I'm different I guess b/c I have dated girls who are somewhat curvy/thick & didn't have a problem with it. I've been on the receiving end of "dating discrimination" so many times b/c of my height, so I can totally relate.
The only thing that is a dealbreaker to me, at least right off the bat is someone who's a smoker. I tried kissing a girl that smoked once & I had to back off right away b/c I thought I was gonna throw up in her mouth lol it was gross.
Don't feel bad, I won't date students, men who earn less than I do or lack education, or a guy with a small d*ck. We're all entitled to our preferences.
Why do you feel bad? You are entitled to your preferences. Just as women are.
I wouldn't date a man who smoked, who was not financially stable, who did not open doors for me, who complained about paying child support from a previous marriage, who owned more than one dog, who made less money than I do, or any number of other things. Those were some of my preferences.
I think it's okay to have preferences..to a certain degree. If a person worked hard on their body, and kept in shape, and they wanted someone to do the same, I can understand that. Because it's hard to control what PHYSICALLY attracts you sometimes. Im not overweight, but regardless, every guy in the world is not going to look at me and find me "hot". That's just the way it is. Physically attraction is what it is.
However, some other things just look kind of shallow to me. Now, to the person who wrote the above post, please dont get too pissed at me that im using your post as am example. You have the right to set whatever preferences you have. But for me, saying I wouldnt date someone who made less money than me, or having more than one dog, is leading into being a bit "picky".
Is it THAT bad that a guy makes $5,000 a year less than you if he has a good, respectable job and is a hard worker? Is a guy who seems to be an absolute sweetheart, has a good job, and opens doors for you, doesnt smoke, seems to want a steady relationship, now all of a sudden no good because you find out he has TWO dogs instead of one??
I guess what I'm asking is, just how far do people take these "list of preferences"? Are these preferences "deal breakers " or no?
Alternately, it sounds like you think you'd be doing them a favor, OP, if you widened the net. Believe me, they'll find someone who loves them and doesn't think they're doing them a favor. So, no, please do not do anyone any favors.
Why are you second-guessing your desires anyway? I'm shameless, but then I like personalities. Uniqueness.

In this economy, job security is not easy. What kind of Education are we talking about?

I work hard for my body for many many years and with a healthy diet.
In this economy, job security is tough to come by. Almost everyone had ups and downs financially. To me, how they budget their finances is important and what they do with the money they earn. Making a lot of money is obselete to me when they are spending more then they earn or have no long financial goals.
