Hang Up the Hang-ups

So many of us have hang-ups regarding: race, nationality, ethnicity, religion, pretty, handsome, ugly, education, job, possessions, house, car, health, virility, location, region, state, long hair, short hair, no hair, hair color, eye color, big boobs, little boobs, no boobs, legs, too fat, too thin, too short, too tall, too rich, too poor, too young, too old, and on, and on we go... "But wait!" you say: "Those are not hang-ups, they are PREFERENCES." I say: "Okay, I'll accept that." They are preferences -- but are you willing to look at your preferences and see if maybe, you are screening out possibilities for superficial reasons? Mr. or Ms. Right may be, among those you're screening out.

 They are 'preferences', lol, but yeah, we need to identify the 'must-haves' and weed out the 'doesn't-really-matters'. Let's see what men say...

 I agree with you. Too many times we are looking at the external and neglecting to see what is the most important.

I want a man with substance. I want someone that makes me laugh...someone that I could talk with....someone that I could share my every thought with, someone that I enjoy doing the things that we both enjoy. So to the outer appearance is just a shell.

 What is a hangup to one is a preference to another. I can't imagine a relationship with a smoker. Is that a hangup I should re-examine? What about heavy drinking or drug use? How about age? I prefer women around my own age, is that a hangup?

 Yes, they may seem superficial, but we all have our preferences for unknown reasons...what is this thing called chemistry anyway? But I will continue to be selective from just "looking" at pictures, because I can tell a lot from faces...and I know my "Mr. Right" will have a certain look...That is why the more pictures a person posts the better, especially doing things they love or showing surrounding and other life clues. I have met enough men and had enough first dates that I know I must be more selective....so I don't really think it is a bad thing...we are all different and looking for different things. It doesn't make us shallow or superficial.
