
I wonder what your thoughts are?

Contentment sometimes comes as you mature. The world that we live in with the slick marketing campaigns that tell you that you need everything that is bigger, better, faster really undermines contentment.
Unfortunately, far too many people buy into the instant gratification society that we live in.

I don't know if I'd call myself picky,
or if I'd just say I refuse to settle.
If they are synonomous, I'll happily take both titles.
I've settled for less than I deserve in the past and I won't do it again.

If you know what you are worth,GO OUT and get what you're worth,but you got to be willing to take the HITS that might come.

I must agree that content comes with maturity...knowing what we want. It has taken me a long time, and I still struggle at times with it.... I have settled for less before to. But As I get older I can see where I have wanted more from a relationship that was actually good....I myself had bought into hollywood and the happily everafter at times....but I have a daughter now, she is almost 3, and It seems I am seeing life alot differently...But again I still struggle wanting the flirts, the attention, and wondering am I settling for less.

No, you should be getting the flirts & the attention from the woman you're with....just the same as she should be getting what she needs from you. If I was able to find what I want...I'd be able to be content with that. Settling would be if you just go with the first person who shows you attention and has nothing that you're looking for (been there and almost done that).....and what I'm wanting is the total opposite of my ex....shouldn't be too hard to find?? (Been 10 years already...lol)

Good question... The way I see it, I'm a lot more concerned with whether we are compatible. If we are not, then I wouldn't want that person even if he was perfect in every possible way. (And BTW what's perfect, really?) But getting together with just any stranger that is nice to us because "perfection" is impossible to find anyway, well, no thanks! I have plenty of time and patience to look for that compatible person, and I cannot settle for less - it will just lead nowhere once again.
I certainly don't feel poisoned by fairytales, but it can be pretty much like a fairy tale once you meet the right person.

I am content with myself, my life, and I'm not real hard to please. I'm not looking for perfection, but I won't "settle" just to have a man. I don't need one that bad. Having no one is better than being with the wrong one.

I think everyone is picky to some level. We pick what we think 'at the time' fits us best.
