    Nope. In fact, I know better what I want in a woman than I did when I was growing up or a younger adult. If nothing else, my standards got a little more stricter as I get older.

    This is not to say that I am unrealistic in my search for Ms. Right. I do not seek Ms. Perfect. Just someone perfect for me that will make me happy.

    Experience usually makes people more selective and discriminating. If I had problems with certain kind of women and success with another kind, then I will avoid the first and go for the second.

    Usually younger people have lower standards because they go for good-looks and forget about the rest.

    As you get older your standards should get HIGHER because you know better what you like in a person and you realize more that life is too important and short to "settle for less."

    No, I raised my standards. After many years of playing for sex I wanted more.

    Never lower your standards.

    Is this true for you?:

    Lucky in cards, unlucky in love.

    Call some buddies and play poker.
