Yes! No standards for relationships! That's the answer!

That's my problem. I have all these requirements and sub-categories. I keep telling myself I won't date someone who is hateful, humorless, morbidly obese and/or dumb-as-a-sack-of-hammers.

This thread has made me see I am just screwing myself over potential suitor-wise. If I changed my attitude, I could have a "mutually agreeable partner," by the middle of next week (if someone could just quickly change the defintion of "mutually agreeable partner," to "someone I find vile and repulsive that I wouldn't want to be in the same room with for 5 minutes.")

I get it now. I just needed to see the math.


Damn me and my requirements and sub-categories.

Here is the problem with your statement.

When you eliminate your requirements, you are also watering down the term "mutually agreeable"

Yeah, I can agree to sign a 1 year contract for $5,000,000 even though I was asking (and feel like I deserved) 3 years @8,000,000 per.

Doesn't mean I am going to be happy with it.

I'll just continue to play hard and hope some other team finds me more worthy next year.

This is what people in relationships do when they decide to "lower" their standards.

Lol at comparing sports earnings potentials to marraige...

Im sure the ladies love the comparison.

Id have thought the more non negotiables you have then the harder it will be to find someone who fits all your criteria.

What's fucking weird is that I did not see this post and I posted a picture of the squirrel feeder in the Wildlife thread... total co-incidence. I guess the picture must have been making it's way around the interwebz?

The more sub categories or "requirements" they tend to desire in a potential suitor the smaller that pool of potential suitors becomes and thus their chance of finding a mutually agreeable partner becomes diminished??

Its simple numbers people.

The more qualities one requires in a potential partner then the less chance they have to finding that someone due to limited number of people that fit those pre-requisites...

Anyone think any differently??

Why settle?

Not suggesting that.

Heard this topic of debate on radio couple weeks back and thought it be a thought provoking issue to discuss.

However, on the topic of settling, what if your 1st priority was taken. Would you then settle for 2nd best (even for something as small as fear of being lonely?)

Thankfully not that guy but im sure we all know someone who fits into that category...
 
I don't think most people have prioritized lists per se. I kind of look at the total package, but there are some things that are not negotiable. I have dated people who really didn't make my "total package" requirement in the past and regretted it, gotten out and then lamented the wasted time.

I didn't really think of it as settling though...it was more what worked for me at the time for various reasons.
 
No this thread is actually pretty astute. It's easy to say that the current state of things is fine, with each individual setting their own standards which are in keeping with their level of desperation. But in the bigger picture, people really should stop being so fussy, given how dangerously underpopulated the world is becoming.
