Are you too picky?

Have you ever gone on so many dates and ask yourself, why can’t I find the right man for me?  You start to wonder if there’s something wrong with you.  No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you.  I always tell my clients, it is okay to be selective but not too selective.  As we get older we should start to reduce our list of things we look for in a partner.  What I have noticed in the past is that people tend to get fixated on physical appearance.  Of course physical attraction is important but it should not be a deal breaker for a potential date. For example, say you only date athletic men that are 6 feet tall.  Ok that’s fine, you like tall men.  But what happens if you meet an amazing athletic guy but he’s only 5’8”?  You shouldn’t eliminate him solely because of his height.  If you set strict high standards then your pool of men will be limited.  At the end of the day, it’s your choice!

I have a male friend who only shows interest in beautiful women that look like models.  I hate to say it but he’s no male model or actor.  I had to break it to him that in order for a model to want to date him, he would have to be rich.  I’m not saying that every model only wants a rich man but let’s be realistic.  I have suggested women that I found attractive for him to date but they were not super model status.  He would shrug his shoulders and say “no thanks not my type”.  As a result, he remains single because his standards are too high. 

These are examples of traits that you should look for in a partner: intelligent, mature, compassionate, humorous, patient, kind, goal-oriented, financially stable, educated, and open-minded.

Now if you are physically active and are looking for a partner that is also physically active, then that’s perfectly fine.  If you know you like a person to have nice teeth, then that’s fine too. 
Just remember, no one is perfect and not everyone can look like a celebrity or model
You know what type of person you attract.  Allow the law of attraction to guide you to your mate.

TINDER

Lately, I’ve been hearing more and more about a dating phone app called Tinder.  So basically this app requires you to use your GPS location as well as connect to your Facebook account.  Tinder then sends you potential matches near you.  You then decide whether or not you like the person based on a swipe.  If you swipe to the left, it means you do not like them.  If you swipe to the right, you like them. If you both like each other then you get to message each other for free.  Yes that’s right, Tinder is free!
 
When I hear stories about Tinder, it’s usually about a one night stand.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that every person on there is looking for sex.  I remember back in the day when my girlfriends thought I was a weirdo for signing up for match.com.  Now it’s all about downloading a dating app on your phone. How times have changed!  I’ve seen people spend more than an hour on Tinder swiping on various types of men.  Really?  What happened to the days when you could go out to a bar or an event and meet people?  We’re so focused on technology that we as humans don’t communicate face to face. 
 
The first thing we notice when meeting a potential interest is whether or not we find the person physically attractive.  It makes sense why Tinder is so popular.  We all get excited when we see someone “hot” especially if they happen to right swipe you.  Ok so now you both start communicating, right?  What do you say?  Hey I like your photos, you’re sexy?
 
I would like for readers to tell me their experience in using Tinder.  Is it more for looking at eye candy?  Or have you genuinely met a nice person?
