Of course, plenty of them. In fact, most men I meet tend to lean towards the submissiveness I look for and am attracted to the most.

Perhaps it's an energetic attraction between the both of us. They smell me and I smell them... sometimes 90 miles away or living all the way in the cringe worthy Triad.

It's pretty easy to believe, though. You're living and ostensibly attempting to date in a country that's neither predominantly Hindu nor Indian, and where vegetarianism, though not uncommon, isn't the practice of the majority, either.

I have requirements because, otherwise, I'd feel like a wh-ore.

Same thing with a few other things. An ex was obese and nasty and I know because of my active lifestyle I need someone active.

I held out and found a man with the requirements.


Of course you should have requirements, nothing wrong with that, it's a very good thing, it's good to know what you want in a person. It's good to know that you have held up to that. Good going,keep it up.

Excellent, that's the attitude, that's how it should be, but unfortunately for most people it's not like that.

In my view, it doesn't do any good to let of of your standards and compromise, it only leaves you unhappy in the long run. Yes I am also like that, I have really standards for the kind of woman I want and I also know it may never happen, or will never happen rather. I am fine with that. I don't ever regret having high standards, I never will. I would never listen to anyone who says that "I should compromise or let of of the standards that I have". I would never do that.No matter who says that to me, I won't ever listen to that.

I would happily remain alone/single for my entire lifetime but I won't ever let go or compromise on my standards.

Excellent thinking.Keep it up, both of you.

The next question is what they'll do once they have found this person.
Are they ready to really advance that relationship? Do they even WANT to?

And some (here especially) seem to see this as the expected end point regardless.
