| I don't put myself into a tier. I'm not meat that can be graded. Word. Not a Tier, not a grade, not a group, not a level. Not that I even fit in any of those mentioned anyway. 19 year old women aren't much different. You mentioned dating rather than hookups in your marketplace title. Hookup falls u... |

| I haven't had any trouble making eye contact. Actually I've probably done the opposite It should be noted though, that I do have a vision impairment, if I don't really look at something, there's a chance I'm not going to see it. And even when I'm directly looking at something, it's 'moving'. So from... |

| The really religious ones tend to irritate me. There are some of the religious ones that are okay, just not my thing. I do like being able to hear Christmas music when shopping and when close to the actual date. Bloody hell I don't want to hear it before Thanksgiving. It can get boring and repetitiv... |

| Finding someone that is specific to a field is a bit difficult, especially right now. Many therapists are kind of bogged down right now. They typically have a better idea about what their client load is once the new year is underway. So don't get discouraged, you may just have to wait a bit for more... |

| Everyone has their own preference. This. What is seen as attractive tends to be what is perpetuated in media/entertainment (and before that was widely prevalent it was whatever the rich people were doing). Most of which standards are and have always been pretty unrealistic. For this reason and the ... |

| It's pretty much just a means of diagnosing, and something for females;in particular; to look at if they are questioning whether they might have Aspergers. It is nothing for you to worry about. The original profile/diagnostic material for Aspergers was based on how it presented/showed in male exampl... |

| You missed an option: No, most women don't care about height. Both of your options imply thinking women generally care about height. I agree I do think some of it depends on where you are in the world and what the 'beauty' standard is there. Generally speaking, in terms of the US anyway, I would sa... |

| I'll back up that what badrobot is saying is largely true and isn't just pulling it out thin air. If I were to add something, it's that once you are giving yourself the self care that is needed, active work at trying to change thought patterns is another essential piece to 'feeling better'.

| No It can serve as a good base though. Like whether or not you have a basic attraction but not much beyond that. Because there are just too many possible variables. The first and biggest reason you can't putt too much stock in them though, is because of editing and filters. The other is due to stagi... |
