ORIGINAL: xoxi Isn't that what we all really want though? I mean most people don't go around saying "I want someone who is good enough for me and is worthy of my attention" but come on now. Besides compatibility that's probably the second most important thing on anyone's checklist. Think of all the reasons that people turn someone down. Too fat, too thin, too tall, too short, not ambitious enough, no job, addicted to cigarettes, drinks too much, obnoxious voice, bad teeth, acne, dandruff...whatever it is, aside from just incompatibility, is really a matter of "I want someone better than that." We all want someone who is 'good enough' for us. Someone who is as loyal as we are, as family oriented as we are, as ambitious as we are, as attractive as we are. Someone who we see as worthy of our affection. Yeah it's really tacky that these guys come out and say it...some things are better left unspoken. But maybe that just means they value honesty over tact. Some people actually like that. It's not that it seems tacky to me; it's that it makes no sense at all, without elaborating. If there was an expansion on the comment, ie, what *worthy* meant, to them, it'd be useful. It's nonsensical without any reference to their notion of *worthy*. agirl
