Dating: Why it seems all the good men are gone

Attractions and Proximities

Why is it, the women I am most attracted to are always unavailable? Most of the women I'm attracted to, when I'm out in public, seem to have one of two characteristics: 1) they are married already; 2) they are dragging along a slew of kids, indicating I suppose, that she is what(?), fun to have sex with?

I know its not just that I only seek the "unavailable or unapproachable" woman, because its also a matter of looking at a photo online and thinking, "that look works for me". Look, I really don't think that I'm all THAT picky. I don't think so anyway. I mean, I'm really not looking for a supermodel or a "10", but someone that has that something special that Really attracts My attention. That attracts me. Who is "attractive". Its not just in her looks, but also in how she looks, at others, at the world.

But mostly, really, it is the looks, let's be honest. Still, if she didn't have a decent personality to back it up, it won't last. So even superficial people can't really be THAT superficial. The dumb hot blond, is fun to be with and cute in her "air headed-ness" but after a while, you're gonna want to bash in her brains with a rock.

And that's just no good in a relationship.

Of course, some of that attraction, could be in how their own attention was being attracted by, Me. Two things I find are very attractive in a woman. First, if they are attracted to you and the more the better (unless it crosses that line, you know, THAT line, the one where if she crosses it, you eventually pick up that line and hang yourself; and also, if they have self-confidence, although, that too, can go to far. And there is something sexy about a certain lack of self-confidence. But once again, if it is too much, its like a dog who cowers every time you come around, and you haven't even done anything to earn that reaction; eventually, it makes you WANT to fulfill that reason for that reaction.

As for looks, I'd be a liar if I didn't admit that someone offering me a choice between a beat up old Chevy oil burner, or a brand new high end Porsche, well I'm obviously going to choose the faster, sleeker, and more refined vehicle to get me through life. Wouldn't you? And stop thinking about maintenance and cost per mile, down that path is the road to madness.

The women I do find attractive online always seem to live in foreign countries, or are too far from my own beautiful city for having reasonable visits on a regular basis. Some of that is in being attracted to thin
