Years ago she told me "You guys are too hung up on women's looks. You're missing the best catches."
To a large extent, I followed her advice. With all the women with so many issues today, it really works. Men tend to overlook these problems with good looking women, until it is too late, but it is usually far easier to say "three strikes and you are out" with women whose looks are average minus. However, patience is needed to tease out the issues since they are often masters at concealing them.
The one time that I broke with this advice, I was lucky because she broke up with me. Apparently, I wasn't deferential enough to her neuroses. I took it hard initially, but them my friends pointed out that I was an idiot and how lucky I was. "She's no catch and she is narcissistic as well." was the general experienced consensus. She's the problem of somebody else now, and we can look on with bemusement.
There was a time that mom's advice might lead to a successful marriage but few such women exist anymore. They've been pampered too much and they have sky high expectations to boot. A recipe for disaster - for men at least.
My wonderful mother has said, "Be the type of person you want to attract."
Excellent advice but unfortunately for men, being decent, hard working, committed to bettering oneself, compassionate and trustworthy ain't worth squat if you aren't good looking or close and have family money.
