What requirements would it take for you to date someone?

Loaf · February 20, 2016, 09:09:22 PM

So, I have been talking with this person from okcupid, it's nothing serious. We've just been talking on skype a bit. They're a genderqueer person, very sweet and intelligent and nice to talk to. The thing is, idk like if I could ever date someone who doesn't have certain things in common. They're not very into art or artistic, they don't really have any interest in heavy music at all. I dunno if I could date someone if they weren't into heavy music like metal or industrial or something.

Because like, beyond being able to have a civil conversation, isn't there certain interests you should share with a person you date? This is all just hypothetical, for when I find someone I want to date. I was thinking that if I can't like, go to concerts with them and share a common deep interest in art, I dunno what we could possibly do. You know what I mean? Also healthy eating, that seems like something that I would have to have in common with someone too. I mean, it's just my lifestyle, I'm incredibly strict with what I eat.

But yeah, we talked on skype for like 5 hours today about just stuff.

Blonde, blue eyes, big ass, big tits.

free hugs

I'm pretty low maintenance here. If someone liked me and weren't too psychologically damaged or physically grotesque then I could date them.

DAS B00T x2 · February 20, 2016, 09:16:28 PM

Daddy issues and a history of sexual abuse.

A Cheese Potato · February 20, 2016, 09:18:11 PM

well they probably have to be alive for it to count as dating, right

I totally hear you about psychological damage. Psychologically damaged people can be some of the sweetest people, but also way more trouble than they're worth though, I'm sorry to say. It's really just a matter of not being able to handle someone with extreme psychological issues, it can become too much of a strain on yourself to make anything worth while.

I can't afford to be too picky if I ever want to be married.

Ian · February 20, 2016, 09:31:36 PM

That's some pretty low standards for an individual like you tbh fam.

Sometimes it's better to have someone who might not have the same interests. Gets you to try new things, gets you out of your comfort zone (I know I'm the last person that should be making this claim).

OT: I dunno, over the years my biggest requirement basically boiled down to: No fatties and I feel I was being reasonable in bending the curve as to what counted as "overweight" considering the fact I myself am not really fat, I certainly ain't not body builder either. However, recent events in the last two and a half months or so has scrambled my viewpoint like eggs over what I want/look for in a partner, so I guess in reference to my previous comment about getting out of your comfort zone, I feel I'm being thrown out the window by force (not that in this situation it's a bad thing).

Yeah I hear you, I just don't think you really know what you're saying when you say I have low standards lol. There's been like so many guys who message me on okcupid, I reject them all. I even went out to lunch with 2 and almost went out to lunch with another one, they just weren't on par what so ever. I just completely ignore a shit load of messages on okcupid because I look at their profile and they don't look like the material at all.

Naru · February 20, 2016, 09:40:34 PM

um

i just want them to like me back tbh

Ian · February 20, 2016, 09:41:14 PM

The comment on low standards was meant for Verbatim, with his attitude I feel he has a right to be more picky.

An attractive, whiteish, fairy-faced twink who is at least my height.

But really this, not many people can put up with me once they get to know me.

Jono · February 21, 2016, 01:03:59 AM

She needs to be blonde

Solonoid · February 21, 2016, 01:05:18 AM

Tbh I want someone who will take care of me.

I definitely want to be the feminine asset in the relationship.

Desty · February 21, 2016, 02:02:27 AM

Has to be a small-time thing with someone I find appealing, or for my more standard preference she/he has to be one of these:
ESFP
INTP
ISFJ
ENTJ

Now, from these types they have to have traits I find respectable.

Mmmmm Napalm · February 21, 2016, 03:36:56 AM

She has to be willing to wear replica Imperial German military uniforms and/or a dirndl.

She has to be a supporter of the Galactic Empire.

She has to be of the same faith as me.

She has to be pretty. Preferably with short (around mid-neck length) hair.

She has to be willing to have long conversations about history.

She has to be accepting of an orderly and somewhat regimented lifestyle. I've had to deal with too much messiness and disorganization in my life.

February 21, 2016, 03:43:51 AM

Well...
