[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The single most attractive thing a woman can do to improve her success with men is look more attractive.[/quote]

Sadly, this is true.  I am pretty crazy and demanding with a short temper, but I am very slim, tall, and men tell me I am beautiful.  I was off the market in my mid-20s and I cannot explain it as anything except looks.  Many of my saner, nicer, but heavier/less attractive girlfriends who are every bit as accomplished as me are still single and looking.[/quote]

My husband dated a succession of women who were thin, hot and nuts. He married me because I have, as he puts it, "a good head on my shoulders." I'm pretty but not thin. I think he was just tired of drama. [/quote]

Good catch for him then!

I've got a good friend, he has his own issues and depression, so he's nuts. And he dates women he meets online, OkCupid and the like. And the parade of women he's dated since college (11 years) have all been crazy too.

Maybe Watching from the outside it seems that:
1- it's hard to meet people outside of work after college - the world is not as social as it used to be
2- because it's not as social, people become more self-obsessed/narcisistic
3- that doesn't help them meet people and form relationships that function to both's benefit
4- the people that remain unmatched are the least emotionally stable - social Darwinism

In his case he wants to be with a 'manic pixie dream girl', basically a TV/movie character that doesn't exist in real life - and even if she did exist, by her very nature, she could not maintain a relationship. By seeking this out he completes the cycle over and over and over again, making himself more broken and less matchable on each iteration...it's frightening to know he's not alone...and if I ever were single, I'd never make it in such a vicious dating scene[/quote]
