Should You Aim Higher Or Lower When Dating Online?
Tuesday, July 15th, 2008It’s been an age old problem for people in the UK dating game – should they aim to get someone they think is above them in terms of desirability or below them? It began back in the 18th and 19th Centuries when the gentry would gasp if a woman married below her own status and title, but not if a man did the same (because of course men could do what they liked)! It still applies today but is considered in another way – in terms of looks and intelligence.
I see UK dating discussions about this all the time and nothing anyone says will probably ever change the way we view the world because it’s ingrained, but believe me when I say that there’s no such thing as aiming higher or lower today. Love doesn’t discriminate against anyone on the UK dating scene. You can’t help whom you fall in love with. That person may be gorgeous and intelligent, or her/she may be neither. Either way, you’d have a spark.
In truth, we’re all equal and anyone discriminating against another because of looks or intelligence is just plain wrong and nobody should go into the UK dating scene thinking like that. If you do then the likelihood is that you’ll end up completely disappointed. Keep an open mind and you might just meet the man or woman of your dreams.
