Poll: Asking for too Much?

[Lt. Dragunov]

Recently i had a gathering of friends talking about anything thats everything, and someone had the idea to go on the subject on boyfriends and grilfriends. We went around talking about who we go out with and who we wish to go out with, but when it got to me i had nothing to say for i am not going out with anyone at the moment. Many people ask why im not and im such a nice guy and what not but aside from the questions i had no one. Many think I'm just too picky ( so for you people who think o he's a loser that why he can't get some one MANY people have tryed to talk to me so dont go there,) but i must say maybe i am too picky, i dont wanna settle for less than what i want, but at times i think to myself "what are the odds i'll meet someone just like what i want."

So do you think im being too picky with this whole thing or am i in the clear

 

[Xaryn Mar]

Probably somewhat. But then agains so am I.

Someone'll turn up. Nothing wrong with being picky.

I was never picky, mind, and had a great time!

 

[Good morning blues]

Kind of depends. There's nothing wrong with being picky, but there is a problem with giving nobody a chance. The way I always did it was dating whoever seemed interested and who I didn't find unattractive, and seeing how well they fit with what I wanted. It was a pretty good system; if things weren't working with somebody, you just didn't date them again.

You miss out on meeting a hell of a lot of interesting people if you are to damn picky.

Must...not...aww screw it. I LOVE DUCKS! Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

Anyway, when it come to girls, I'm really desperate not that picky.

 

[NeedAUserName]

Isn't some what the same as very?

Yeah, me to. When it comes to ducks on the other hand... well they consider me a catch.

Lay out exactly what you want in a person. THen, lo-and-behold, fate will throw at you someone whose nearly exactly what you wanted, but short a few perameters. Have a relationship with them, and don't be too broken up if/when it comes appart.

I've seen this happen countless times, with both men and women. If you want to be in relationships, follow the above. Otherwise, just wait for fate to shove someone in your face, which can take much longer, often with the same rate of success.

I'll keep that in mind but i will admit it is hard for me to wait for things, I'v never been good at waiting for exstended periods of time, i try to but it's very hard mainly if it's somthing very important to me.

Don't *wait*. Go *looking*. Waiting for the ideal job/mate/haircut/dinner/whatever to fall out of the sky is not a winning situation, especially if you're like me and you stay home most of the time. If you want to meet people, you have to go out and meet people.

I know one woman who would always recommend to guys that they take dancing or cooking lessons at a local college. The classes are nearly always packed with women and short on men--plus you learn how to do something that you can talk about.

As far as I can tell, having high or particular standards is a wash as far as relationships go. I know happily married people a lot more picky than I am, and I know single people with basically no standards. (It's unspeakably hard to find a serious relationship after you get a reputation as a tramp.) The only real difference I can detect is that the happily-married ones are more socially active.

For the sake of my alias and avatar, I had to vote for the 4th option.

But in all seriousness, I'd date almost any woman (with obvious exceptions like huge difference in age, or being a drug addict) who appears to have some interest in me and is attractive.

 

[Zeldadudes]

Mate its the way we are.
A lot of us are picky and like things a certain way.
I am quite picky when it comes to hair...
Girls with stupid hair are definitely not the sort of girls i wanna be with.
Whereas girls with nice and interesting hair are girls that give me stomach feelings...
Its all good mate.

I'm much to desprete to be picky. If givin the chance I would probably go out with a dog or a sewer aligator

I guess I should correct myself. One should lay out the perameters for what they want, and actively search for people. Waiting for someone to fall out of the sky is, well, also difficult, but even less than with personal effort.

I'm fairly pickey and I don't feel too bad about it. I'm nice to just about everyone I meet, but I'm pretty set in my ways in regards to who I date.

When it comes to the person you may spend the rest of your life with, you can afford to be picky. But I know from experience, when the right person comes along, you may not know it at first. But you can't afford to shut someone out just because they do one thing that annoys you.
