I've been saying this for years. People called me a misanthrope.

Of course, by that time, their "standards" are slipping too. You will have realized the futility of this and moved on.

That's one of the reasons why so many straight women turn to bisexuality.

I'm sure there are people who think I'm destined to be alone for the rest of my life and I'm ok with that. I'd rather be alone that have to settle for less.
I agree. There's no need to compromise in a mate. And there's no way would I date a smoker, heavy partier or intellectually challenged man just because he was charming. I'd just keep these sort of men as platonic friends and nothing more.

I am very realistic as to not expecting a man to change his lifestyle to suit mine. And it was also be cruel of me to date someone knowing that at some point, him having these deal breakers would cause me to break up with him.

I don't have any standards, I'll take whatever comes along.

Hope someone does, but if they don't, then oh well.

You'll take anything that comes along? You sure about that?

Any female...biologically speaking.

Of course, I don't have to have a physical relationship with them...

So being female is the only requirement? They shouldn't have any qualities and abstain from any destructive behavior to be with you or around you, even if you don't have a physical relationship with them? Are you absolutely sure?

Absolutely sure. I did marry a schizophrenic, after all. And had she not disappeared on me, I'd still be with her today.

Schizophrenia, while challenging, is hardly the same as, say, a meth-head, a repeat felon, an abuser, or just plain someone you are not attracted to.

Are you saying you would date any one of these people?
