brierebecca 0 #1 August 21, 2006 This was brought up in another thread. If you have "standards" for dating someone, what are they? I've always made it a point not to have "standards" except for being nonviolent, no addictions, etc. (Basically nonabusive types) I've found it knocks a lot of cool people out of the dating pool.

freeflir29 0 #4 August 21, 2006 I try to be pretty open. However............it gets to the point where I have to require that you are "going somewhere" in life. Be it a career or school..........be doing something. If you are waiting to win the lotto fuck off. Get a J.O.B. BEEATCH! Loser chicks with no job and 4 kids need not apply.

simplyputsi 0 #6 August 21, 2006 breathing works for me. ok, seriously I don't like smokers, but my last girlfriend smoked, but not around me. Then well she has to be considerate, willing to compromise, open to new things, i.e. skydiving. I have other standards, but they are shallow so I will not list them.

chaoskitty 0 #7 August 21, 2006 My standards lie more with how I want to be treated. If I dont like how I'm being treated, I'll let him know. If it doesnt get better, I'll go away. But as far as a checklist.. nope not really. Although I can say I wouldn't date a smoker. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grue 1 #9 August 21, 2006 Non smoker, college educated or in the process thereof. Above-average looks and intelligence. MUST be able to deal with my exceedingly twisted sense of humour. Someone who doesn't drink all the time is a big one, too. Now if you want to talk about my absolutely IDEAL woman, well, that gets mighty specific.cavete terrae.

monkycndo 0 #12 August 21, 2006 No smokers, no ultra anything(politics, religion, food dislikes, etc.) and must be able to carry on a conversation about something other than work. I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but at least have enough smarts so I can learn something from them. No, repeat No drama queens.50 donations so far. Give it a try.

guppie01 0 #14 August 21, 2006 When I was young... my standards were pretty superficial.... I wanted someone at least 6'2" blonde hair/blue eyes - why you ask??? Cuz I wanted my children to: a) have blonde hair / blue eyes. b) have a chance at not being a midget. Now... someone with the same/similar goals, someone with the same/similar dreams, someone who trusts me, and someone who respects me. Intellect is nice - but it doesn't make ones soul. Money is nice - but it doesn't always buy happiness. Looks are nice - but looks fade with time. g"Let's do something romantic this Saturday... how bout we bust out the restraints?"

brierebecca 0 #15 August 21, 2006 QuoteSo skydivers are out, huh? Most of the folks I know in skydiving that aren't the tourist skydiver types are pretty addicted to skydiving. I should have specified being addicted to substances like alcohol and drugs. Being addicted to being high on life is definitely a plus. Of course, my standards are irrelevant because I'm already married. Brie"Ive seen you hump air, hump the floor of the plane, and hump legs.
