I see a lot of posts around about wanting an 'open minded' individual.
So to me, open minded means one of two things.
Either there is something that is typically off-putting about you and you want someone 'open minded' that will accept you with your strangeness, or at least give you the time of day so they can maybe see beyond it
or
You want some non-traditional sex or something and think that 'open minded' means kinky.
anyone else have any ideas what open minded really means?

I have that in my profile as I have had women in the past get upset that I was "too heavy",or "too old", "the wrong color of hair", "had too much facial hair." It just seemed to me that some of the past women I have dated were very particular about wanting a certain "look." Sorry I do not have a certain look about me. I am who I am (no, not Popeye). That is why I have open-minded in my profile. Hoping to find a woman who hasn't closed her mind to dating a big, nice, sweet guy, who also has a quirky humor. (Think British comedies like; Coupling, Monty Python's Flying Circus, George Carlin's "A Place for My Stuff." To name a few comedy styles I enjoy.)

I see why you would put that bigguy, but you shouldnt have to.
My ideal woman? haha, I have no idea. I have met some very sweet women in my day and they rarely fit what I would put on a list for a perfect woman but they are great anyway.
I'm sure that on paper I might not seem like a great catch (30, 125#, 5'11", has kid) but I think I'm worth the time. The most beautiful woman I know so far in my life is 5'6" and would be considered a 'plus some' girl with a cute face but now that I know her I see how great she is. She happens to be just a really great friend to me and I think her husband is a very lucky guy but she isnt a girl you would just lust after seeing her in the grocery store.
I guess what I am saying is that everyone should go out in the world looking for someone without any pre-conceived junk. The best match for you might not even make your list. Saying that you want someone open minded *sounds* like you are not happy with yourself or you have some shame (even if you dont)

My personal take? Open minded would mean non judgemental. If you like guys/girls with black hair, who's to say Mr or Mrs right isn't a blonde or red head. It's not only in the bedroom. It's everything. The last date I went on I took the woman out for sushi. She had never had it before, but was open to the experience. Be willing to try something new, that's open minded.

I think opened minded means that they are willing to try something new that they haven't tried before, be it skiing for the first time, or eating sushi. I don't think that people intentionally mean it in a sexual way. It means something different for everyone that says it. A way to describe yourself when you don't put alot of thought into describing yourself, like "out going", or "down to earth". Its just expected by everyone to know what it means. lol

Hi everyone ti me most people that want a open minded person r looking for one thing. Truthfully we all probabbley want the one thing but cime on people yea we want it but sex is not always the answer. I say get to know each other and your families see where that leads you first
