Hmmmm.... (just my thoughts, keep this in mind)....
Maybe leaving what you percieve to be "flaws" out of your profile would be an option?
No, I don't mean "decieve" others....
After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and maybe you're prejudicing others without giving them an opportunity to get to know you and see you with their own perspective.
I know from experience that others see me differently than I do.
1. No digicam. 2. No scanner. 3. Professional reasons (very public work, and high moral expectations)
But the most important reasons: 4. Do you want to have someone choose or reject you based on your face or body? 5. I want to be liked for who I am first, not my face and body. 6. I could pop in any old image anyway, and so could anyone else, so what's the point?
My thoughts: How a person dresses, or thier wieght, or thier quirks is not something you "polish" for them. If you take them - take them quirks and all or just don't bother. A person can only change something if they decide to do it for themselves. Not to change for you, and you can't do it for them. Neither way works, and they both create resentment and other bad feelings.
To me, it's not about age. It's about maturity. I lived with a guy 17 years older than myself. I dated guys 12 years younger than myself. The 18-years-older-guy is less mature than a 25 year old guy I've been talking to - that I thought was much older (like 10 years older) just by the maturity of his typing style. Over the years, I have learned that birthdates are just excuses to have a party, not any representation of real maturity. Just my thoughts.
RE: Why do individuals feel they can flirt with their exs that they don't want while with another partne
It's a safe ego boost.It's a way to get a "read" on their new partner's level of commitment???
