And
This is why I have no horror stories nor any ill will towards any of the women I've dealt with. I actually took time to vet who I was dealing with before hoping into anything serious.
- How do you currently move in your daily life
- How did you move in your daily life before I ever met you
- How do you treat people
- How do you treat yourself
- What's your relationship like with your family
- What are you working towards in life
- What do you do with your free time
- How does she treat me. (while this & a persons past can be faked for awhile ....unless she a superspy or some shyt, the above are not likely to be faked just for me)
Now these aren't explicitly asked questions, these are the type of things I observe before deciding what type of role she will play in my life.
You have folks skipping these things, getting burned, then showing up on youtube and the larger web shytting on the opposite sex.
CONCESSION:
- How folks act in divorce situations can be completely left of anything expected or shown prior.
- Depending on how young the person is they may not have a solid idea yet of what traits to (look for / avoid) in mates.
I was under the impression that
their gripe was typically that folks complain about not finding a "nice" person to date ....then "ignoring" actually nice people they could date.
I.E. If folks never said "were are all the nice
[insert opposite sex here] at" I don't think they would have the same gripes.
(basically they are saying "if your looking for me I'm right here")
Now with that said that speaks to another of your points; that being nice alone won't cut it. Yes they want a "nice" person but in addition to other things.
Actually I'd expand on that "nice alone won't cut it" idea a different way.
I know girls who basically get up, goto work, goto lunch, maybe stop by the grocery store on the way home, then they are done for the day. Perfectly "nice" girls but you would never run into them.
The whole "night life" thing is only for a subset of people. Folks who operate outside of that type of rubric have a harder time finding mates.
I've advocated in the past for having multiple lanes.
- "Night life"/online dating lane - For those folks who go out and actively pursue relationships
- Family Arrangement dating lane - For folks who want relationships but don't want to deal with all the games of folks in the "Night life"/online dating lane.(community apparatus for families with adult children who've asked to be paired up)
- College Marriages - For folks who want to marry people of a similar age and life path. (once out of school your dating pool is drastically reduced do to the age, work relation, and marital status of folks your typically around)
- etc lane - For some other possible configuration.
