OfflineIn one of the posts that Bonita wrote 3 years ago she tells about the meeting with her girl friend whom she calls Actress (because that girl is employed as an actress).
Actress wanted to find a boyfriend. Almost desperately. And it triggered in Bonita the following line of thoughts which I found very interesting and want to share with you:
You CANNOT make a guy like you. However, you can make yourself a woman who deserves to be liked and loved, and you do this by acting as if you deserve nothing but the best.
Last night, when I was talking to my friend, I looked at her to say that at present, she’s willing to settle for ANYTHING that comes her way. Even though it doesn’t go up to her standard. That’s how much she wants to have a boyfriend. That’s how desperate she wishes to be in a relationship.
However, imagine that you meet someone like the Actress. And her mindset is that she is willing to take any Tom, -beep- and Harry in order to be with someone. It’s like a guy who comes up to me in a bar and slurringly make me an offer I’ve always refused. “Baby, you are just like any hole in this damn -beep- bar,” he’d tell me in more polite people-talk. “But hopefully, you’re the hole who would go home with me and -beep- my brains out.”
If that’s the case, do you think I’d do that? And if I did, then what sort of self-respect do I have left?
My men share something in common: they are picky.
So, this is the recipe from Bonita. Be picky!

OfflineWhile I tend to agree that being picky does seem to help and in my case I notice that I get questions about beautiful ex girlfriends who seem to automatically qualify me as not being an 'un-date-able' I also think it easily goes too far. I meet so many women who are just so damn sure they should never settle but are equally deluded about how 'worth it' they really are.
My pointer to people who are sure they would never need to 'settle' but are either always single or in short term interactions, is that you may not be as interesting or attractive as you think you are. Listening to your friends, male or female telling you how great you are is also a potential trap. They are most likely not taking an objective view and just want the best for you even if it is never going to happen. Not everyone is going to win Olympic gold and marry Brad Pitt, most people need to work out where their true limits are, and also learn to value people for their strengths rather than just stare at the perceived failings in others.
It's the same as my thought to people who complain to me that some girl/guy never calls back after the first night of -beep-. Perhaps you were rubbish in bed, after all, who would not go back for more if it was great?

OfflineI would agree but some women take it too far. There's a family friend we have. She thinks she's fantastic. She's only dated a few men in her entire life but broke up with them because they didn't live up to her standards. In fact, she just has a -beep- personality. Now she's 42 (Ultimate Sheng Nu Master) and no boyfriend. Now her once good looks have faded away. She used to be an 8 or so and now she's dropped down to a 5. But I'm sure she can find a man who appreciates her personality. Right? Riiiiigggghhht?

OfflineBonita doesn't lack in hubris, does she?
"My men share something in common: they are picky" – what, because they are with you?
And "my men?" — haha, if it's "men" at the same time, sounds like Bonita's not too picky…
I'd modify the title of this thread to: "women like men who they (the women) *think* are picky" (because it feeds the woman's ego). Actually, everyone, man or woman, would like to believe that not just anyone would do for the person they're with.

Offline*BAM* ZhuBaJie hits it on the head.
It's all about perception. Why do you think bars are such dimly little places with flashing lights, overly-loud music and alcohol?
Perception baby, perception!
Also, it's a sound financial model upon which to base a business on.
Girls need to give up thinking they deserve to be kept-mistresses and starting earning my dough.
Yeah!!!
