Question about certain women that i've met (pref if women answer this)?

A handful of women that i have met talk about finding the man of their dreams and such but pass up the guy that would basically fit that description excluding looks, and go for the guy that fits the looks but nothing else? No this hasn't happened to me (yet, im sure it will) but i been trying to figure out why those individuals did that.

    Women tend to fall for jerks. I know I did, because I married one. I look back now and wonder how many of the 'good guy' I must have missed. Not all, but some women are vain and looks take top priority when choosing a guy.

    When going through my divorce, I met the man of my dreams. To the world he isn't the most handsome face, but to me he is an Adonis. Some of us do wish up and look for the good guys. :)

    Many people don't know what they have until it's gone. This is what all genders struggle with. My guy friends are always complaining about being friendzoned, but meanwhile, they keep turning down all of these girls because they aren't pretty enough. My girl friends are always moaning about finding the a guy who will laugh with her and respect her feelings, but if he comes not dressed in shining armor, they will reject him.

    The problem is, everyone's expectations are too high. No one can be perfect.

    The other conflict is that no one notices that their expectations are too high, so there they are thinking that no one likes them, but meanwhile, they themselves are rejecting people because they aren't attractive enough. Everyone does this. Every single gender. It's really annoying, but even though people say they care about personality more than looks, the shallow ones would rather have an attractive person.

    Those certain women you talk about must not have very much experience in the relationship department. Cause I was with an attractive person for years and was miserable because we didn't have a soul connection. Now I'm with my man because we have that soul connection I was missing. Never been happier. He doesn't have looks a job or stability plus my ex sent him to jail cause we were seeing eachother ( yes even hot guys are psycho) but the connection I have with him is beautiful. Basically those women mistake an actual soul connection for a attractive attraction and eventually Im sure they will learn

    I would say that generally means that they don't really know what they want. Often people (male and female) particularly early in their dating years, get confused about what they want and which traits are more important.

    Often people wind up in the end with someone who doesn't match their declared dream partner anyway as they are surprised to find themselves attracted to someone with qualities they didn't think mattered.

    The thing about rejection is that it doesn't mean something is necessarily wrong with the person being rejected - it just means that those two people are not a good match and both should look elsewhere.

    You don't want someone to be with you just because they didn't want to be mean and reject you do you?

    I don't want to generalize but what the heck. Women tend to say one thing and do something else. They let their emotions lead their actions. Have you heard the saying " Follow your heart"?

    Instinctively we go for looks because they prove best for reproduction. It doesn't mean people go around thinking "I want to reproduce with that person" we as animals want to continue our blood lines and have children
