I am definitely becoming less tolerant as I grow older - I wouldn't call it picky - I just know my own limits and what I will and should put up with. It doesn't even necessarily have to do with finding a partner but how we deal with our day to day living. Manners for one seem to be a thing of the past with emails and texting. It's all in perspective and I guess today's musings are due to sitting with a bunch of young teenagers on the bus. I'm so glad to be in Canada where we enjoy so much freedom and sure it's cold but nothing compared to the world events. No matter what goes on around me , I am lucky to have family/friends and a home to go to and enjoy my own choices.
What will you put up with??

I am going to have to agree...as I get older I take less crap from people...I know what i want and I refuse to surround myself with people incapable of meeting my expectations...It sounds like I've become jaded but I haven't..I have more love to give than ever before and possibly am a better person than I was when I was younger as well. I've just defined what it is that makes me happy now! And really want to be around people that enjoy life and have a positive outlook. Game playing is for people who don't really know what they want or need to be happy!

Hi Smoosh,

What a great question !

I agree, as I get older I don't tolerate the games that many want to play. I shake my head and walk away.

As for what I'll put up with,

respect of myself and others

Trust, of myself and others when they are worthy.

Honesty from me to anyone in my life.

A positive attitude about the all things in life, especially the bumps that teach us lessons.

A simple smile even on a bad day.

A sigh when things are getting too tough.

A walk when there a fuming anger to get over.

Above all, self love.

Thanks, great question !
