A lot of single men seem to go to church. Maybe that might be a good place to find that special someone?

Ok I think I might go with good looking and intelligent. I can just ignore their angry outbursts maybe?

Intelligence is over rated. Gimme emotional stability - the most important of the three qualities, and then good looks.

You know, that makes sense.

It's a shame if it really did have to come down to choosing between two of those three. The lucky ones can get all three in the same person. I'm hoping my luck is the same one day.

At the least, it's not all or nothing. You can have a beautiful, intelligent person with just enough emotional stability to live with (and just enough instability to make the sex good)

Hahaha@just enough instability to make the sex good

I dunno, a part of me wonders if psycho guys really ARE the best in bed, or is it just a myth?

I may be re-entering the dating pool in the near future, and I am definitely not looking forward to it. Back in the day, women just wanted a guy that cared about them and treated them right and was good husband/father material. Now that women are a lot more independent, it seems they are interested only in "the perfect man" and they don't want that man to impact the independent lifestyle to which they've grown accustomed.

Why do women become so selective as they get older? Every woman who has complained about a lack of single available men has probably rejected acceptable men for trivial reasons. It's not that they can't find available men, they just can't find available men who are tall and thin and handsome and have a full head of hair and have perfect teeth and have a great job and have a lot of money and are extremely intelligent and are very funny and love hiking and enjoy shopping etc etc. The irony of it all is that women are a lot less picky in their teens & twenties when there's a lot more baggage-free available guys around, but when they reach their 30's and 40's they jack up their demands despite a much smaller pool of available men.

As for today's "pick 2 out of 3", how do you know who's emotionally stable when seemingly 3 out of 5 people are on some type of mind-altering med? And if you base your relationship on looks, what happens down the road when the aging process kicks in? I do believe it's important to be on the same intelligence level because if you can't have a stimulating conversation during the 99.9% of the time that you're not doing the nasty, then there will be a communication problem ... and lack of communication is a very common relationship killer.

The older I get, nothing as changed. I still want the guy that cares for me and treats me right. My being independent came out of necessity not as some sort of roadblock to men to say that I don't need them.

I am still as picky as I always was, maybe even a tiny bit less now. I am not complaining about a lack of single men availabe now that I am older as the pool of men who I was interested in always was extra-small. I never ever looked for a man in my life anyway, I just happen to fall in love with somebody or not and usually the attraction was mutual. Never believed in dating to find somebody. I know quite well that my standards are a lot higher than men's standards seem to be when it comes to looking for a partner. If I don't find a man attractive I will find him even less atractive the older he will get, so at least when we start out he definitely should be attractive to me. For me being on the same intelligence level is very nice of course and sure makes things so much easier, but it is not that important at the end of the day. I love to communicate and I will alwyays find ways to have people to share that with but even if not being with somebody who I am totally attracted to is more important to me than good conversations even if I enjoy them a lot more than an average person does.

I have definitely grown and changed and it's all for the better. I have always and will always be indpendent-minded, but that doesn't mean I can't give of myself in a relationship. I don't need a man at all, and that's what makes it so damn great when I want one.

When I was in my teens and 20's all I needed was to think the guy was at least remotely cute and have him be interested in me and I'd give him a chance. That's also your time to experiment. You don't know WHAT you really want, so you try things out. You learn what works and what doesn't.

Now I know what works for me and what doesn't. I have high standards, but none of them are trivial. I don't need a guy who has a certain color hair or any hair for that matter. I don't care how much money he makes (I've got my own). And I don't need him to share evey single one of my hobbies (I can do those on my own and I've got friends besides).

I do need a guy who I am attracted to (and my attraction comes from far more than looks), who makes me laugh, who makes me feel comfortable, who has above-average intelligence and who loves me for me. Who understands I don't need him but I sure do love having him in my life. Who shares many of my values. And we must have compatible life goals, like whether or not we want to be married, have kids, how we want to spend our lives - traveling or staying in one place, how and if we want to retire, etc.

If you can't live up to that, I know I'm better off on my own. And there's nothing wrong with that. You're better off without me too.
