I was dumped by my second boyfriend, and he told me that he never thought he could get a girl like me so he wanted to see if he could do even better. He waited a year and a half after that and then begged me to marry him.

I had already happily moved on.

I dated the hottest girl in school, way, way back. It set a standard for me without doubt. I don't mind average looking women, but will always go for a woman that is in her former category.

Studies claim that for men, their first sexual experiences sort of set their preferences going forward and often for life. The first girl you fall madly in love with, will often resemble those you date throughout your life.

For women this is not so true. Women change their preferences often many times throughout their lives.

The key is to have a happy and fulfilling life when you are alone. That way, a partner just makes your great life even better, but if you lose her your life is still great. And you can keep being picky .

Wow, haha. He deserved that. Dumping somebody just because you think you can do better, just wow.

Oh wait...I was going to but I wasn't madly in love with her, we were both desperate and emotionally needy. What happens then? If that is supposed to set the tone for life I am in really sad shape.

??? Most guys are lucky to spend 15 minutes with someone hot, never mind being "with them long enough" to take them for what they are.

Does the same thing happen to women? As in, are women pickier than men because they have a much easier time finding hot partners, leading to inflation of their standards for future partners?
If you ever had something best you will never choose something worse. It's obviously.
