Why are you so obsessed with people not giving up? What's so bad about it? How does it effect your life? It's like I said before no one has ever died from not having a SO. I've never expected people to put in so much effort to please me, so why should I put in so much effort to please them? I've done it before and no one seemed to care. If others want to continue to date and be in relationships than I'm happy for them. But I'm not doing it and that's that. People are free to do as they like and if they want to give up they have the right to do so.
no one has died from not being in a relationship..you are right..but their lives may not have been very fulfilling, you do need a job to survive...but somehow I doubt that on your deathbed you will be thinking back about how great your career was...no..you will probably be either happy about the relationships (SO/parents/children/friends) you had while here or have regrets regarding them.
To me at least, those who give-up show a lack of character, do you give up on everything or just this particular arena? If you sincerely do not want to be with someone for the rest of your life then OK..but if you DO, but don't want to be hurt then frankly...your a coward and someone who gives up, not exactly great character traits..I don't direct this at you, but anyone here that just gives up...other people are presented with wayyyy more rejection and failure than you, yet they keep going..
As far as the topic goes, it should be common knowledge that being hot or beautiful alone doesn't make someone a great catch. But a lot of us men deserve a great deal of the blame because some of us are so shallow that it's all we care about. The type of guys who consider these shrews for serious relationships are usually

This is exactly the point I was making to Chi the other day. I even used the job scenarios.
Quitters are quitters in my book. There is no distinction to me. Probably is part of their dating problem to begin with. Weak-willed, soft-skinned and easily beaten down. Not ideal characteristics for a mate in my book.

Yes, back to the OP, I agree with you, it's no big revelation that looks don't necessarily equal great catch.

If I really was "weak willed" I would probably be caving in and doing what everyone else is doing in the world just to 'fit in'. no dice.
That's what my old wife says to this day "Yes you were pretty- to good looking for your own good"- She was right. Years later I can barely support myself...I don't own a home- none of my kids went to university . AND...all I know is if you are a woman and want a good material future- find a guy that is not handsome- not that smart- and gets a kick out of having social status...Good luck...personally I would rather be poor with a good looking woman than be rich with a homely one....speaking of plain Jane- even in my old age I get offers from rich widows...But- I don't think I could bare waking up to THAT.

You should be happy your parents didn't share your outlook...

yes that's true but I think he's saying some women, do think like that. If they walk into a room men should want them based on nothing else (because they don't actually do this, IRL or anything). LOL.

No, you just let past relationships an douche bag guys dictate whether or not dating is "worth it".
Regardless, quitters are quitters and no one wants to date a quitter.
