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.
"Somebody can be that of their own choosing by shutting the door tight for potensial suitors. Not want any of such in their life. Nomather how hard you try you wan't get a fair chance."
Well G, someone who just doesn't want to date isn't really undateable. It just means that they're NOT interested in dating. Being "undateable" seems to imply that he/she has some defect that's preventing the person from being eligible to date.
I really thought that the term was used to declare that another person (not oneself) was 'undateable' due to certain flaws or personal circumstances that he/she had. Thus, my assumption that is was used as an insult.
I've read some comments in the BLOGS recently where certain bloggers have used the term "undateable", which is kinda/sorta new to me. I know that when I've heard in in the past, it was used as an insult, but could anyone really be "undateable"?
I've read about and seen very old people dating, I've read and seen people with mental and physical challenges dating, I've even read of imprisoned persons 'dating' (via phone calls and letters). So, what could make somebody undateable?
P.S. I'd hate to think that I might be......undateable.
DL, there are some good ones, some not-so-good ones and some naughty ones. Two good ones are climbing trees and playing with boys in the neighbourhood (I was a tom-boy for a while so I followed after my brothers), and snacking (mostly on sweet snacks). I've long since stopped doing the former (even though I may still "play with a boy" from time to time), but the latter ,happily, still remains a habit.
"Sometimes keeping silence is better than instant reaction. Let the mind calm down, then judge again with a calm mind and things will make better sense."
Watching my favourite TV shows, and movies, and comedy specials, and youtube videos whilst snacking and hanging out with Sweetie. Oh, and posting on CS (like CH said ).
"...that doesn't mean we approve. it means we've accepted certain things beyond our control.
on the outside of that, we may choose to keep a distance of such things. no matter what we decide on how to deal with things, we have been judgy and it influences our actions."
"...we can't help but note things and people around us. it will always be based on our own, individual, thoughts and cares."
This is true, but I think that a person would be 'judgy' if he/she used ONLY those things you mentioned. However, if he/she were to also consider the other person's position/cares/thoughts, then...maybe not?
Could anyone really be "Undateable"?:hmmm:
