IaoKim View Profile History	Personal Preferences: How much is too much? Posted : 2 Apr, 2012 06:40 PM Over time through a lot of thought and prayer based on my personal dating experiences in person and online I have developed a strong sense of what I am looking for in a potential partner. On my profile, I do mention a few of my basic preferences. I have thought about going into more detail about what type of girl I am interested in such as her personality etc. to encourage girls who meet that describe to message and/or respond to my messages after viewing my profile. However, I do not want to come across as negative/overly picky or discourage otherwise great Christian girls from messaging me simply because they feel they do not exactly measure up to my listed preferences. So far I have been pretty content with the way I handle those preferences by leaving the details for topics of conversation in my personal messages. However, I'm always looking for ways to improve my profile. So how much is too much in regards to listing personal preferences on your profile? Post Reply

You can figure out through conversations whether or not the girl meets your stringent criteria. But also be aware that she may be doing the same thing to you, to see if you meet her must have criteria. Post Reply

Posted : 3 Apr, 2012 04:44 AM I wouldnt be too specific with preferences, just say the basics such as age range and smoker or non smoker as you have. They do say opposites attract so do not be too restrictive in your search. Post Reply

The reason why I don't list those personality preferences on my profile is because they are just that preferences -- they are not "'must haves". And trust me I do not want another girl just like me -- that would get old fast lol. In general, I look for a girl that can appreciate my strengths while complementing my weaknesses and vice versa. Ultimately I believe any two people within reason can have a successful relationship if they are willing to put forth the effort into understanding each other and are united in following Christ. Although some personality combinations do get along easier than others! lol Post Reply

Posted : 14 Apr, 2012 12:10 AM you seem to have a good handle on what you said but maybe put a little about what draws you physically even if you add in that you are open to anything afterward. personally i find those who put down that they want a virgin insulting those who made choices that were wrong in the past and ending up having sex but know now it was wrong and have grown in Christ. to judge another by their past is a sad thing.
