Pride and Prejudice
Are your unrealistic demands and expectations preventing you from finding the right partner? Are you having difficulty overcoming the numerous pre-conceptions and sub-conscious prejudices, which we all seem to develop over time ? Are you willing to let your pride in demanding the perfect (in every way) partner, leave you remaining single, year after year?
Whilst we are not suggesting for one moment that you settle for someone you’re not compatible with or with whom you are not on the ‘right level’, we are suggesting that you take a careful look at the criteria which you have set in your mind and examine whether it’s really valid.
For instance, two of the most popular reasons our Members decline introductions with others are their smoking habits and their height, or lack of it! However, we have numerous instances where people had originally requested a non-smoker but after being informed the remainder of their Profile matched in every other way, went on to meet and develop long-term relationships without any problem.
In other cases, we hear of ladies in particular, who after several years of demanding a male partner be over 6 feet before they’d even consider meeting them (even though they themselves were considerably shorter than 6 feet!), finally relenting and going on to form successful relationships.
And if you’re seeking a non-smoking man who’s also over 6 feet tall, then clearly the maths will be against you - with almost 25% smokers and a very limited supply of tall men in the UK!
One of the benefits of working with a TopMatch Dating Consultant is that they get to know you personally (often better than you know yourself) and can sincerely help you identify what is really important for you to look for in a prospective partner and what you can safely consider overlooking.
Obviously, at the end of the day the choice is yours but often just a small compromise can be the key that unlocks the door to finding the ‘almost’ perfect partner!
Happy Dating!

This is very true. I smoke now and again, but I ought to stop. It might actually help to meet someone who could support me and help me quit--I know I have a lot more to offer : )

Height is one of the top reasons why people decline introductions?! That's awful. I'm a rather tall woman and some men are put off by that, but some of the most beautiful women in the world are tall. And for that matter, some of the most handsome men are short. Anyhow, why say no to meeting someone? Rigid ideals can mean missing out on a lot!
