One Size Does Not Fit All

How many times have you heard this on EP? I'll only talk to men 40 and up and girls of all ages? Or maybe you've read somewhere about someone wanting to talk to people only between the ages of 25 and 37. Maybe you've gotten the sale pitch on wanting to talk only to black or Arab or Caucasian men or perhaps strictly Jews. I can't say I admire those who try to come up with a one size fits all formula for dealing with the general public. Because while you have to right to want to talk and to talk to certain people, you're inadvertently pulling off quite the magic trick. I didn't know you could fit your entire head that far up your own arse. I tried it myself and it didn't work. I've come across people of various ages, religions and races on EP. The hypothesis of a one size fits all approach is greatly flawed. Plus you miss out on a lot of potentially amazing people. Now am I saying you shouldn't have standards? Far from it but make your standards a bit more reasonable. I mean saying you won't talk to anyone of a different color is beyond stupid, trying to weed out immature folk via age will make you feel like a dumbass when someone 50+ demonstrates ignorance 101 and shows their whole arse even as you're left scratching wondering how they slipped past your safeguards. You have to take people one at a time, you can't group classify anyone because there's no general mold. We are all a product of our experiences, upbringing and of our families whether we like it or not so what's the point of splitting hairs? Judge not lest ye be judged . . .
