I've been reading some posts on another site and wonder if the men on CS feel the same way about the women's profiles. It seems they think that men's profile are pretty standard and to the point (for the most part...not all) but women list everything from A - Z about what they want and what they are looking for...
I do find it's true that a lot of women have a huge list of what they want but when push comes to shove, the "make or break" stuff ends up being about the same length as mens. A little longer, but close. Of course, there are exceptions with a few women wanting everything under the sun and never being satisfied with a real person. Though I hate blaming the media for everything, I think it does hold true in this case. Romantic movies, both drama and comedy, set up these ideal men that would never exist in real life. I can't count the number of times I've heard my female friends say "Why can't I meet a guy like (fill in the blank) from that movie?".
if you keep losing at love and having your heart broken again and again,than you are not asking enough.
when you are asking someone to be trusted with the most precious thing you have,your heart and the love your heart holds,you cannot ask too many questions.
if they do not want to answer you than maybe it is time for you to find someone else and move on with your life,sometimes if you do not you will regret not doing it
There is nothing wrong with being picky when listing your A-Z preferences, but to not have an open mind and spirit so as not to return replies to some other potential partners is not the way I see it....
I have seen sites like that...voting for each other...friends listed for everyone to see...whats the point? to me thats setting up to feel like a failure or to get feelings hurt...
we have had lists here in certain threads...but i still think most of us know that this really is a family of sorts...a family of friends and confidants...i pretty much like everyone here in some way or another and it shows in mine/our posts.
people forget, I think, that it's not always something to take personal if someone else isn't attracted to you. We all have our needs and wants, likes and dislikes...aren't we talking about someone we would like to share our lives with? Not to much to ask if those are the things one is seeking for a lifetime partner. Perfection is boring!
I just thought that by giving that much information up front cut out the amount of questions later...i also thought it gave men more options to choose from to start a conversation with you...
True too Wikked...which is why I did include my sports interests in my profile..and it paid off, I had many "starter" emails where the man used that as a conversation starter. Something he was comfortable with and also something I enjoy that most men are attracted to, a woman that likes going to a football game...
listen to what is actually being said, here now, do any of us want this??? to be catagorically pictured into someone's box someone's movie???
and isn't this what we have all been doing to some degree or another ourselves?
we project. it is our nature to do this, constitutionally we have dispositions yin yang optimist, pessimist,
and then we are systematically conditioned by our parents , religions experiences and the vast spectrum of that, and then there's the media we live in an environment that programs us insidiously.... and here
here we are and we have the audacity to define our WANTS????
ya gotta see the humour and the totally innocent ignorance in this endeavour!
NO ONE WILL EVER FIT OUR MOVIES ! IT'S A SET UP
so allow
consider no definition
listen and take the brush , contemplate the canvas
be moved by the colours that arrive in front of you , paint
