At breakfast today, a group of us over 50 were discussing
the type of person
we are dating and why.
The results surprised me:

1. The type of person one dates when dating for fun
is almost diametrically different from the type one would date
when looking to mate.

Fun daters are looking for excitement,
exploration, differences, and variety.

Maters are looking for
commonalities, stability, centeredness, and monogamy.

2. Within our group, most were looking for fun rather than a mate.
Fun was equated with freedom. Mating was equated with responsibility.

So, I'm wondering what other peoples experience/preferences might be.
