    is if they won't date me...

    "Why have you never married dear?"

    "I don't know. Why have you never married?"

    "I suppose it's because I was never asked"

    From "Before There Was You" (might be slightly paraphrased)

    Seriously, though. I will have coffee with just about anyone, depends on what happens during that coffee if we date or not.

    No smokers.
    No @$$hats.
    Must accept my child's place in my life.

    The rest is negotiable. No one person can be all things to me; that's why I have friends. So if a man doesn't have an IQ of 150, I can have some of those conversations with other people. Lacking the intellectual firepower to get all my jokes isn't a deal-breaker -- I have less-than-genius friends in my life I love very much and wouldn't trade for the world, and I just don't make those jokes around them, or I make them and then explain them. It's not perfect, but neither am I. After all, it's not like I'm going to understand the sports jokes, or get excited about cars, or hunting, or (insert male stereotype here). I tend to be attracted to taller men, but being short in and of itself isn't a deal-breaker -- if the person inside is attractive, the outside becomes more attractive as well. I tend to like alpha-males, but as long as the guy isn't a total push-over, again, there are accomodations that can be made. As long as he's capable of respectful, rational, objective, REASONED debate, I don't care if he's of a different political affiliation, a different religion, likes different music, etc., etc. It's all about the balance of pros and cons.

    If all I want is a carbon copy of myself, why date anyone at all?

    I will not date gents younger than me. Sorry. I was attracted to older men to begin with, and one bad apple had to go and spoil it for everyone, so...

    I'm also iffy about height. I'm attracted primarily to taller guys, but if you're not, it doesn't necessarily rule you out. I'd like to think I'm not terribly picky.

    I'm fine with a girl the same height as me, or an inch taller, but she can't wear high heels when we go out. HELL NO. :laugh:

    Why I was dating, I would never go out with someone who was not on my wave length. I mean , same sense of humour, broadly same likes / dislikes in food,music and films,places to go and choice of freinds and quite a big thing , a common interest whether its golf,water sking, chess or whatever. watching TV does not count. !!

    Good for those of you who made it about what the person is like and not material stuff or appearance. If you don't look at the true person, don't ever expect to make dating anything other than short term fun. Those of you serious about real relationships, must know that everything can change in an instant...except who a person is. Money can come or go, good looks don't last long, and after time you see true colors come out. My biggest mistake- I can help him change! Man was I wrong!

    My 'ideal' partner is taller and heavier than me, laid back, with a sense of humor.

    I refuse to date somebody that is abusive, on drugs (even marijuana), does not have their own legal source of income (awful lot of pot farmers in my area), or that won't respect me. Other than that, I'm pretty open. I don't feel that's too much to ask for.

    Little Boy Syndrome-

    Translates to not having your $h*t together in life. Not knowing what you want to do, how to do it etc. No goals. No independence. No desire to better yourself as a person. You don't know who you are, what you stand for or your own moral/ethics etc.

    People evolve at different rates but don't expect me to follow your highschool notions of what a relationship is when you have been out in the real world post college for more than 5 years.

    I wont date someone that is 2 out of the 3.

    1.) Taller
    2..) Smarter
    3.) Makes more money

    One is fine but my ego can't handle two.

    Damn.. That means we could never date...

    I'm just joking, really. I'll soon be bypassing my boyfriend in the money department, and I hope that doesn't bother him... I'm also teller than him by half an inch.. As far as the smarts, he has no worries. He's fortunately very intelligent; it's wonderful.

    I like my men like like my coffee, Strong, creamy, and rich.

    Just kidding. I just need them to be emotionally stable, have ambition, intelligent, confident, compassionate, and loving. Just like my boyfriend :) Three years and counting, and I can't wait to see where life takes us.
