Over time have you become less picky?

it's funny that you should bring this up. i have been single for 2 months, the longest time in my life that i have ever been single and it's like i'm accepting all applicants! for me, i know that loneliness does play a role in that. also, i have had some bad experiences in love. my daughter's father looks like john stamos, which is the reason i got with him. he turned out to be an awful person and an even worse father. so, now, i'm trying not to let looks be that much of a factor. of course, there has to be come physical attraction, but i'm not making that on my top 5 list anymore.

lol...nooooo!! maybe I've learned after many years of not being picky that it's better not to settle but I'm either going to get exactly what I want or be alone. It's my choice to live with with. I realize I have a lot of priorities but that's the way it is!

After a certain point in your maturity you realize that looks really dosen't matter. ( says the orc stumbeling around in the woods )

For me I just have to feel an attraction towards her. She may have flaws. Other people may not see her the same way I do. The truth is people have different standards in judging physical beauty. All I know is I have my own taste. It senses which women are attractive to me. I don't think I have become less picky and neither have my standards gone down over time.

Compared when i was in my teenage years i can say that yes, I've become less picky in choosing for a partner. AS i've matured i found out that there should be something more than meets the eye. What matters more now is the inside beauty of a person.

I don't think it's a matter of being less picky, at least not for me. It has more to do with having different priorities. In high school, social status is everything. Looks have a lot to do with status. But as we mature and we realize what it takes to make us happy, and we have goals that go beyond having the best prom dress, what we look for in a mate changes. I find my husband absolutely gorgeous, even when he hasn't shaved in a week. His beauty goes so much deeper than his physical appearance. In a way, you could say I am more picky, because I am now more interested in qualities that are so much more important than looks, like maturity, a good work ethic, commitment and good character. And it is not settling in any way, shape or form.
