[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here..thanks. I guess I am really just not sure what to compromise on. I don't really care about looks but I do care about being physically attracted to him and having sexual chemistry. I don't really care about money but I do care that he is financially independent and responsible with money. I don't really care about education but I do care that he is intelligent and can have meaningful discussions.

I am mid thirties - I know who I am and i am not sure how not to be picky.

I know that I really don't mesh well with people who are uptight/Type A/rigid/high stress as I am spontaneous, laid back, and flexible. I But is that picky?

I love to travel, to go on adventures, to explore the world off the beaten track. I have traveled almost every year of my life. So I don't really want to be with someone who is a homebody who has no interest in the world and who hates traveling. But is that too picky?

I know how I feel about myself as a woman and have ideas about gender roles. I broke up with one guy because I hated how he treated his mother, another because he wanted/expected me to me an emotional mess that he could fix and didn't really think women could have it all together. But is that too picky?

I guess I am not sure where I am being picky and the reality of being single in my thirties where I knew who I am and what I want. [/quote]

I am the PP directly above.  To me this doesn't sound picky.  However, we always seem to view ourselves in the best light.  Sometimes it takes someone who knows us well to give us the cold truth.  Do you have a friend like that?

Sometimes, we just have bad luck.  Maybe it's this...I don't know (or maybe I do).  But, I have a friend who has had two really bad relationships in 30s.  To me, it was bad luck.  I also have a friend who is extremely picky.  I don't know which you are - but maybe your friends can tell you.[/quote]
