There are tons of good men out there, but for those of us with certain criteria, it's tough finding a good man who fits our tastes.

For instance, I like smart men, but I also like men who are in shape. I'd be settling if I chose a gorgeous hunk with the brains of pudding, or a genius, well-spoken guy who didn't care about his physical well-being.

This is a fight-thread waiting to happen. I'm gonna grab a drink really quick and watch this one develop....

Heck, I'll even throw the first punch:

There's a lot of good guys out there, drop your ridiculous lists of standards and just accept that you're not a beauty queen and you don't deserve a rich brad pitt genius!

Yep, this thread is going to be interesting...also on the same token, all you buff 6 pack guys with nothing to offer since you don't know how to be human, don't think you're getting or deserve an Angelina Jolie look alike..

Let the fighting begin....

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the buff 6-pack guys are going to *temporarily* get lots of Angelina Jolie look alikes. Everyone knows that looks are important to men when searching for a woman, but what no one seems to admit is that looks are every bit as important to the woman searching for a man. The only difference is that the man with the hot woman will try to make things last, and the woman with the hot man will eventually move on to the next hot man.

No room in this world for us mediocre-looking guys.

I say no. I think good people in general can be hard to find.

Nah, you just got a find a good girl, who is attractive but isn't FLASHY with it (i.e. doesn't wear a lot of makeup, dress up all the time, wear revealing clothing).

Find women who have similar values, and as you get to know them and appreciate who they are, you'll find yourself viewing them in a new light that actually makes them more physically attractive to you.

My girl is pretty in my eyes, but she doesn't dress up a lot day to day so she doesn't get randomly hit on ALL THE TIME like other girls who are maybe slightly less attractive than her but are more revealing and dressed up. But when we do go out and she dresses up? Look out....I'm floored every time.

Yay for a combination of these two things! It took me all college and 2 years afterward to find someone like this, and I was never into the real outwardly attractive-types to begin with. Needless to say I'll be hanging on to this one.

She usually doesn't really dress up all that often, but every time I look into her eyes I melt.
