If your time on this service has shown anything, surely it is to make sound choice in partners?
Pay particular attention to my line about robots.

I am not as cold and calculating as you are.

Gr8Guy....this doesn't have to be something cold and calculating. It can just be how you think you'd spontaneously react in a given situation(s).

Fair points. Also, I would reckon that there are different degrees of tolerance for the same "flaw" in different prospective partners. Let's say someone has a potty mouth but that's all that's wrong with them....everything else is perfect. Some people might find that characteristic either easier (or more difficult) to deal with given the absence of other flaws, whereas if they also let's say drank too much and had horrible table manners, the cussing could be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

I don't like a potty mouth that much, on her, but I *ADORE* a filthy laugh when the moment warrants one .


In fact, it's a *REQUIREMENT* that the dream girl has to have one.

Nothing better for appreciating certain humor and jokes.

I payed a big price after being with my partner for a while and then after a while of being with him it just got worse and we had no where to go financial we we're kinda of stuck and then he died. I'm I'm still paying the price. I don't think I could do it again. I will not pay a big price to suffer in a relationship I'm not happy in. You can't be sure, you don't know what's in the core of someone sole.

The way he explained it is that no one is perfect, and our imperfections are our price of admission. And in a relationship, the goal is to meet someone who is worth their price of admission. What I'm willing to pay might not be what someone else is willing to pay
An interesting analogy and I see it as admission to a ride in an amusement...sometimes the price is too high if the ride is boring and just goes around in circles like the merry-go-round. Some might love the thrill of the roller coaster or it might turn their stomach!

I couldn't list things that I would consider my price as I think it really matters on the good qualities of the other person as others have also stated. It really is a balance of the two.

Gr8Guy--I don't think it is a calculating, robot type thing. It's more along the lines of being in a relationship with someone and coming to a point where you think he/she is so not worth putting up with all the bad stuff (the drama, tardiness, lack of consideration, etc.).

My price of admission: Women reciprocate interest and expense.

Matters of economic equity, I don't put up with anything (tried but could not get my boss to agree to fund it.) Matters of individual uniqueness, I may check and see what happens.
So you claim you have skin in the game?

Plus, I think we can all admit that we will pay a higher price for a better looking person.

Seriously? I have a saying you have no chance of stimulating any part of me if you can't stimulate my mind. Not everyone is superficial.
