Psychologists reckon we decide within the first five minutes of meeting someone if we are going to like them. For me it can be somewhat shorter than 5 minutes.

I think there is a fine line between being picky and being downright unrealistic though Laughing

I must be an exception then. It often takes people longer then five minutes to make their minds up about me, and I can never make my mind up about some people



Supposedly it is an unconscious process, in which case, you would not be aware of it consciously as such. But this is just pop psychology jeg

Do you think the net makes people unrealistice about the people they can attract?

I've met a lot of people off the net, and often the people they can and do attract in real life differs from what some can attract on the net.

Maybe the attention some women get on the net because of three men to every women gives some women unrealistic.

Also some men who get a lot of attention on the net because of their persona, are maybe a bit more picky on the net then they should be?


Should be? should be based upon what? who says there is a should be, could be or would be? People attract who they attract, there is no point getting hung up about it. Just be happy in the knowledge that if you believe that someone is not all they seem, then they will get caught out eventually.

I wonder how many people that say they are 'picky' on the net, are as 'picky' in real life??

I think most people are too picky on the net and should meet more people. I think options should be kept open on the net.


no disrespect to you but you also seem quite picky on the net (don't know you in real life in order to compare that too) and wonder if you ever feel that way about yourself?
