I try  to have a genuine character, yet it is so difficult to find others with same values?

It all goes to say how the devil really does have his demons on the earth. My personal opinion is that it is much easier for people to live this kind of life you find repulsive, but for people like you and me- we are smarter than them. We see through all kinds of different things that really matter. For example TV- it's the biggest waste of time there could be, but people love it, are drawn to it. Most Americans watch TV all day long- our society is senseless causing the people in it to be as well. We are just like the hollywood stars without all the money- but people are drawn to them like they are so much better. It's all ridiculous and I think satan loves it! God wants us to be with and around other believers and until we do that exclusively~ we aren't going to find people like us. And if we do outside of "church" then it won't work someway eventually in the end with the friendship. I don't feel that you have unrealistic expectations with what should be, but if you believe already in God then what are you waiting for- but even in church there are the worst people there so it's all crazy out there and you have to trust and know what you feel in your heart.

The right person is out there for everyone...\nSometimes it takes time to find them...\nYou have to be patient...\nTry out some others along the way so you don't cut yourself off from society, and finding the right one can only be found by looking and experimenting with others...\nJust do a little "fishing" in the people pool for a while and your special "fish" may well swim up to you...

You may need to look at why you don't. But that could be complicated.\n\nRemind yourself everyday when you wake up and when you go to bed: I am part of the Creator, I am equal to everyone, I am powerful, I am loved, I am respected, I am outgoing, I am helpful.    Whatever qualities you want to bring out. You will become what you say you are. It is inevitable.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.  BUT! You need to find yourself and be yourself.  It's OK to take things from others, but you need to find your own personality.

Those things you've stated don't explain the type of person you are on the inside, your personilty, or how you treat others.  Take a moment and try to see yourself as others may see you.  Is there something intimidating about your character, the way you carry yourself, etc.?  I'm not sure what type of significant other you are trying to attract but it could have something to do with who you approach as well.  If you are drawn to people who have low self esteem and no motivation, you could naturally seem intimidating b/c of your status and success.  From the surface alone, you seem like a good catch.  Good Luck!

if you have bitter experiences with most people u meet,the problem is with ur own character and behaviour\nyou may be teasing someone.......not giving respect.....\ndo have patience to hear others words and after thier turn only answer them and answer in a pleasing way too\nFIRST CHECK IF YOU ARE GIVING OTHERS WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM THEM!!!!

Everyone looks for something different. You'll find some people will be more shallow than others and some will appreciate you for who you are; that's just the way it is, not everyone likes the same thing, it all depends on what the kind of person you're looking for values.

Try not to be phony.\n\nFind other people likeable, and if you don't find someone likeable find something about him or her that is.\n\nBe thoughtful, friendly and nice.  If you think of something a little funny say it, and make someone laugh once in a while.\n\nBeing likeable involves not being nasty, mean, crummy, selfish, cruel, etc.  It isn't so much adding something to someone's personality.  It is making sure the negative stuff isn't there - and if it happens to be then you have to hide it.  Even if you try to hide the nasty stuff, though, people sense it.\n\nGenerally, most people who have "decent hearts" are likeable.  People just need to be themselves and make a little extra effort once in a while.

Do I think they can find one? Oh definitely....there are so many sincere, real, honest people out there that are giving. Just look at this site!\n\nIs it easy? It's the most difficult thing in the world. You can so easily feel you have the best friend in the world, and in an instant realize they aren't what you thought or perhaps what you "imagined." A difficult part is interpretation of type. We all read what we want to read, and often time the intended meaning may be completely different. Many times it is not that the person on the other side was not being a good friend, it is that we just interpreted actions and words to be something different. \n\nSo keep an open mind.......keep a grounded soul. Be cautious, but curteous........just be you! And you'll be amazed at how you find that friend.

Maybe you should join different groups that other people are in that have the same goals as you.\n\nI always look at what a person has on the inside not just the way they are on the outside.\n\nGood luck!

Hmmmmmm, here I go being Shallow Hal again, but I can't help being truthful. There first has to be some sort of attraction in the physical sense, and for most of us that means different attributes. After the initial attraction, I listen to them speak and watch how they treat other people. I look for people who are intelligent, but not arrogant or bossy. I like confident women, but not mean spirited or waspish ones. People who show respect for others without being wishy washy or kissing ass also get high grades from me. Most of all I look for people who are confident enough with themselves that they realize they don't have to try and change or "improve" others around them. That, to me is a manifestation of great inner insecurity and a lack of sensitivity and respect for others.

Because your looking in the wrong places. Stop looking for the right person and start looking at yourself. Live by the rules of the heart. Love thy self first before you can offer to others. Once you feel comfortable about yourself and stop looking to fill that void...the right person will come into your life. Sometimes if not more often its the person in front of you that is right.

Good to know I am not the only gullible, trusting, honest person out here.  I wouldn't want to change to be more like them as I sleep better at night knowing I did not try to screw someone out of their self worth.  Also, it will catch up with them in the end, as they will want happiness, but it will not come.  Being like WE are also makes me strong in my convictions, which people like THEM are not.  We can stand for what we want, love, believe in, hate, etc.  They live a lie all the time, they are what everyone wants them to be.  It would suck to be that way to me, as being myself makes me so much more independent.

I know I am not always that realistic about my self image. I do believe that when we are on our own though, we really do know whether were full of it or good or bad looking etc. If you know deep down that you are a good person (only you really knows) then continue on as usual. Otherwise if you want, try to change a little. I have some friends that we agree to disagree. In other words, we realize there is no compromise but we want to remain friends.
