Re: As you get older
Hmmm…did you read my entire response at all?
Okay, just in case you didnt understand:
Standards are particular to each individual but when you’re younger, you have expectations of a handsome and educated knight in shining armour. The expectation of someone being handsome can be satisfied with a picture. The education with the verification of a degree. These are things you can see, touch and feel. Going back to my original point of finding someone who is decent looking and educated being not hard.
When you become picky, its usually about things less tangible. Like honesty, sense of humor, wit, religion, manners, tact, etc etc etc. This is much harder to verify in someone because that requires getting to know them on a personal level and arranged marriages dont work that way for most people.
