Reasons I have decided not to date people include: "I don't like his teeth;" "he lives too far away;" "we work at the same place;" "he works somewhere I'd have to see him every day/it would ruin [x place] for me;" "He hasn't dated enough people;" "not good enough in bed;" "seems too into me;" "has a kid;" "can't spell;" "unibrow;" "vegan;" and so on.

A lot of those are bullshit. Actually, most of those are bullshit. Perhaps all of them.

It's okay to be picky. Just don't let your pickiness become "artificial structures devised not beacuse you have a reason for them, but because you are afraid of dating, and so use fake "standards" in order to ensure everyone who approaches you is immediately ineligible.

I've met two or three people in my life I'd consider dating. It's not that I'm picky to the point of avoiding. Just that I know what will work and what won't.

I have always said that I want is not a significant other, but a Partner In Crime. Someone who will do all the crazy shenanigans I want to do with me - someone who will be down for all my hare-brained ideas.

I want both. :P.
