Possibly, but pretending you don’t have a checklist is worse. I don’t date smokers and I’m not interested in single moms, neither makes me anything other than normal. If you have a broader base from which to draw, good for you. I’m not poo pooing your choices, its you who is doing so to me.
Quite to the contrary of your view, I think we all have checklists. I think its only in the everybody gets a trophy and nobody gets feelings hurt world where we don’t admit it.
If you don’t agree with my choices, by all means comment freely. I posted this thread expecting no less. If you think you are adding value with that type of comment, you are wrong. Then again, that’s just my judgment.
I will agree with you that love is where you find it and that being accepting of others is a very good trait to have. However its easy to prove you do have a checklist as I’m relatively certain I can find very specific traits that are an absolute deal killer for you and anyone else.
Acceptance must be tempered to varying degrees. I just admit that my acceptance is a bit harder to come by. I have somewhat higher standards, ahem I mean longer checklists.
