So I was chatting with a nice gentleman and we got on the topic about how some people are not comfortable with themselves..... here's what I said
imperfections -- oh yeah, we all got those...
I'm just comfortable with who I am.. I'm not perfect... this is me.
Maybe that's the difference with me... I accept the person as a whole
love them as they are... whatever their looks, height, income, background, family history ...
I don't judge because I don't want to be judged either,
I want to be accepted for who I am and I give people the same courtesy.

You go girl! I agree whole heartedly.... 
Until you have walked a mile in my moccasins (need I say more???)
Kudos for you!

I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with me on the subject of so called judgement. But, then again I don't think judgement is right at all, I think that in the case of love two people should and I'd say do expect more out of their partner than what they start with. It is quite possible that thinking that is very unrealistic and unreasonable but if you actually plan on being with someone forever you must expect something more from that person. Growth must be in your plans (say if you get married) and so change is expected. I think being able to talk with your partner and discuss where your relationship is going is healthy and makes sense. If you are in a set relationship, meaning you've planned before hand as far as you will go then I'd still suggest communication discerning your agreement, its the biggest problem in any relationship especially the newer ones.

That's how I think, what you got is what you got. Lot's of people want a better face, better body, or bigger..whatever.
But all you can do is be ok with what you have, and if someone else doesn't love it then it shouldn't matter.

Good for you Dianne. I made definate changes in my life today towards having people accept me just as I am too.
I think you are an awesome person who knows who she is in life and what she wants and I defy anyone to interfere with that. Hugs Kimmie.

We complicate life....when we cannot see people, as people.
When someone feels that they have no imperfections, psychology tells us, they showcase one of the most blatant imperfections of all.
Self-awareness is probably one of the greatest gifts we can give ourself. To know who you are, what you are seeking, and to not allow others to manipulate you to attempt to be someone you are not...can be one of the most rewarding moments in your life.
All of us, no, let me change that....most of us can form an opinion. But, I can never judge what kind of person another person is....unless I am willing to accept our differences and recognize our similarities.
This just MY opinion. Not bashing other's beliefs nor trashing other's ideals. 
Thought-provoking blog and worthy of a kudo  . Thanks FMHT....

You are so right. I keep saying I don't want a perfect man, I want an imperfect man, because I'm very flawed and I don't want someone who needs me to be perfect. I want someone who loves me as I am, flaws and all.
From my experience, those that judge usually have something they want to hide, an insecurity and it's easier to direct attention elsewhere than deal with those issues. JMHO

I've always been honest - both with myself and those around me. As I get older I just find a peace of mind in that honesty. I'm 6'2". I can't hide it. I'm not a "prize horse" by any means, but there's ambiance in that honesty.
Heh.
Every time there's a group of people who ask this question,
What are you looking for in a woman/relationship ?
I offer up the same answer.
........A woman who knows how to just be.
There are people I've said that to years ago, and they're still trying to figure out what I mean.
