Where is Brenda? She sounds perfect, we have so much in common!
This absolutely works for all genders to be fair. I've had women tell me they wouldn't date a bald guy even if the said guy is attractive otherwise . . . Right to my bald headed face. Hahaha.
This shit drives me insane. It is completely okay to have preferences, why would you expect anyone to want to date someone they do not find attractive? That's absurdly unfair.
Sure, but this is more just pointing out hypocrisy, the complaining is what I think they are getting at. He doesn't think his standards are unreasonable only that women having the same standards is unreasonable.
Guys and gals should be free to apply ALL of those criteria, both ways. You really okay with dudes who do?
Yeah as long as they can take it, they can dish it.
My thoughts - I am not about to police anyone's desires, that's not my job. Be as picky as you want, it's a big world full of people, you will probably find someone. Just don't get mad if the woman you want finds you don't meet her standards. I've had guys turn me down for being tall, don't care, better to know that even if I think it's stupid, right?
I think my daughters were pickier than the boys, honestly. Not about $$ at all but more picky in general. The boys did more like I did, and their dad, just sort of get around and see what sticks, you might be surprised who you find hottest and most attractive.
I would be annoyed if a guy didn't like that I work and take care of my looks and health, too. My husband is funny, he says I have raised his standards. Me, I got what I wanted, sex every day and a guy who works and makes money, works out, he's not shredded at all but fit and padded, yes? He got what he wanted, I work and make money, shit at housekeeping but really good cook, I stay in shape and work out too. So some of what reads as picky can be more lifestyle matching. I would not be with a sedentary guy, certainly not at this point. I am older and not signing up for a 100% chance of taking physical care of some physically idle old man when he inevitably gets sick.
Don't misunderstand, I wasn't replying to OP directly, merely commenting on the same thing as him.
And from this day forward, a new PizzaCake has been born
Love this modern concept of equality. Instead of everyone becoming a better person, everyone feel free to be your worst self
a combination of unrealistic porn bodies and pickup artist community
BRENDA IS A RAGE BAITING BITCH
I mean, women aren't much better tbh.
Worse, particularly in how they'll react when confronted with dudes who also use the "well off" criteria.
Comic holding a mirror, discussing men and women behaving the same.
yeah but women are the same too!
