"some of us just like men who are intelligent, honest, decent, kind, general good values, hardworking"
Any idea on when D/FW will get its allocation of women like that? Most of em around here either require their dates to pass a credit pre-qualification or have a psychiatric degree to be able to handle their numerous mental disorders.
I know that a lot of women are gold-diggers, but not all are. I've dated men who were struggling financially, as well as men who were obese or physically unattractive, simply because I felt that they were good people inside, where it counted. My friends have done the same, so I know I'm not the only woman who looks at men as people rather than just 'walking wallets' or eye-candy.
Turning things around a bit, there are also a lot of men who will only date 'hotties' ... who wouldn't give merely average-looking women like myself the time of day. In other words, it works both ways: there are shallow men and shallow women.
The bottom line is that unfortunately (for both men & women) we have to sift through a lot of chaff to find the grain. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt ;-)
