Quote From: rsthoughtsWhen you say, "people like us"? Do you mean in your age group or is there something I missed?
I think a good policy is to never "generalize" all men or all women into a category. Yes, there are men who are trying to find a fantasy woman that doesn't exist and therefore never are happy in any relationship and are always looking for something "better". At the same time, there are men out there who are looking for someone to love, care about and spend the rest of their life sharing everything with each other.
I know it's easy to give up and think you won't find anyone. Having a positive outlook when you've faced disappointment is hard but it really does help. Don't give up.
LOL! I think she means anybody who isn't a 25 year old, blonde, busty model! Sometimes guys can be pretty insensitive when they start going on about their fantasies in front of the rest of us who don't quite measure up. To them it's just part of being a guy - that's the kind of woman they are "supposed to" go for, and it's something to talk about with their buddies. These days their buddies are as likely to be female as male, and I think they sometimes forget that. 
 
I also think that as women we should develop our own style, which shows our natural attributes off in their best light, rather than try to compete with a fantasy. In the long run it's better for our self esteem :)
