Women on dating services have unrealistic expectations

[melonboobs]

I'm happily married.

I got some popup advertisement for match.com when I was looking at something completely different.

Out of curiousity I halfway signed up just so I could see what was out there but they couldn't see me.

Man, you wouldn't believe all the old hags out there with unrealistic expectations.

Woman's rights groups claim porn gives men unrealistic expectations. That's BS. Most men take whatever they can get.

Most of these unattractive or average looking women insist on tall younger men. There are 40 year old women who will only date men aged 29-42 and are at least 6 feet tall.

So they'll only go 2 years older but 11 years younger? I've got news for them. It won't be long before they're 42.

I feel sorry for women in their late 20's or early 30's who just aren't particularly attractive. But these old women in their 40's who have exacting height and age requirements? They just aren't being realistic.

I used to work for a dating site as a programmer and could see some of the profiles that were put up. The men had equally unrealistic expectations.

But why shouldn't people aim for the best? It's unrealistic for me to think I'd stand a chance with Charlize Theron, but that's no reason not to try.

They've been reading too many romance novels. :lol

I think its absurd at times, how people set these limits of expectations, like I will only date someone who is like this or looks like this, truly have we become that shallow of people. What ever happened to getting to know people and going out and dating.

For most, a relationship begins with physical attraction. Sometimes confidence or some other strong personality trait can factor in initially, as well, but if the person isn't at least somewhat good looking (to the eye of the beholder), it's unlikely that anything will happen on a romantic scale. (Money is a completely different animal)

This is not a "shallow" thing. It's basically how we, as humans, work. Fortunately, different folks have different takes on what's attractive. I like bean-pole sized girls, but I know many, many other guys who love them some curves that don't quit.

There are some women who wouldn't look at me twice because I'm not a big teddy bear, no matter what positive -other- qualities I'd have in their eyes.

As for unrealistic expectations, I think we all have those to some degree. I'd like to think I was still attractive to gals just out of college, but now I'm probably just creepy as I'm in my mid-30s. 🙂

Man, you wouldn't believe all the old hags out there with unrealistic expectations.

Last time I checked there was a shit load of old men who have had relationships or outright married women easily in their early 20's hun. Yet when elderly women try and shoot for someone younger they're labeled "old hags with unrealistic expectations" by you? Sounds alot like the pot calling the kettle black to me.

I feel sorry for women in their late 20's or early 30's who just aren't particularly attractive.

That's funny. I feel sorry for men who are only able to judge a book by it's cover. Oh well. It is an imperfect universe.

Try living in a world full of expectations thought up by and maintained by men hun AS A WOMAN. It's not as easy as you might think hun.

Sucks for both sides to me...in general, not in every case mind you...woman feel pressured to have to look good, and men feel pressured to have to pay for everything since it's one of those unspoken things that you see in movies all the time. I know, its not always like that...both sides have it plenty rough, and both sides may expect high standards. I think the point of a dating site is to put your ideal match, don't expect it, but at worst it will be someone that fits some of the criteria. For me, I'm not picky, but I prefer a woman to have figure...not be so skinny as so many folks are that they seem like twigs...but not fat either...no offense, but I need to be psychically attracted (and am) to the person I am with, as well as emotionally.
