[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Because women especially are told not to be "shallow" and will be alone forever if they are "too picky[/b]."

I would have rather been alone, so I was mostly single until I met my husband, but most of my friends who were always in relationships dated guys they weren't attracted to to "give him a chance" and see if they "became attracted due to his personality." Never worked out.[/quote]

I am not doubting but sincerely curious: who is giving that advice. I would never tell my daughter that so want to know where that message comes from.[/quote]

A few posts back, someone said that because most women are only attracted to the top 20% of men, women should settle.

My whole life, if I wasn’t interested in a guy because I wasn’t attracted, I’d hear tons of “poor guy!” and “but he’s SUCH a good guy!”

Yep.  I've NEVER heard a man be told the same about a woman.  "Sure she's ugly and terrible, but she's SUCH a good person!  Give her a chance!"  Never, ever heard that.[/quote]

[b]It's more common than you think during the HS/college years.[/b]

So true. +1 My son asked a girl to be his date for their senior banquet. She is a lovely, smart girl, but they're really physically mismatched. That's all I'll say. He has a lot of friends that are girls, so senior girls did most of the social engineering to guarantee their best friends would be included in "their" group.

He's always been kind to a fault, non discriminatory, and generous. I really admire him. [/quote]
