He has a right to standards but that's fair enough, I mean I have standards, everyone does. I want someone who eats healthy, goes to the gym 4 times a week and spends a fair amount of effort taking care of themselves like I do but if he is just sitting about and getting fat, he needs to realize he should make some effort before a girl does.
there isn't any reason to look down on people who make different choices from you, though. it makes sense to choose a person based on your own lifestyle, but the people who make those choices are not better or worse than other people. they just have different priorities.
I never stated that they were lesser people, I just said someone with similar priorities and lifestyle would be better? I eat organic foods and take care of myself, I want someone similar to me, that's not too much to ask. I'm not asking them to lift weights like I do but just stay in reasonably good shape and eat the same food.
that's good. it makes sense to seek out people who have similar priorities.

I mean personally I wouldn't date a smoker, someone who has fast food or takeaways or someone who doesn't do cardiovascular activity on a regular basis. I don't have anything against people that make those choices but I know it wouldn't be compatible for me.

Yeah, I hate it when hot girls reproduce, but that's becuase I actually hate it when all people reproduce.
So I'm not alone in having no concerns regarding the decreasing birthrate in the Western world? Yay!

It's the birthrate of other nations (then immigrating) that has me worried... typical Americans aren't breeding fast enough to maintain their own population numbers - some other groups are trying to breed like mad in order to seize control by sheer numbers.
It needs to be quelled - by the time they reach their goal via breeding, the planet will have too many humans - even if they do slit the throats of the "non", there'll still be ~10 billion of them left to try and feed themselves.

I dunno. The Malthusians have been saying that for centuries and nature always establishes a sustainable equilibrium in the long run. American families in the 1940's bred like rabbits, and now it's on decline since such large families are now neither sustainable (expensive to maintain, and women are now much more professionally ambitious so stay at home parents are in shorter supply) nor preferable (less attention per child).
Honestly though, I see a general shift in dating culture away from the traditional "marry, settle down, and pop out some kids" model. I suspect the number of childless long-term relationships will increase as both partners join to benefit each other while pushing each other further up their respective career hierarchies. And I must say I would be glad to see this shift come into fruition.
