Are your dating standards too high or too low?

[Dionysus]

I hinted at this earlier. I'm desperately seeking someone with the same level ambition. As for education, a bachelor's degree is fine. I'm three months away from getting my Master's, I usually attract those with community/career college educations (if I'm lucky). I consider my level of ambition to be average (perhaps realistic). I'm seeking a 9 to 5 job, and starting a small business on the side when I graduate. I attract those with really low ambition (doesn't mind working at a gas station forever) or those with really high ambition (wants to be come a professional athlete or musician). I don't consider my standards for education and ambition that high. What is going on?

LOL

What a funny dealbreaker!

Get out more. No, really. I can see not feeling comfortable with certain people as a group, that's pretty natural. But, it's not impossible to find someone as an individual from an different ethnic group that you feel comfortable with. Throwing out whole racial/ethnic groups really shrinks your dating pool.

Yes, that's a big turn-off for me also.

But, they are rumored to be better in bed. I think someone with a nipple (or whatever) piercing would do more freaky things. I might be wrong though.

Not necessarily so...just because you got extra tools to use doesn't mean that one is adept at using them

Nothing wrong with doing the freak nasty, but the natural freaky. Less is more. You know what I mean?

o.k. the fake PB thing is getting ridiculous now. 1st of all this doesn't sound like you (the real PB)....well, it doesn't sound like something you would post. I had to double check the join date and post number, and 2nd I almost sent the wrong PB a very private PM, and 3rd I'm tired of referring to PB as being the real PB.

I'm telling John and a moderator. Sending PM now.

I no longer know who I am typing to.

But if you know the real PB well enough to send a very private PM, you might also know him off the board. Contact him off the board with your very private thoughts.

I was being sarcastic.

You're DSTCHAOS so I'm sure you weren't.

ROTF!!!!! I had to scratch my head because the one she quoted at that moment was the real PB (and I didn't have to look at his post count to know that ).


I did see a video in psych class where someone dressed as a "nerdy Asian," then a camera followed him around and showed how angry other Asians got at him for "perpetuating the stereotype."
