West brought up the idea of starting a Must Have / Can't Stand thread, but she was scurrying to get out of town.


Here are some things I think about as I'm making up my list:


Pride
To me, it's critical that I'm proud of my spouse.

I don't think my Must Have/Can't Stand lists vary too much from what is already posted (is that the lazy way out of typing it all myself or what?!? lol) ;-) But I just find it frustrating that SOOO many of the true Must Haves are not things you can click on in an OLD profile and find. So many of the "clickable" checklists there- are just Nice-To-Haves or not even significant things.


And of course- you can't post in OLD a list of the Can't Stands or you come across negative/cynical in those opening paragraphs. Besides- I think many people online, would just ignore those anyway. As proven by how many smokers have contacted me even when I have "Non-smoker only" checked on my wants.


Finding the right person for you... is just SUCH a tough journey.
