When I was in my early to mid 20s, I was shallow. So I really only wanted someone who looked good and was semi decent on the inside since I wasn't looking to settle down. However, the relationships were always dysfunctional and the only focus was mainly sexual.
I turn 28 in November and I'm more interested in the character of a man than anything else. Not saying I don't wanna like what I see, but looks change, even money changes, but character doesn't. I want someone who is like minded, accepting of himself so he can he accepting of others. Someone who values and loves himself enough to never sacrifice who he is for a female or anyone else. A man who values loyalty, communication, and honesty. Someone who truly understands the importance of maturity.
Not saying I don't want someone who is at a certain point in life at a certain age, but I am more than willing to work with a man who is actually TRYING To do his best.
beautiful!!
I was the same, not saying I'd wife someone I don't find attractive, but what good is looks without character and proper behaviour. I'm getting older looks fade, I rarely see 40 or 50 year old women I find attractive. Mostly all old people look the same to me anyways.
I've dated drop dead beautiful women on the exterior but once I took a bite out of that apple it was brown and wormy inside. It's like christmas as a kid, no kid cares how nice its wrapped and the bows and ish. If it was clothes it was
, could have been wrapped all flabby and sick but if it was nintendo 
Again not saying you'll see me with someone that is
, but someone who may be
but has characteristics, loyalty, maturity a heart of gold. as @Sharp said sometimes its not what you want but what you need
you had a keeper breh. But you live and you learn. But your right, as we age our expectations need to be adjusted with reality. That's like a 40 yr old saying they don't date anyone with kids, when at that age 90% of all have kids. Just not practical. One can have a preference all they want, but they have to constantly survey and adjust it to realty.

the majority of the men and women that made such a strong impact on our community, were young.
