I try to just choose to be always happy. So if I am in a relationship with a man that is always around, and we go and do fun things... I am happy.

Sounds great? Right up until they say that they are not happy with me as a person and can't see spending their lives with me. So I do not bring joy to other people.

Is it a case of I won't bring joy to anyone or do men have some crazy expectations of changing me when they meet me, then getting discouraged when I don't cooperate? Is it a myth that someone is out there for everyone?

Is it possible that someone that actively seeks a relationship will never find one?

I polled some exes this morning and the consensus is that I am uncompromising and one way. What type of guy is good with this trait?

Very few people -- men or women -- are comfortable with a partner who is uncompromising. Successful relationships generally involve compromise.

The guy who is so milquetoast that you'd have absolutely no interest in him.

So I guess the better question is how does one be more compromising? Like how do you sit through a Star Trek movie when you hate and can't comprehend what is even happing in this movie about another world?

If a bloke doesn't like particular trait about yourself for whatever reason then that's only HIS preference and not everyone's

Depends on what the reason is.......What are they trying to change about you that you won't compromise on? Is it something specific about yourself or something that might effect the relationship ( i.e. The both of you )?

Would you be good with someone with those traits?

If you are in a relationship then it's nice to do something your SO might want to do and unfortunately at times you have to grin and bare it

Step 1: realize that, in any relationship, it ain't all about you
