That is all you could extract from what I posted?

Shopping's always easier with a list. *grin*
Yea, I was thinking about that . Would help to narrow down my options some.

It's really amazing how you come to realize things when you put pen to paper.

No, I comprehend the entire thing and agree with some of it, to an extent. I agree that you shouldnt settle on a lot of things, but I also dont think people should just give up either. Then again, everyone is a completely different individual and its quite feasible whats right for one person is wrong for another. Mostly I was just making fun of your name to see your reaction.

Chocolate and Leaving -

I get what you're saying, and I agree to a certain extent. There are some things I could NEVER live with and I won't budge on those things. But others I think I have come to realize are not as important.

I have always been an idealist, but I think with time I am just being more realistic. I guess that is what I am trying to say. Realistically, if I write a list 2 pages long on all the things I want in a guy, I will never find him. That guy does not exist.

So that's where I'm at now. No guy is perfect. I just want someone that is right for me. And if that means he watches lame television shows, or doesn't like art as much as I do, then so be it.

2 page list? Wow. I think you'll find yourself paring that down a little.

Well, plus, you can make that list, find someone who meets the criteria, and then have no chemistry/spark.

liz-

there are things i realized that arent that important either. i agree with you! like i said obscene and vulgar tattoos are a turn off to me right? i used to NEVER want to see someone with ANY tattoos, but i since realized im okay with some ink. in the paste i would NEVER see someone who wasn't a college grad and while a college education is important to me, i can settle on a guy not having a college education. i know no one is perfect. i am not perfect, and i dont think what i desire is near perfection. there are things i can and will accept from someone, and others i just cant. know what i mean?

Oh, was that what you were doing? My bad.

Just for kicks, how did giving up come into the conversation?
