Search Results: date preference

Kristen Bell is a fairly close match to the physical characteristics I would list for my "ideal" woman. However, in my entire life, I have only dated three girls who bore any resemblance at all to this ideal. I have been attracted to many other women who were not petite blondes with a cute face and smaller features. I have dated women who were in my life, who were attractive, who were kind and pleasant, and I had many satisfactory experiences with those women who weren't ideal, but they were great in their own ways.

So how often have you dated someone who actually fit the specifications for your ideal partner?

And if you do have a strong preference, why?

In a attempt to have a healthier outlook on humanity, and to silence my own personal biases about the opposite gender, I would like to get some opinions on how men and women can learn to be allies instead of enemies, I feel society tends to make us think negatively of each other, I’d like to be able to discuss the unique struggles of both genders, show compassion and empathy for each other’s hardships, think how we can make each other stronger if we stop assuming the worst about each other, and learn to value and appreciate each other’s strengths and weaknesses, I’d love to see society start leaning more towards these topics… so I guess these are my questions…
1.) how can we be less biased about the opposite gender?
2.) do you think it’s possible for the majority of men and women to be allies instead of enemies?
3.) what are steps to have a deeper understanding and appreciation for each other?
4.) how can we improve dating / casual sex?
5.) do our preferences in who we date / hookup with reinforce bad habits in society?
6.) as men and women should we oppose double standards?
