Why settle for mediocrity?
if they do nothing for me physically then with the best will in the world it's not going to go anywhere.

I go more for the profile
besides, I can't be as picky as you

Why not?
there's nothing worse than being in a 'meh' relationship.

So we've got a (hopeful) PhD student
Someone at Oxford and someone who lectures, all being single.

Oh don't mean go for 'meh'
I mean I can't necessarily go for 'super hot' - Those guys are rarely after overweight divorcee larpers

Maybe you'll go out, realise you aren't right for each other in 'that' way.
But make a friend. A friend who might have friends you do fancy?

Possibly
but it all sounds like hassle, time and money I don't have.

Using the Prada/Primark analogy above
I'm not settling for less than All Saints*. This is why I'll be single forever


*In the sense of slightly quirky and just right for me, not necessarily in terms of looks

Have I shown you the item of clothing that costs more than my degree and maintenance loans for the whole thing?

You'll be snapped up in no time.

probably not
but as berk points out above, why settle for a meh relationship
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Mon 31 Jan 2011, 23:37, Reply)

I would settle for one.
My most successful one was mostly meh. It was comfortable and what I needed. Strong feelings just end in disaster.

It doesn't make sense to me
either have a bit of a fun thing or be with someone you can see making it work with. Don't just settle for someone because there's nobody else around at the minute. And Amberl, you would and can get plenty of interest, if only you had a bit more confidence.

I'm beginning to think it's me
and not my looks. *Shock horror*
