Look - I'm not Ms. Perfect and I don't expect the guy I'm going to date to be Mr. Perfect, but neither am I willing to settle for someone I know I won't intellectually relate to.
I'm a smart girl, and that I'm saying without trying to be a snob. Oh I'm one of those too - yes, a snob.
I've got a friend telling me to lower my standards and just date the guy who responds. Well, that would work out except i've seen the aftermath of girls who "settle" and I'm better than that. I have a standard and yes a lot of guys fail the test. I don't feel "desperate" enough to reduce those standards even if I do feel lonely at times.
Lonely I can handle when I'm alone. Loneliness brought on by being with someone who doesn't meet my standards, someone I can't have a conversation with, that's even worse.
So, go on "friend", tell me to lower my expectations, you go on and enjoy that girl you'd never have looked at before until you wanted sex more than a relationship, I'm going to hold out, because it seems to me "friend" that you want me to change who I am to face the world. Maybe that's what you do.
But me? I change the world to face me. And it's worked.
I'm not giving up.
Peace out!
