what's your type?

Standards aren't a bad thing but having too many/too strict isn't good. If you want his/her good parts you have to accept the bad. This should be obvious but I have seen some ignorant people. And now back to Neon G. :D

I agree with kodevex, love isn't something mathematical and even though we all have a few traits we like to find in our partners wanting them to answer to an extended list of specific characteristics is just unrealistic and also the best way to end up disappointed and/or single. It's not a matter of self respect but of realism. No one is perfect, you fall in love with people not only because of their qualities but also their flaws. One can have standards without being narrow-minded or stuck on their ideals. If you search for something specific you might pass by someone amazing and not even notice, it's best to be open to possibilities, more often than not what you want is not what you need.

I like to think I'm really kind, sweet, and compassionate, but besides those I'm also really optimistic and exuberant. If you mean Blood Type, I'm pretty sure I'm a B.

Just someone who loves my work as much as she loves me. Someone who's passion flows in the same career field and hobbies, preferrably a fellow cartoonist/gamer/singer, but (personality) is most important to me. HER VALUABLE QUALITIES: Sweet, Responsible, Caring, Strong, Understanding (above all else), Music (a love for Jrock and karaoke), Sympathetic, Loyal, Honest, Cutesy, Funny, Drawing, Video Games, Daddy Issues (like me), Easygoing (doesn't rush into relationships, new expenses or odd jobs), OCA ^///^ ~I snicker cutely and strongly blush~ (Obsessive Compulsively Affectionate, loves to cuddle, flirt and kiss me all the time and everywhere, even while I'm working, tired or just waking up) hehe SHE CANNOT BE: Greedy, Self-Centered, Impulsive, Judgemental, Secretive, Negative, Violent, a Swearer/Liar/Drinker/Smoker/Addict/Cheater/Thief, Flirty with others, Sadistic, Hypocritical, Unfair, Ungrateful, Spoiled and Whiney

lanalesty/kodevex, Who in this topic has standards and preferences that are too many/too strict? who here is asking for perfection? Please point out some examples because it seems like you're projecting fictitious and baseless complaints. lanalesty, When you get so bent out of shape over other people's preferences it makes it start to seem as if you're simply bitter that people aren't more accepting of you yourself. If this is the case, passive aggressively taking out your frustrations on other people isn't going to make you more desirable you know. People can want and like whatever they want and it's none of your business what that might be.

"Better to have standards and ideals that just take whatever you can get. Try to have some self respect man." Came off as a bit harsh. I don't think anyone said "Whatever they can get." You like whatever you like, just that some people have different values.

"You like whatever you like, just that some people have different values." Your comment seems misdirected vampire_neko. lanalesty is the one criticising people for liking what they like and wanting what they want. I'm simply saying there's nothing wrong with having standards and preferences.

lanalesty said: "what i mean is everyone is so specific it's like they're just describing their favorite character which i find hilarious. Because more often than not, that's not how things work xD" to which you said: "Better to have standards and ideals that just take whatever you can get. Try to have some self respect man." (I really have no idea of the point of your comment there as nothing lanalesty said indicated that he was willing to just take whatever he could get, or lacked self respects. He just indicated that he felt some people had unrealistic expectations based on anime characters) Then kodevex said: "Standards aren't a bad thing but having too many/too strict isn't good. If you want his/her good parts you have to accept the bad. This should be obvious but I have seen some ignorant people. And now back to Neon G. :D" to which lanalesty said: "I agree with kodevex, love isn't something mathematical and even though we all have a few traits we like to find in our partners wanting them to answer to an extended list of specific characteristics is just unrealistic and also the best way to end up disappointed and/or single.

(Which I agree with. Because nobody is perfect and everybody has some flaws. So you should be willing to accept minor flaws, but that doesn't mean you are compromising.) but you said: "lanalesty/kodevex, Who in this topic has standards and preferences that are too many/too strict? who here is asking for perfection?

People can want and like whatever they want and it's none of your business what that might be." (Who's getting "bent out of shape..."? Seems like you are getting more bothered than either of them. All they did was suggest some people might have certain preferences dictated by anime characters. Whether people here do or don't I couldn't say. But it wouldn't be surprising if that's a factor in certain people's preferences. I totally agree too that in the current state of online dating that people do tend to have predefined ideals and use the internet as a catalog as sorts to look for a person to talk to that fits their ideals and because of that can often pass up getting to know people for who they are that might make a good relationship with. Anyway, I wasn't trying to start a fight. Just pointing some things out from my perspective.)

...and people complain about the length of my posts. "y'all describing anime characters here rofl. " They're clearly talking down to people here and poking fun of them. If this person wasn't bent out of shape they'd keep their opinions to themselves and not laugh at people for liking what they like. "He just indicated that he felt some people had unrealistic expectations based on anime characters)" Which there are few if any of in this topic. The expectations depicted in this topic are about as realistic as can be, if you think it's unrealistic to want someone you can get along with, who laughs at your jokes, or is maybe a bit nerdy, then you've either got some really low confidence in your desirability, or extremely low standards of your own. If you think that's asking too much of people then yes it really is compromising. Even if it was true that people are describing anime characters, what of it? People are free to like whatever they want. What gives you the right to laugh at them for it? "No one is perfect, you fall in love with people not only because of their qualities but also their flaws." Again, please point out people in this topic asking for perfection. When I jump around this topic (aside from some off topic discussion and joking around) it's mostly people asking for a handful of traits they'd like in a partner. Don't strawman me, I never said anyone has to be perfect, that's what anime characters are for. (Who's getting "bent out of shape..."? Seems like you are getting more bothered than either of them When I read this all I can see is a reworded version of "I know you are but what am I?" stay classy vampire_neko. If you feel the need to poke fun of people for their preferences then clearly you have a problem. If I said something along the lines of "You like crippled people? wtf 0_o" or "eww your gay?! yukkyy!!" Most people would be offended don't you think? so why is it okay to say "y'all describing anime characters here rofl. "? besides being wrong they're laughing at people for their liking what they like, and this was followed by another strawman argument calming people here have unrealistic expectations and expect perfection when that's simply not true. This is just a classic example of projection.
