I want to ask the ladies here if you feel you're a good judge of character as far as the dating world goes. Also, if you're a good judge of character outside of the dating world and if you feel there's a difference between your 'radar' in dating vs real world non dating situations. thanks

My radar improved overtime, as I became more introspective and discerning. I think that can apply to a variety of situations. I choose my friends wisely, too. I don't just befriend anyone. I'm pretty selective about the company I keep.

I'm a wise old man... at least that's what I tell myself when I think bout the trade offs of waking up with injuries that I didn't earn.

I think I've got a great sense of "people" judgment of character.... one thing that I've learned is is that crap begets crap and no one is free from it...man, woman, kids, whatever. Bad behavior is bad.... I have no longer since applied a gender to bad behavior... when it comes up. Fine... it comes up, otherwise it doesnt' matter much.

Agreed. The older I get, the wiser I become.

I'm a lady, I'm 23, and in high school I was extremely drawn to to the worst guys. THE WORST. Now, because of that, I can sense them a mile away. I've always been able to accurately read other females. I was never a girly girl, I chose to hang out with the guys. So I always know about the girls i like and the ones i can't trust to keep my pet rock safe.

Everyone tends to get wiser with age. You peak, then it goes back down again.

Yes, all that. Except I still make the occasional stumble.

I think it's hard when people are younger to be a good judge of character because generally it's about having fun rather than finding someone to stick with. But with time and experience and changes in the qualities you might be looking for in a partner I would like to think we get better.

Personally I'm decent but that does not mean I immediately run from those I should ��

My intuition has been correct probably at least 90% of the time when meeting someone (first impressions and all that). That doesn't mean that I have always listened to it.
