When I was younger I was picky and miss out on opportunity that could been happy life. When getting order. I been more open and happier. It’s not perfect but I wish I was more open younger.
I think having a balance of both would be ideal. Know overall what you want but open-minded all in the same breath.
I think you should be open minded until you're actually looking for a long term partner and then be picky.
Picky, at least with values. I absolutely hate flakes.
I think being picky is better if you know what you want. Being somewhat open minded is good though because our judgement isn't perfect.
Guys and girls should be open and friendly to everyone, not excluding anybody. But at the same time, give higher priority to those who they find more connection with, to hopefully build a deeper relationship.
If you plan to spend the rest of your life with this person, be as picky as you want.
There honestly needs to be a balance. Be realistic but don't just go for anyone. It's ok to have deal breakers but don't have a list where they have to meet every expectation you have.
I have some deal breakers.
Disloyalty
Dishonesty
Cheated in the past
The rest was pretty much open to anything. I feel like you should have a few deal breakers but once it becomes a laundry list of wants and not wants you're in trouble
Good question. I try my hardest to be open minded, but end up becoming picky after a first date or meetup. I think it's better to be open minded and hope that she will be as well instead of trying to control the situation.
Be picky if you're ready for the possible consequences.
lmfao this made my day am going to bed happy :D
Men who expect you to cook and clean and get insecure over communication with the ex dont seem like the good ones to me, but I don't know. Some women are into that. I see what their relationships are like and im not at all envious. You can be miserable and committed too. Quality matters for me, I dont just need someone to fill a blank space to feel fulfilled and happy in life.
But I'm curious, would you be happy dating just anyone if you're not picky? You dont have any preferences that you are looking to match?
And if men can expect women to cook and clean. Qhy shouldn't women also expect him to bring in money? What are you providing in exchange for looks, cooking. And cleaning? Genuine question because I see some men saying all these things they want in a woman, qhile ironically being annoyed when women have standards themselves.
I cook and clean just fine... just a funny bit :P
Be picky when looking for your partner but be open minded when you get into the relationship.
Depends on what you're picky about. But overall be picky about personality but provided there's attraction, not so muxu about looks.
I tried being open when i had my first boyfriend.. yeah, never again. But i dont think I regret it that much, at least now i know what i really want. So now, im going to be picky.
I think it's best to have some things that you're really picky about and be flexible on others. Hopefully that makes sense.
Better to be as open-minded as possible because that increases your options for meeting someone. You can be picky later as you get to know them.
Picky. I dont care how well you click with someone, if you want kids and they dont it will just be a big heartache and waste of time for both of you... just one example.
The smart choice is to be a little bit picky, as this would save your time, and limit your chances of being with the wrong guy
I think it is better to know what you want and learn to recognize it.
Past a certain age you don't discover yourself through random partners anymore.
I think everybody should be open-minded and every situation actually
