You do not want a serious, long-term relationship.
So you are attracting the "right" type of girls, at least for now.

There's prob some truth to this.

Yea i'm going to have to stop basing it so much on appearances. That should only be a small part. I'm understanding that now with this crazy mofo i'm currently dating. I unfortunately have to learn everything the hard way.

- Manipulative
- Very active on facebook/social media(somewhat narcissistic)

I've been dating pretty actively for the past 4 years and it seems this is the type i keep getting either falling for, seriously dating, or getting in a relationship with. I was starting to think the problem was women, but I've realized it's me. I don't seem give the girls who don't fall into these categories a chance b/c they strike me as boring/not sexual/etc... I know that's a stupid assumption, but I'm just realizing this... Anyone else made these same mistakes and figure it out/corrected themselves?

What are you looking for?

I would say more than 50% date the wrong types until they find happiness with somebody (or alone). It is normal.

I did this once. Met a beautiful, smart woman who could carry a conversation. Got drawn in by looks and intelligence. She was NO FUN as a girlfriend. Like you said, always worried about her looks/hair, what everyone else thought and couldn't keep a phone out of her hand.
I let her looks get in the way of my better judgement. Won't happen again.

If you're meeting these women online, (or in the same place) expect more of the same... ~ Expand your definition of "beauty". Not all attractive women come with that particular set of issues.

Stop looking at the same types. Look at someone not your type.
