    Re: So, are my requirements too hard/high?

    Just my two cents. Don't look for a girl that's into reptiles and gaming, just one that's ok with you doing both. Most girls I know don't like either

    Personally, my wife isn't into most of my hobbies, but she respects them, and we enjoy each others company.

    Good luck, hope you meet someone perfect for you.

    Well that's what I mean, not that they have to be into it but okay with it or rather not mind that it's my hobbies.

    Thanks for the luck

    Eh personally (just my 2 cents), I wouldnt revolve your matchmaking around those hobbies at all.

    I'd be looking for qualities like empathy, critical thinking, and intelligence (hawtness is a + too but not at the expense of the first 3 qualities).

    Find a girl with those qualities and it really won't matter what hobbies your into, she will find things about them that she likes.

    Well I already cleared that up that she doesn't have to be into my hobbies, just doesn't mind them. On that I will not budge because if she doesn't like either of them and wants me to ditch one then she will have to go. So I guess more or less somebody who's okay with the hobbies and anything after that is just a bonus.

    LOL I'm not a gamer, my husband is. I have plenty of other pursuits to follow while he plays, and he doesn't ride horses.

    We're both shooters too, that was non-negotiable.

    The reptile bit didn't happen until after our daughter came along. The hubby was ok with it, I had to be talked into it and now I'm worse than he is.

    I say set no requirements. When I met my wife she hated snake and me playing games (9 years ago). Now she probly does more work with my snakes than I do and plays games right beside me LOL As long as you can have fun with someone all the other stuff seems to fall into place.

    You've listed interests not quality's of a person. My wife wants nothing to do with the snakes, my guns, or fast cars. However we do have other things in common that give us a common ground to talk and support each other in. Saying that you want a girl who likes reptiles, gaming, and is attractive to you..but attractive to you is a braud term.

    I'm sure you can find a girl that likes reptiles at a reptile expo.

    I happen to be very into PC gaming and reptiles, but I know other girls who are the same way and all have very different personalities. Look for qualities you like in a person and go from there. Don't make it about just a list of hobbies. You might have those in common but be totally opposed in other ways.
