How choosey are you over a finding a partner? Very? Why? Not very? Why? You gotta be choosey to find the right one aint you? But what do you not mind crossing off your tick list. Looks? Interests? Personally I just look to see I fancy them first, then do we get on, then are they domme? Seems theres no template to find the one and in the end it just happens anyway. Eta-its more of a discussion than a question really If love is blind I need to find a cane Edited Tue 18 Oct 11, 1:18 PM by prettyPETunia | |||

I'm extremely choosy. I spend a lot of time alone.

I'm insanely choosey and will probably spend the rest of my life alone.... [.. or maybe it will be because of that little 'problem' I have.] Love is when you kiss all the time. Then when you get tired of kissing, you still want to be together and you talk more. | |||

Perhaps it depends on whether you are trying to find a partner or a play partner. If you are trying to find you partner as in lover/companion/dom or domme all rolled into one package it is extemely difficult. Let's face it, trying to find a lasting relationship is tricky anyway, when you add the kink mix into the wish list it is extremely difficult. I have always assumed that the search for purely a play partner is much easier? I am intrigued as to if this is the case or not. For me at least the vanilla bit has to feel more or less right, the kinky elements have more scope for compromise and discussion.

Depends what kind of partner Bit of slap and tickle, a bit choosey Short Term, a bit more choosey Long Term Very choosey Why? Cos there is a lot of nutters out there “Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” | |||

Yup – that's about the height of it.
Much easier, yes. But ultimately empty and unsatisfying. For me, anyway.
I find, if the vanilla elements are in place, the rest is always doable – maybe I'm just too easy to please If the vanilla aspects are wrong, it's play. | |||

I was very, very choosy. And I knew *exactly* what I wanted. I was pretty sure that what I wanted couldn't be found in a fetish club circa 1992, so ... I wasn't even looking. Then, I met the man I would marry: practically an exact opposite of what I 'knew' I wanted, in a fetish club circa 1993. Happy days! "Style is the sum of all your defects." - Alan Bennett | |||

Everyone is my type till they prove me wrong MizzScarlett outlines the problem of having a preconceived list above. If you are check to see if they tick all the boxes chances are you'll miss the lovely things they actually have to offer Edited 18 Oct 11, 1:52 PM by Mr_Punch | |||

Im quite sure i wouldn't date a unhygienic, selfish, thieving murderer even if they did make a good roast dinner “Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.” | |||

I'll play with anyone, unless I take an instant dislike to them. At the start, who needs a list. Any one thing is enough for a play. Should things work out, start exploring together.
I get a steady stream of 'curious' girlies from vanilla sites. If they want to try bondage, who am I to deny them the chance? To be honest, very few have made the transition to fully fledged kinksters. I remain friends with all of them, even though some are just on my 'xmas card list'. Nothing wrong with that. You can never have enough friends. The search for a more permanant sub goes on!

^^ Problem with that is that lots of us need to have made more of a connection to want to do the play side of things. I'm loud and I'm vulgar, and I wear the pants in the house because somebody's got to, but I am not a monster. I'm not. |
