that's true , so we are all just shallow when it comes down to it.

we either want a hot chick or guy to satisfy us in bed, or make us look good.

whatever happened to sweet young love and walks in the forest at dawn?

Not really. I've dated some unattractive men. They were nice guys, though.

Invaluable tool to have. What do you do that entitles you to work with men from all walks of life?
The guy in question in my story isn't religious at all, he's just always wanted a family.

I'm a mechanic by trade, specifically in aviation.

Me too In fact, my friends all joke with me about my 'choice' in men. I've never gone after the pretty boys, I've always gone after the nerdy, mainstream unattractive men. I like quirkiness and 'normal' guys rarely have what I look for.

Studies and reports have been done where its basically concluded that women would much rather have a "bad boy" as a boyfriend/spouse or whatever than a "nice guy". Maybe that's why Rhianna can't get enough of Chris Brown?
And you believe those studies? If what they say were true, only bad boys would be married or paired up, and the good guys would all be single. We've had umpteen threads on this topic, and women post they're married to nice guys. All the women I know avoid bad boys like the plague. The only people who volunteer for abuse, emotional or physical, are women with broken self esteem, mostly due to coming from an abusive home environment.

I guess I would be one of those 'bible thumpers', but I'm not looking for marriage anytime soon.

Like I said, banging a bunch of broads has never been a goal in my life.

I have a soft spot for these guys. They don't treat me like a challenge.

For the bold, touche. As for why we go after beautiful women, we're men after all (as its been mentioned) and we are naturally attracted to them. The woman that I have a crush on and feelings for happens to be attractive, has a great personality, and I enjoy being with her overall.

If and when in the future I have the blessing of a marriage and a loving wife, I will view that loving bond as sacred, eternal, and unbreakable, with the only reasons for a potential ending of that relationship being adultery or abuse (and even then in the cases of the latter, I would still try very, very hard to save the marriage).

I freely acknowledge and understand that others' views may differ on the subject, and that is perfectly fine as well -- I would never seek to impose my own beliefs on others ("Judge not; lest ye be judged"). To each his or her own I realize that what works for me in my case may not work for others, and I certainly do not presume to see my way as "the only way". I can only know what works best personally for me, based on my own individual emotional permanent, and to that extent, can only be true to that for myself.
I looked back at some of your other posts and realized you have and will have the same stance(which is very respectable). I guess the only point I have remaining would be if you had girls throwing themselves at you you may have broken by now. I hope you find it soon, but if it's better later than never. Good luck sir.
